and then there's a line with 2y right under that expression
Answer:
The perimeter is 22.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you turn this shape into a rectangle, the perimeter doesn't change.
The width is given, it is 7.5. The height is BC+DE = 3.5
Then the perimeter is twice the width plus twice the height:
7.5*2 + 3.5*2 = 15+7 = 22
37k (cost of the materials for each kite) plus 28k (the labor for each kite) plus 6,000=x (the total cost). With this equation you can plug in any number of kites so...
37k+28k+6,000=x Combine like terms...
65k+6,000=x Plug in k...
65(170)+6,000=x Multiply...
11,050+6,000=x Add...
x=17,050
Answer: 25
Step-by-step explanation: 8*5=40, so multiply 5 by 5. Or, to put it another way:
5/8 = 25/40
Answer:
2%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the first number
It increases by 70 %
The new number is
m = x+ .70x
= 1.7x
Let y be the second number
It decreases by 40 %
The new number is
n =y - .40 y
= .6y
The product of the original numbers is xy
The product of the new number is
mn = (1.7x * .6y) = 1.02xy
The new number is larger than the old number so it is an increase.
Percent increase is new - original divided by original times 100%
Percent increase = (1.02 xy - xy)
----------------- * 100%
xy
= .02 xy
------- * 100 %
xy
= .02 * 100 %
= 2%
