well, 6.2% of 4,300 can't be over half. she has made a calculation error, and the real answer is (this is where the mistake was made) 4,300 * 0.062 (not 6.2, because percents are always divided by 100 to make them into a usable number), which is equal to $266.60.
Answer: 40
Step-by-step explanation:
1 hour and 30 min is 15 pages read
If you read for three hours its 30 pages
An hour and a half is three parts of 30 so three parts of 15 is five
But you need a whole hour so its ten
Then you add 10 and 30
Its 40 pages in 4 hours.
Let the number be x, therefore, its square is x², and 44 more than the number is x+44 whose square is (x+4)².
Thus the sum will be x² + (x+44)²² = 8080
x² + x² + 88x + 1936= 8080 Combining the right terms
2x² + 8x - 6144 = 0 dividing by 2
x² + 44x - 3072 =0 solving for x
x = 37.6 or -81.6
Therefore, the positive number is 37.6
2x+10=0
subtract 10 from both sides
2x=(-10)
divide 2 from both sides
x=-5
