Answer:

The required equation is:

0.23x = 52

Hence, option A is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let 'x' be the initial depth

The snow is now 52 inches deep and it is a 77% decrease.

Let the initial 'x' depth be represented as 100%.

x → 100%

Given the current 52 inches is a 77% decrease. So, we need to decrease the 77/100 or 0.77 from the initial depth, so

[100% - 77%] of x = 52

[100/100 - 77/100] × x = 52

[1 - 0.77] × x = 52

0.23x = 52

Therefore, the required equation is:

0.23x = 52

Hence, option A is true.

Your calculator says error because you cant have a square root of a negative number because there is no solution to that maybe recheck your equation and try again

Guests at a wedding had a choice of three main courses: fish, beef or chicken. ⅖ of the guests ordered fish, 3/10 ordered beef.
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the fraction of guests that ordered chicken, we must evaluate:

1 - 2/5 - 3/10

= 1 - 4/10 - 3/10

= 1 - 7/10

= 3/10

jok3333 [9.3K]
You provide info on the circumstances but do not provide instructions.  What are you looking for here?

Suppose the board game cost $25 before tax.

If the tax payable was $1.54, then the sales tax rate was r:
                                                     $1.54
$25r = $1.54.  Solving for r,   r = ---------- = 0.0616, or 6.16% 
                                                       $25

If this isn't quite what you were looking  /  hoping for, then please ensure you have copied down the original problem exactly.
