Feliz [49]3 years ago

Answer:

$6932

Step-by-step explanation:

Let last year's sales = x.  Since there was a decrease of 5%, that means this year's sales are 95% of last year's sales.

So, .95x = 6585

x = 6932 to the nearest dollar

The janitor at a school discovered a leak in a pipe. The janitor found that it was leaking at a rate of 11 fl oz per hour. How f
netineya [11]
Here's what you need to know in order to answer this:

       1 gallon  =  128 fl oz
and      
       1 day  =  24 hours. 
    
Use those facts to invent fractions equal to ' 1 '.
Then use those to change the units of the "11 fl oz per hour".
You can multiply them ... since their value is ' 1 ', they won't
change the value of the "11 fl oz per hour", only the units.

                  (11 fl oz/hr) x (24 hr/da) x (1 gal / 128 fl oz)

               = (11 x 24 x 1 / 128)  (fl-oz - hr - gal) / (hr - da - fl-oz)

               =         2.0625                        gal/da

A piggy bank contains 36 coins that consists of dimes and quarters totaling $5.85 how many quarters are in the piggy bank in you
Lesechka [4]
The main idea here is to "translate" the words into maths. 
First we need to identify the unknowns and label these. 

We need to know the number if dimes and the number of quarters. So lets say
x: number of dimes
y: number of quarters

Now lets write equations from the written problem. 
We know that there are 36 coind total, thus: 
x + y = 36
We also know that the coins total 5.85 dollars, but it is better to count in cents, that is 585 cents. 
x are the number of dimes, their value is x*10
y are quarters with value of y*25
thus: 
10x+25y=585

We have two equations and two unknowns now, that needs to be solved to get the answer. 

x + y = 36
10x+25y=585

PLEASE HELP ASAPPP !! Instructions: State what additional information is required in order to know that the triangles are congru
Svetllana [295]
<h3>Answer: angle T = angle W</h3>

Explanation:

We are given the sides are congruent due to the tickmarks. Specifically

TU = WV (single tickmarks)

TV = WX (double tickmarks)

So we just need the "A" of "SAS". The A is between the two S letters, so the angle is between the two sides. For triangle TUV, the angle T is between the two sides with the tickmarks. Similarly, angle W is between the tickmarked sides of triangle WVX.

If we know that angle T = angle W, then we have enough information to use SAS.
