Answer:
B. 12.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Add all the hours together to get 20. We make the assumption that 20 is 100% since it is our output value. We next represent the value we seek with x. From step 1, it follows that 100%=20. In the same vein, x%=2.5.This gives us a pair of simple equations:
100%=20(1)
x%=2.5(2)
By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS (left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have
=
Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides gives us this:
>> x=12.5\%
Therefore, 2.5 is 12.5% of 20.
Answer:
24) x = 9.2

Solving (24)
To solve for x, we make use of cosine formula
i.e.
cos(40) = adjacent ÷ hypotenuse
So, we have:
cos(40) = x ÷ 12
Multiply both sides by 12
12 cos(40) = x
12 * 0.7660 = x
x = 9.2
Solving (25)
To solve for x, we make use of sine formula
i.e.
sin(25) = opposite ÷ hypotenuse
So, we have:
sin(25) = 13 ÷ x
Multiply both sides by
x sin(25) = 13
Divide by sin(25)
x = 13 ÷ sin(25)
Using a calculator
x = 30.8
