Mathematics

Marianna [84]3 years ago

Answer:

percentages are used like fractions and decimals, as ways to describe parts of a whole. For example, discounts in shops, bank interest rates, rates of inflation and many statistics in the media are expressed as percentages. Percentages are important for understanding the financial aspects of everyday life. When you are using percentages, the whole is considered to be made up of a hundred equal parts. The symbol % is used to show that a number is a percentage, and less commonly the abbreviation 'pct' may be used.

Based on the polynomial reminder theorem, what is the value of the function when x= -5
densk [106]

Answer:

-15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a polynomial in x

F (x)= x^4 + 12x^3 + 30x^2 - 12x + 70

We have to find the remainder when the above polynomial is divided by x+5

Remainder theorem says that f(x) gives remainder R when divided by polynomial x-a means f(a) = R

Applying the above theorem we can say that value of the function when x =-5

= Remainder when f is divided by x+5

= F(-5)

Substitute the value of -5 in place of x

= (-5)^4 + 12(-5)^3 + 30(-5)^2 - 12(-5) + 70

= 625-1500+750+60+70

= 5

Hence answer is 5

Billie Holiday sells children's clothing for Sara Vaughn's Toddler Shop. Baby blankets sell for $29.99 after a markup rate based
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Cost: $14.349

Markup: $15.649

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Rewrite the percent as decimal. Divide it by 100, as following:

 109/100=1.09

3. Now, knowing that Baby blankets sell for $29.99 after a markup rate based on cost of 109%, you can write the following expresion:

x+1.09x=29.99

Where x is the cost.

 4. You must solve for x, then, you obtain:

2.09x=29.99\\x=\frac{29.99}{2.09}\\x=14.349

5. The markup is:

M=29.99-14.349=15.649

Need hep teaching my daughter. Janet went to Resturant and left 20% tip. If tip was $3.20 how much was meal? Solve with equation
Stels [109]

Answer:

The meal was $16.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

since the equation for finding the tip is: decimal of percent times total bill, what you want to do is isolate the bill. you do this by dividing both sides by percent and your equation is total cost = tip/percent

let's say our total equation is x.

x=3.20/0.2

x=16

Now check your work.
