What is a percentage? What do we do with percentages?

Mathematics
1 answer:
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.

Find the indicated limit, if it exists. limit of f of x as x approaches 0 where f of x equals 5x minus 8 when x is less than 0 a
vlabodo [156]
The limit does not exist. Why? Because the left hand limit DOES NOT equal the right hand limit. Let’s double check:

We could use -0.000001 to represent the left hand limit. This is less than 0. We plug in 5x - 8

5(-0.000001) - 8
-0.000005 - 8
-8.000005
If we would continue the limit (extend the zeros to infinity), we would get exactly
-8
That is our left hand limit.

Our right hand limit will be represented by 0.000001. This is greater than 0. We plug in abs(-4 - x)

abs(-4 - (0.000001))
abs(-4.000001)
4.000001
If we would continue the limit (extend the zeros to infinity), we would get exactly
4

4 does not equal -8, therefore

The limit does not exist

vova2212 [387]
 First add 24.95 and 35.99. You get 60.94 (Remember This!)

Now you take 49.95 divided by 2. you should get: 24.975.

add 24.975 with 60.94. You get 85.915

take 85.915 and multiply it by 0.15. You get 12.88725. 

Subtract 85.915 by 12.88725. You should get 73.02775.

Now multiply that by 0.045. you should get 3.28624875. 

Add that onto 73.02775, and you get 76.31399875.

Round that to the nearest hundredth, and your done! (The answer is: 76.31!) 

The answer will be the B.

kramer

Answer:

3200 = 168x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

$3200 is the total sales in dollars, so we're going to plug that in for y (it says in the equation that y represents the total sales in dollars). And the rest of the equation stays the same.

I hope this helped!
