Answer: 5940

Step-by-step explanation: I don't know if it's for sure right but here

First I knew 10,800 was 100% and I wanted to find 2.5%

So I did:

10,800 divided by 100 and I got 108 = 1%

Than you want to do

108 x 2.5 = 270 ( 2.5% )

After that you wanted to find out how much years apart so

2021 - 2003 = 18

Then

18 x 270 = 4,860

Last of all you have to do

10,800 - 4,860 = 5940

A large chocolate bar has a base area of 47.1 square feet and it’s length is 0.7 feet longer than twice it’s width. Find the len
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The dimensions of the bar are width = 4.68099 feet and length = 10.06198 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A chocolate bar has a rectangular shape, therefore it's area is given by the following formula:

area = width*length

In this case the length is 0.7 feet longer than twice the width, therefore:

length = 2*width + 0.7

Applying the second equation on the first one and using the data from the question we have:

47.1 = width*(2*width + 0.7)

47.1 = 2*width² + 0.7*width

2*width² + 0.7*width = 47.1

width² + 0.35*width = 23.55

width = \frac{-0.35 \pm \sqrt{0.35^2 -4*1*(-23.55)}}{2*1} = -0.175 \pm 4,85599

width = 4.68099 or width = -5.03099

Since the width can't be negative, it can only be 4.68099 feet.

length = 2*4.68099 + 0.7 = 10.06198 feet.

Help and explain explain !!!!!!!!!!
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

x=-1\text{ or }x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

For a=|b|, we have two cases:

\begin{cases}a=b,\\a=-b\end{cases}

Therefore, for 18=|15-3x|, we have the following cases:

\begin{cases}18=15-3x,\\18=-(15-3x)\end{cases}

Solving, we have:

\begin{cases}18=15-3x, -3x=3, x=\boxed{-1},\\18=-(15-3x), 18=-15+3x, 33=3x, x=\boxed{11}\end{cases}.

Therefore,

\implies \boxed{x=-1\text{ or }x=11}

Katarina [22]

Answer:

Each student gets 2 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

So you would divide 7 by 3, which you can't...so 6 divided by 3 is 2, and when you split the last one into thirds you can each have 1/3. Add the sections together, and each person gets 2 1/3

Margaret is saving money for her summer vacation. She calculates that her starting amount is 0.4% of the total amount she wants
garri49 [273]

0.4% can be written as 0.004 in decimal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total amount she wants to save be 'a'

Starting amount = 0.4% of the total amount

= 0.4% of a

= (0.4/100) a

0.4% = 0.4/100

= 0.004

0.4% can be written as 0.004 in decimal.
