Answer:
15 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of weeks = x.
At the end of x weeks,
Jeremy has 120 + 14x,
and Katie has 180 + 10x
We want to know when their amounts are equal.
120 + 14x = 180 + 10x
4x = 60
x = 15
Answer: 15 weeks
When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89
0.43 =
3/100 = 0.03
+
4/10 = 0.4
0.03 + 0.4 = 0.43.
Hope this helped☺☺
Answer:
{HH, HT, TH, TT}
Step-by-step explanation:
The set of all possible outcomes in tossing a coin twice is;
{HH, HT, TH, TT}
In the first toss the coin may land Heads. In the second toss the coin may land Heads or Tails. This can be represented as;
HH, HT
Heads in the first and second tosses. Heads in the first toss followed by a Tail in the second toss.
In the first toss the coin is also likely to land Tails. In the second toss the coin may land Heads or Tails. This can be represented as;
TH, TT
Tails in the first toss followed by a Head in the second toss. Tails in the first and second tosses.
Combining these two possibilities will give us the set of all possible outcomes in tossing a coin twice is;
{HH, HT, TH, TT}
Answer:
∠L = 43°
∠M = 121°
∠N = 16°
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Start by setting all sides equal to 180</u>
3x - 5 + 7x + 9 + x = 180
<u>Add like terms</u>
11x + 4 = 180
<u>Solve for x</u>
11x + 4 = 180
- 4 - 4
11x = 176
/ 11 /11
x = 16
<u>Now, plug in 16 for all instances of x on the triangle and solve.</u>
∠L = 43°
∠M = 121°
∠N = 16°
