Answer:

Percent increase = 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Old price of shoes = $65

New price of shoes = $81

Difference = 81 - 65

Difference = 16

Percent increase = $\frac{Difference}{Old\ price}*100$

Percent increase = $\frac{16}{65}*100$

Percent increase = 0.246 * 100

Percent increase = 24.6%

Rounding off to nearest whole number

Increase = 25%

Hence,

Percent increase = 25%

Evaluate the following expression. 3^-2

Crazy boy [7]

Answer: The simplified form is $\frac{1}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$3^{-2}$

As we know the "Exponential law":

$a^{-1}=\frac{1}{a^m}$

So, it becomes

$3^{-2}=\frac{1}{3^2}$

Now, at last it becomes,

$3^{-2}=\frac{1}{3\times 3}=\frac{1}{9}$

Hence, the simplified form is $\frac{1}{9}$

PLEASE HELP!!!!!! I need help on this problem

Answer:

185 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is possible to model an equation for this, such that

$0.10x + 14.80 = 0.08x + 18.50$

where x represents the number of minutes.

Then, you solve for x:

$0.10x + 14.80 = 0.08x + 18.50 \\ 0.02x = 3.70 \\ x = \frac{3.70}{ 0.02} \\ x = 185$

Answer:

$p=36^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can prove that a tangent will always be perpendicular to the radius touching it. So, the other angle in the diagram is $90^{\circ}$ .

Because all the angles of a triangle sum to $180^{\circ}$ , we have that $p+54+90=180$ .

We combine like terms on the left side to get $p+144=180$ .

We subtract $144$ on both sides to get $p=36$ .

So, $\boxed{p=36^{\circ}}$ and we're done!
