A. about 14
divide 72/5= 14.4 which rounds to 14
Answer:
the answer will be 18 ohkay but they will eill have more dimes than quarters
In the image, as denoted by similar sides OP and MN, we can conclude that the 2 triangles are similar triangles. To look for the value of x (which we can substitute later to find the length of segment LP), we relate the relations of segments LO and LP to segments LM and LN. This relation is shown below:
LO/LP = LM/LN
22 / x+12 = 30 / x+12 + 5
22 / <span>x+12 = 30 / x+17
</span>
Cross-multiplying:
30x + 360 = 22x + 374
Isolating x to one side of the equation by subtracting 22x and 360 from both sides:
30x + 360 - 360 - 22x = 22x + 374 - 360 - 22x
8x = 14
x = 1.75
Since we now have the value of x, we substitute this to the equation of LP:
LP = x + 12
LP = 1.75 + 12
LP = 13.75
Therefore the value of LP is 13.75 in.
% change= (new # - original #) ÷ original # x 100
original #= 98
new #= 62
% change= (62-98)/98 x 100
= -36/98 x 100
= -0.36734 x 100
= -36.73%
Rounded to nearest 10th of %= -36.7%
CHECK:
= 98 - (98 * 36.73%)
= 98 - (98 * 0.3673)
= 98 - 36
= 62 new #
ANSWER:
Her percent error was 36.7% (rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent). The negative indicates a decrease.
Hope this helps! :)
