Answer:
5 books per month
Step-by-step explanation:
We are trying to find a rate.
To find books per month, we would take the number of books and divide it by the number of months.
This would give us 10 books/2 months.
10/2 simplifies to 5.
Therefore the answer would be 5 books per month.
Answer:
£160,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Alice bought the house in 2008 for £x.
In 2014, the house sold for a 20% profit, so it sold for 1.2x. (* see explanation below)
In 2019, the house sold for a 5% loss, so it sold for 0.95(1.2x). (* see explanation below)
In 2019, it sold for £182,400.
0.95(1.2x) = 182,400
1.14x = 182,400
x = 182,400/1.14
x = 160,000
Answer: £160,000
* Explanation of 1.2 and 0.95.
A quick way to apply a percent increase or decrease to a number is to using the following method. The number you start with is 100% of the number. If you are adding a percent to it, then add the percent to 100% and convert it to a decimal. If you are subtracting the percent, then subtract the percent from 100% and convert to a decimal. Then multiply the decimal by the original number to find the increased or decreased number.
Example of percent increase:
A book used to cost £10. The price went up by 12%. What is the new price?
100% + 12% = 112% = 1.12
1.12 * £10 = £11.20
Example of percent decrease:
A pair of trousers costs £60. It is on sale at 35% off the regular price. What is the sale price?
100% - 35% = 65% = 0.65
0.65 * £60 = £39
Answer:6.25 pounds left
Step-by-step explanation: 3 x 1 1/4= 3.75 pounds gone so if you add 6.25 pounds more you are at 10 pounds so
Answer:
It intersects the x-axis at x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Find slope <em>m</em>
m = (5 - 1)/(5 - 9)
m = 4/-4
m = -1
y = -x + b
Step 2: Find <em>b</em>
5 = -5 + b
b = 10
Step 3: Rewrite equation
y = -x + 10
Step 4: Find <em>x</em> when <em>y</em> = 0
0 = -x + 10
-10 = -x
x = 10
So the graph crosses the x-axis at 10.
17∠x-11 set up the equation like this
28∠x add 17 to the other side, and you get x is greater than 28
