8 0

Answer:

$44

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula

% out of 100/100% = part/whole

20%/100 = 12/16+x

Cross multiply

(12)(100) = (20)(16+x)

1200=320+20x

Solve for x

1200-320 = 20x

880 = 20x

880/20 = x

44 = x

Jim's lunch was $44.

can someone write a paragraph explaining in your own words how muscles and bones work together, PLEASEEEEEEEEEE
Alona [7]
You have to give me Brainly

Bones provide support for our bodies and help form our shape. Although they're very light, bones are strong enough to support our entire weight.

Bones also protect the organs in our bodies. The skull protects the brain and forms the shape of the face. The spinal cord, a pathway for messages between the brain and the body, is protected by the backbone, or spinal column. The ribs form a cage that shelters the heart and lungs, and the pelvis helps protect the bladder, part of the intestines, and in women, the reproductive organs.

Bones are made up of a framework of a protein called collagen , with a mineral called calcium phosphate that makes the framework hard and strong. Bones store calcium and release some into the bloodstream when it's needed by other parts of the body. The amounts of certain vitamins and minerals that you eat, especially vitamin D and calcium, directly affect how much calcium is stored in the bones.

Sheila bought 10 1⁄2 oz of almonds for $3.36. how much did the almonds cost per ounce?
Verdich [7]
Cost per ounce means you take the cost and divide it by the cost: 

<span>3.36 / (21/2) </span>

<span>division of fractions changes to the multiplication of the reciprocal: </span>

<span>3.36 * (2 / 21) </span>

<span>3.36 and has 21 as a factor, so let's cancel it: </span>

<span>0.16 * 2 </span>

<span>$0.32 per ounce</span>

Last year, Amy opened an investment account with $6800. At the end of the year, the amount in the account had increased by 23.5%
qaws [65]

Answer:

-The increase in dollars is $1598

-The amount in her account at the end of last year was $8398.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the increase, you have to multiply the initial amount for the percentage increase:

6800*23.5%=1598

Now, to find the amount in her account at the end of last year, you have to add the initial amount plus the increase in dollars:

6800+1598=8398

According to this, the amount in her account at the end of last year was $8398.
