Answer:

x= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Ratio= 5:2:x

Combined ratio= 5+2+x

                        = 7+x

Total amount of money= $15000

Let us apply the part to all method

Hence for Matthew whose share = $7500

5/7+x=  7500/15000

Cross multiply we have

7500*(7+x)= 15000*5

52500+7500x= 75000

Collect like terms we have

7500x= 75000-52500

7500x=22500

x= 22500/7500

x=3

Hence the value of x= 3

The price of a cup coffee was 2.40 yesterday. Today, the price fell to 2.15 find the percentage decrease. Round the answer to th
irakobra [83]
ANSWER

The percentage decrease is 10.4%.

EXPLANATION

To calculate percentage decrease, use the formula,

Percentage decrease

= \frac{new \: price - old \: price}{old \: price} \times 100\%

Yesterday the price of coffee was 2.40. This is the old price.

Today the price is 2.15. This is the new price.

= \frac{2.15 - 2.40}{2.40} \times 100\%

= \frac{ - 0.25}{2.40} \times 100\%

= - 0. 10416667 \times 100\%

= - 10.416667\%

To the nearest tenth, we have:

- 10.4\%

Therefore the percentage decrease is 10.4%.

Algebra 2...can someone tell me how to do this???
crimeas [40]

Use the 2 dots on the line located at (0,1) and (-3,0).


The slope is the change in Y over the change in X:


Change in Y = 0-1 = -1

Change in X = -3 - 0 = -3

Slope = -1 / -3 = 1/3

They intercept in this case is Y1 which = 1.


The equation is y = 1/3x + 1
