70 you solve by making a proportion 2.8/x =4/100
To solve this problem you have to convert the percentage to a decimal which would
be .40.
40% =40/100=.40
After doing so all you need to do is divide the amount needed by the percentage which gives you the amount she has saved.
225/.40= $90
Lauren has $90 saved
Answer:
b=-a
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that b is located the same distance from 0 as another number, a, but in the opposite direction.
so the sum of the two numbers equal zero
a+b=0
a=-b or b=-a
Answer:
4x +y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are the negative reciprocals of one another. When the equation of the line is written in standard form like this, the equation of the perpendicular line can be written by swapping the x- and y-coefficients and negating one of them. Doing this much would give you ...
4x +y = (constant)
Note that we have chosen to make the equation read 4x+y, not -4x-y. The reason is that "standard form" requires the leading coefficient to be positive.
Now, you just need to make sure the constant is appropriate for the point you want the line to go through. So, it needs to be ...
4(2) +(-5) = constant = 3
The line of interest has equation ...
4x + y = 3
The order of division determines the numerator and the denominator and this can effect the value. And example of this:
3/2 = 1.5
2/3 = 0.6667
Whereas, multiplication is not affected by the order:
2 x 3 = 6
3 x 2 = 6
