Find an equivalent percent for 7/10

zubka84 [21]

So, you know that any number with 100 as the denominator will be a fraction. All you have to do is change the 10 you have now to 100. To do that, you have to multiply BOTH numerator and denominator (top and bottom) by 10. That results in 70/100, which is equal to 70%.
The equivalent percent for 7/10 is 70%.

The sum of two numbers is twice their difference. the larger number is 6 more than twice the smaller. find the numbers.

soldi70 [24.7K]

Let the numbers be x and y; x being the larger number and y being the smaller.

Given,

x + y = 2* (x - y)

x + y = 2x - 2y

x = 3y

Also given,

x = 6 + 2y

3y = 6 + 2y

--- y = 6

Thus, x = 3y = 3*6 = 18.

Therefore, the numbers are 18 and 6.

chet needs to buy 4 work shirts,all costing the same amount .the total cost before chet appplies a $25 gift certificate can be n

Rashid [163]

So for this problem, let us use x as the cost before Chet would apply a $25 gift certificate. Based on the problem, we can see that the original cost of the product cannot be more than 75 which means that it can be equal to 75 or less than 75. We can actually express the inequality as x< or = 75 since we are looking for the cost before Chet applied the $25 gift certificate. This means that we do not need to add in the 25 yet since the question asks for the cost before the application of the discount.

Which represents a function?

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

$\boxed{ \text{Option \: D}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

All the relations are not functions. We can determine ( identify ) whether a relation is function or not by drawing a vertical line intersecting the graph of the relation. This is called vertical line test.

If the vertical line intersects the graph of a relation at one point , the relation is a function .
If it cuts at more than one point , it is not a function. It means that if there are more points of the graph of a relation of a vertical line , same first component ( pre - image ) has more images ( second component ) which is not the function by definition.

--------------------------------------------------

Let's check all of the options :

☐ Option A :

The vertical line cuts the graph at two points. So , the graph does not represent a function.

☐ Option B

No! This is also not a function as the vertical line cuts the graph at two points.

☐ Option C

Nah! This too can't be called a function as the vertical line cuts the graph at two points.

☑ Option D

Yep! The vertical line cuts the graph at one point. Thus , the graph represents a function.

Yayy!! We found our answer. It's ' Option D '.

Hope I helped ! ツ

Have a wonderful day / night ! ♡
