Skylar is answering the following math problem: The value of an investment decreased by 10%. The original amount of the investme

nt was $75.00. What is the current value of the investment? Skylar said 10% of $75.00 is $7.50, and since the investment decreased by that amount, you have to subtract $7.50 from $75.00 to arrive at the final answer of $67.50. Create one algebraic equation that can be used to arrive at the final answer of $67.50. Solve the equation to prove it results in an answer of $67.50. Be prepared to explain your thought process to the class.

Answer:

The given parameters of the investment are;

The rate of decrease of the investment, r = -10%

The original amount of the investment, P = $75.00

Let 'A' represent the final answer (value of the investment) after the decrease in the investment, 'r', is applied, we have;

The algebraic equation that can be used to arrive at the final answer, 'A', is given as follows;

A = P + r·P

Therefore by substituting the given values, we have;

A = $75.00 + (-10/100) × $75.00 = $75.00 - 0.1 × $75.00 = $75.00 - $7.50

A = $75.00 - $7.50 = $67.50

The final amount or answer, A = $67.50

A month of the year is chosen at random. What is the probability that the month starts with the letter Jor the letter M?
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

5 out of 12

5/12

January, March, May, June, July

There are three months whose name starts with the letter 'j': January, June, July

There are two months whose name starts with the letter 'm': March, May

So altogether, there are 5 months whose name starts with the letter 'j' or 'm'. So the possible outcome is 5 and total number of sample space is 12.

Therefore the required probability is: 5/12

kogti [31]
To find the volume of a cylinder , you will use the formula
V = Bh, where B is the area of the circular base.
Pi x r^2 x h
pi x 6^2 x 12
V = 432
The volume of the cylinder is 432pi cm³.

What is 5 minus 7/16
nekit [7.7K]
Hello.

Convert.
5 = 80/16
80/16 - 7/16 = 73/16
Simplify.
73/16 = 4  \frac{9}{16}
Thus, 5 - 7/16 = 4  \frac{9}{16}
You're welcome.

A circle with a radius of 15.4 meters. Which statements are true about the circle shown? Check all that apply. The diameter of t
Dafna1 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

the diameter of a circle is simply 2×radius.

2×15.4 = 30.8 m

the diameter is 30.8 m is true.

the circumference of a circle is

2×pi×radius

2×pi×15.4 = 30.8×pi m

the circumference is 30.8pi m is true.

therefore, the circumference can be found using

2(pi)(15.4)

is true.

now, doing the pi multiplication :

30.8 × pi = 96.76105373... m

the approximate circumference is 96.7 m is true.

6 diameters would be

30.8×6 = 184.8 m

that is much longer than the circumference.

so, more than 6 diameters could be wrapped around the circle is false, if we understand it that this is supposed to wrap the circle once without any overhanging remainder.
