$1.88 is our amount after the 380% is added!
$1.88 - 380%*x = x
Note, that when you are working with percents in a problem you need to convert the percent into a decimal value in order to properly work with it in an equation like the one above.
So, it will look like this:
$1.88 - 3.8x = x
Now onto explaining how I derived this equation in the first place, because it doesn't help you if you don't know how to do it yourself.
How a percent problem works is if you are taking some original price x, and increasing it by 380% you would take 380% of the item, and then adding it to the item. To take 380% of an item you would need to multiply the number by 380% (3.8). So, if you translate that into math it looks like this:
x + 380%*x = y
Y, in this case is $1.88. In other words it is the price AFTER you've added 380% to the cost. So I started to solve for x by subtracting 380%*x on both sides leaving us with this:
$1.88 - 3.8x = x
We need to solve the equation for x by adding 3.8x on both sides.
$1.88 = 3.8x + x
Combine like terms.
$1.88 = 4.8x
Divide both sides by 4.8.
$1.88/4.8 = x
So our original price is $1.88/4.8!
The question asks for the 380% * x part of the problem.
So we take our answer and multiply it by 3.8.
($1.88/4.8)*3.8 = $1.49 mark up!
Answer:
Refer to the following information on full-term births in the United States over a given period of time.
Type of Birth Number of Births

Quadruplets 200
Use this information to estimate the probabilities of the following events.
(a) A randomly selected pregnant woman who reaches full term delivers twins. (Give the answer to three significant figures.)
(b) A randomly selected pregnant woman who reaches full term delivers quadruplets. (Give the answer to three significant figures.)
(c) A randomly selected pregnant woman who reaches full term gives birth to more than a single child. (Give the answer to three significant figures
Answer:
2440.
Step-by-step explanation:
If earth is a certain amount greater than the radius you are trying to find you would take earths measurements and take away what was said to be greater than mercury. Then after you do all the math you come up with mercurys radius measurements.
The sum will be:
sigma(i = 1 to infinity, 30*(2/5)^i)
->
Which is equal to 30/(3/5) = 50

Answer:
90 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The lateral area of a cylinder is given by the formula ...
LA = πdh
Filling in the given information, we can solve for h:
11,880 cm^2 = π(42 cm)h
h = 1180 cm^2/(42π cm) ≈ 90.0 cm
The height of the cylinder is about 90 cm.
