Carla is a US student. She is purchasing used textbooks, because she is balling on a budget (pro tip: don't ever buy new books)!

She purchased a math book and a reading book, and the total was $54. The price of the math book is $8 more than 3 times the cost of the reading book. What is the cost of each book?

I think this is how you do it. Use x as the price of the reading book, then make it an equation. Let me know if you don’t understand any of the steps. Hope that helps!

15 is what percent of 40%
Andrej [43]

15 is 37.5% of 40

<em>Equation: Y = P% * X</em>

<em />

P% = Y/X

P% = 15/40

p = 0.375

0.375 × 100 = 37.5%

Suppose you throw a ball straight up from the ground with a velocity of 256
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. h after 4 seconds:

h = -16(4)^2 + 256(4)    

    = -256 + 1024

    =  768 ft

b.   When the height is 1008 ft

     1008 = -16t^2 + 256t

     16t^2 - 256t + 1008 = 0

      16(t^2 - 16t + 63) = 0

       16(t - 7)(t - 9) = 0

        t = 7, 9

      So it will take 7 seconds to rise to 1008 feet and and after 9 seconds        it will pass 1008 on the way down

     So the times are 7, 9 seconds.

c.  When the ball reaches the ground h = 0:

    -16t^2 + 256t = 0

    -16t(t - 16) = 0

      t - 16 = 0

      t = 16 seconds.

Can someone help please!! i will give brainliest
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

1. $427.50

2. 50 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, find your salary at minimum hours, which is $360. Then, take your second equation, plug in 45, and solve using PEMDAS. This will give you $427.50

2. To solve this, you'll need to set it up like so:

495 = 13.5 (x - 40) + 360

Your next step will be to distribute the number outside the parentheses. This will give you:

495 = 13.5x - 540 + 360

Simplify, like so:

495 = 13.5x - 180

Solve.

495 = 13.5x - 180

+180             +180

This will give you:

675 = 13.5x

Divide each side.

675 = 13.5x

------    -------

13.5     13.5

  50 = x

nadezda [96]
Answer: The measure of the major arc is 68 degrees plus the measure of the small arc.

In the problem given, we don't know all the needed measurements (is there a diagram?). Therefore, we can find an expression for the answer, not the value itself.  

The angles are related with the following expression.

Outside Angle = 0.5(Major Arc - Minor Arc)

Solving for the major arc gives us.

34 = 0.5(y - x)
68 = y - x
68 + x = y

Given two angles that measure 50 degrees and 80 degrees and a side that measures 4 feet, how many triangles, if any, can be cons
Elza [17]
Since we have the triangle, but don't know which side 4 is on, we have one where x is opposite a 50 degree angle (they are the same if across either 50 degree side) and another across the 80 degree one. In addition, it's really ratios and sin/cos/tan from there!
