Answer:

The score of the dropped grade is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average of a set of numbers you need to add all the numbers and divide by how many numbers there are. The problem wants you to solve it in reverse. Let put this into an algebraic equation with a, b, c, d, and e being the variables of the test scores

(a+b+c+d+e)/5=10

Then we can multiply both sides by 5 and get

a+b+c+d+e=50

Lets assume that c is the lowest test score. To calculate the average of that we get

a+b+d+e/4=11

Doing the same thing, we know that a+b+d+e=44

Now compare the two:

a+b+c+d+e=50

a+b+d+e=44

We can now know that c=50-44=6

So, 6 is the score of the dropped quiz. Hope that helped!

Whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.

since we know inflation is 3.7%, what is 3.7% of 1.69?

well is just (3.7/100) * 1.69.

that's how much the quart of oil costs more now.  So simply add that to 1.69.

Write each sum using summation notation<br> 12 + 22 + 32 + 42 + ⋯ + 10000^2
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

50,00,70,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is Arithmetic Progression.

Arithmetic Progression is a sequence in which every two neighbor digits have equal distances.

Here first we will find the number of terms

For finding the nth term, we use formula

aₙ = a + (n - 1) d

where, aₙ = value of nth term

a = First term

n = number of term

d = difference

Now, In given sequence: 12, 22, 32, 42, ⋯ , 100002

a = 12, d = 10, n = ? and  aₙ= 100002

∴ 100002  = 12 + (n - 1) × (10)

⇒ 99990 = 10(n - 1)

⇒ n = 10000

Now using the formula of Sum of Arithmetic Sequence,

Sₙ = n÷2[2a + (n - 1)d]

⇒ Sₙ = (10000÷2)[2 × 12 + 9999 × 10]

⇒ Sₙ = 5000 [ 24 + 99990]

⇒ Sₙ = 5000 × 100014 = 50,00,70,000

Solve by elimination:<br> 2x + 4y = 34<br> x+4y = 27<br> A (7,-5)<br> B (6,6)<br> (7,5)<br> (5,7)
julsineya [31]

Answer:

(7,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

{2x + 4y = 34

{4y = 27 - x

2x + 27 - x = 34

x=7

4y = 27 - 7

y = 5 so the answer is ( 7,5)

THE QUESTION IS DOWN BELOW.<br>major points when given branliest
emmainna [20.7K]

The ratios are Surface area ⇒ 4 : 25 Height ⇒ 2 : 5 and Volume ⇒ 8 : 125

<h3>How to determine the ratios?</h3>

The scale factor is given as:

m : n = 2 : 5

For the area, we take the square of the ratios.

i.e.

Area = 2^2 : 5^2

Evaluate

Area = 4 : 25

For the volume, we take the cube of the ratios.

i.e.

Volume = 2^3 : 5^3

Evaluate

Volume = 8 : 125

The given scale factor can be used for the height of the model and the original bicycle

Hence, the ratios are

Surface area ⇒ 4 : 25

Height ⇒ 2 : 5

Volume ⇒ 8 : 125
