Answer:

16%  is the percent of increase to the nearest​ whole-number percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the cost of a pound of nails increased from ​$2.17 to ​$2.52.

  • $2.52 - $2.17 = $0.35

so dividing the 0.35 by 2.17 would give us the percetange of increase

  • 0.35/2.17 = 0.16 which is 16%.

Therefore, 16%  is the percent of increase to the nearest​ whole-number percent.

Tisha and her academic team are working to go to state finals. They must have a certain number of points to advance. They have h
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

b=\frac{T-a-c-d}{3}

b = (T - a - c - d) / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T be the total number of points required to advance.

a, c and d are points scored in the local matches, and b is the number of points scored in the district match. If b is worth 3 times as much as the other matches, the total number of points is given by:

T=a+c+d+3b

Isolate b in order to find out how many points they need in the district match:

T=a+c+d+3b\\3b=T-a-c-d\\b=\frac{T-a-c-d}{3}

They need to score (T - a - c - d)/3, in the district match in order to win.

Please help me out with this so I can keep my kitten.
notka56 [123]

Answer:

y = \frac{32}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, move over the negative 3/4 fraction (don't forget to swap the operation i.e subtract to add):

\frac{y}{8} = \frac{7}{12}  + \frac{3}{4}

Now, to add the two fractions, simply multiply the numerator and denominator by 3:

\frac{3*3}{4*3} = \frac{9}{12}

Now add this to the other fraction:

\frac{9}{12} + \frac{7}{12} = \frac{16}{12}

This can be simplified down by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4:

\frac{4}{3}

Which now simplifies the original equation to:

\frac{y}{8}  = \frac{4}{3}

Remove the y out of the fraction:

\frac{1}{8}y = \frac{4}{3}

Now multiply both sides by 8:

(\frac{1}{8}y) * 8 = (\frac{4}{3}) * 8

y = \frac{4*8}{3}

y = \frac{32}{3}

Hope this helps!

Solve the equation 2<br> 16x + 20 = 0 to the nearest tenth.
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

x ≈ - 1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

16x + 20 = 0

16x + 20 - 20 = 0 - 20

16x = - 20

16x ÷ 16 = - 20 ÷ 16

x = - 1.25

x=-1\frac{1}{4}

- 1.25 rounds to - 1.3
