When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89

Answer:
11/4 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
We can see from the given equation that the height at the diving board is h = 3.
This is because the h(t) equation has that +3 at the end, which denotes the initial height of the diver, the height when he is standing on the board before jumping.
To find where h(t) = 3 is true, we need to set h(t) equal to 3 and solve for t.
h(t) = 3
h(t) = -4t^2 + 11t + 3 = 3
-4t^2 + 11t + 3 - 3 = 0
-4t^2 + 11t = 0
t*(-4t + 11) = 0
so h(t) = 3 when t = 0 and when t = 11/4 sec
we already know that at t = 0 the height is 3, it is the initial height given from the equation, so we want to use the other solution for t.
the diver is back at the height of the diving board at t = 11/4 sec
Perimeter is the surrounding of a shape area is the space inside a shape
Answer:
She is doing a mistake of calculating interest after 9 months in place of after 12 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
Samantha deposit $300 in an account that earns an annual interest rate of 2.5%.
Now, Samantha after nine months of deposit computes the simple interest.
She is doing a mistake of calculating interest after 9 months in place of after 12 months.
The calculation of interest should be on a yearly basis (i.e. 12 months) as the interest rate is 2.5% per year. (Answer)
