Answer:

$108

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we have the proportion:

Company A/Company B

= $9/$2 = x/x24

The next step is : We Cross Multiply

2x = $24 × $9

x = $24 × $9/2

x = $108

Therefore, she will invest in $108 company A if she invests $24 in company B.

An artist is creating a sculpture where a globe with a diameter of 48 inches sits in a cone like a scoop of ice cream. She wants
brilliants [131]

Answer:

115.2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

What we must do is calculate the ratio between the real version and the version to be imitated, in this case the ice cream cone.

To calculate the ratio, we will do it through the diameter:

48 / 2.5 = 19.2

So the ratio is 19.2: 1

Which means that one inch of the ice cream cone represents 19.2 inches in the real version.

Therefore, in the case of height it would be:

6 * 19.2 = 115.2

Therefore, the height should be 115.2 inches.

Give EG = 5x+7 EF =5x and FG=2x-7
Len [333]

Answer:

x = 7

42, 35, 7

Step-by-step explanation:

  • EG = 5x+7
  • EF = 5x  
  • FG = 2x-7

Point F is on line segment of EG, therefore EG = EF + FG

  • 5x + 7 = 5x + 2x - 7
  • 2x = 14
  • x = 7

Then

  • EG = 5*7 + 7 = 42
  • EF = 5*7 = 35
  • FG = 2*7 - 7 = 7

In order to clear out room for new merchandise, James decided to mark down some of the items for sale in his electronics store.
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

a) Which item’s price was reduced by more, and by how many dollars more was it reduced?

The DVD player's price was reduced more by $3.82 than the stereo tuner's price.

b) Round all dollar values to the nearest cent.

Rounding $3.82 dollars to the nearest cents

$1 = 100 cents

$3.82 =

3.82 × 100 cents

= 382 cents

The DVD player's price was reduced by 382 cents more than the stereo tuner's price

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets day the original price of the DVD player was $100

We are told the price was marked down to 36%

36% of $100 = $36

$100 - $36 = $64

We are told the DVD cost $41.60 after the markdown.

Original cost of DVD =

$41.60/$64 × 100 = $65

Lets the original price of the Stereo player was $100

We are told the price was marked down to 22%

22% of $100 = $22

$100 - $22 = $78

We are told the DVD cost $69.42 after the markdown.

Original cost of Stereo =

$69.42/$78 × 100 = $89

DVD = $65 - $41.60 = $23.40 less 

Stereo = $89 - 69.42 = $19.58 less

Difference between the DVD and the Stereo is

$23.40 - $19.58 = $3.82

Therefore,the DVD player's price was reduced by $3.82 more than the stereo tuner's price

Rounding $3.82 dollars to the nearest cents

$1 = 100 cents

$3.82 =

3.82 × 100 cents

= 382 cents
