A) 65%
b) 68

26:40 as x:100
26/40 = x/100
Cross multiply
2600 = 40x
x = 65
———————
85% of 80
0.85 is the decimal equivalent of 85%
80 x 0.85 = 68

15 – 0.5(4x – 2) + 4x = 17
loris [4]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5}

Step-by-step explanation:

15-0.5(4x-2)+4x=17\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\15+(-0.5)(4x)+(-0.5)(-2)+4x=17\\\\15-2x+1+4x=17\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\(-2x+4x)+(15+1)=17\\\\2x+16=17\qquad\text{subtract 16 from both sides}\\\\2x+16-16=17-16\\\\2x=1\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2x}{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\x=\dfrac{1}{2}

Which is better: Car A that travels 308 miles on 11 gallons of gasoline OR Car B that travels 406 miles on 14 gallons of gasolin
Jet001 [13]
\begin{gathered} \text{Car A travels 308 miles on 11 gallons, so, the ratio of miles per galon is} \\ \frac{308}{11}=28\text{ miles per gallon} \\  \\ \text{for the car B, the ratio is} \\ \frac{406}{14}=29\text{ miles per gallon} \end{gathered}

thus, the best car is car B,because it can tavel 29 miles with only one gallon,andcar A can only travel 28 miles with one gallon.

-5+2(10b-2)=31 need help thanks!
Contact [7]

Answer:

\Large \boxed{b=2}

Step-by-step explanation:

-5+2(10b-2)=31

Expand brackets.

-5+20b-4=31

-9+20b=31

Add 9 on both sides.

20b=40

Divide both sides by 20

b=2

Determine if this relationship forms a direct variation. Verify your answer.
leva [86]

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

so


we have

a) for x=1 y=0.50--------> y/x=0.50/1------> 0.50

b) for x=2 y=1--------> y/x=1/2-------> 0.50

c) for x=3 y=1.50--------> y/x=1.50/3-----> 0.50

d) for x=5 y=2.50--------> y/x=2.50/5----> 0.50

the value of k is equal to 0.50

so

<span>the relationship forms a direct variation. </span>

the equation is

y=0.50*x


Verify

for x=1

y=0.50*(1)------> y=0.50-----> is correct


for x=2

y=0.50*(2)------> y=1.00-----> is correct


for x=3

y=0.50*(3)------> y=1.50-----> is correct


for x=5

y=0.50*(5)------> y=2.50-----> is correct
