So to solve for this, we need to set up proportional fractions, which I will help show you how to do.
First, if we are given an amount out of a total, we need to put it over x (if we are looking for the total). It looks like this:
12/x, 12 being the given number and x being the total.
If we are given the total but are looking for an amount, put the total at the bottom of the fraction (aka the denominator). It looks like this: x/16, 16 being the total amount and x being the amount out of the total.
We have a total of 40 test problems, so we can put our total at the bottom, x/40.
X is the amount of questions answered correctly (we are looking for x in the question).
We have answered 80% correct, so put 80% over 100 (100 being the total). It should look like this: 80/100.
Now we have our two fractions: x/40 & 80/100.
Set these up as an equation.
x/40 = 80/100.
Now this is where things may get tricky if you don't pay attention.
Multiply the numerator (the top number of a fraction) of x/40 by the denominator (the bottom number of a fraction) of 80/100.
Your product equation should look like this:
x times 100. This will give is 100x. Leave it at that.
Now, multiply the denominator of x/40 (the bottom number of the fraction) by the numerator (the top number of a fraction) of 80/100. It should look like this:
80 x 40. This will give us 3200.
Now set up our products as an equation.
100x = 3200.
To solve for x, divide both sides by 100.
3200/100 = 32.
x = 32.
I hope this helps and has taught you something!
Answer:
4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
100 ---> 96 is -4
96 ---> 104 is +8
104 ---> 88 is -16
88 ---> 120 is +32
120 ---> 56 is -64
So first we go down by 4, then up by 8, then down 16, then up 32, then finally down 64.
The pattern of numbers is: -4, +8, -16, +32, -64
Notice it's the powers of 2:
2^2 = 4
2^3 = 8
2^4 = 16
2^5 = 32
2^6 = 64
each term doubles. Also each term alternates in sign. One is positive, then the next is negative and so on.
The last difference is -64, which doubles to -128. Change the sign to positive to get +128
Add 128 to the last term of 56 to get
128+56 = 184
Therefore, the final answer is 184
Answer:
65
Step-by-step explanation:
You find the one equally in the center of the numbers after they are in order.
<span>Function
1:
Number of Weeks (x) Amount Remaining (dollars) (y)
1 30
2 24
3 18
4
12
You find the rate of weekley rate of change by calculating the difference of the amont remaing between two weeks:
24 - 30 = - 6
18 - 24 = - 6
12 - 18 = - 6
As you see the rate of change is constant: - 6 dollars per week.
The equation shows the relationship between the amount of money, y,
remaining in Ricky's account and the number of weeks, x:
Function 2: y =
–7x + 30 Which statement states and explains which function shows a
greater rate of change?
The rate of change is the slope of the linear function, and this is the coefficient of the independent variable, x. Then the rate of change is - 7 dollar per week. Now you know that the two rates are constant and that the second function shows a steeper decreasing.
