Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a percent proportion:

12/x = 48/100

To solve for x, we would do:

x = (12*100)/48 = 1200/48 = 25

x = 25%

In my opinion, the easiest way to do this would be to look at this and notice that 12 * 4 =48 so that means 12 is 1/4 of 48 and 1/4 = 25%.

Let me know if you have any questions.

A person can pay 18$ for a membership at a museum and then go for just 1$ per visit. What is the maximum number of visits a memb

Studentka2010 [4]

<h3>Answer: 32</h3>

==================================================

Work Shown:

Let

x = number of visits

y = total cost in dollars

The membership costs $18 no matter how many visits you do. If you make x visits, at $1 each, then it costs an additional 1*x = 1x = x dollars. This is added on top of the base membership fee. In total, we know that y = 18+x = x+18

We want the total y to be at most $50. Therefore $y \le 50$ . The highest y can get is 50.

Let's replace y with x+18 and isolate x

$y \le 50$

$x+18 \le 50$ y is replaced with x+18

$x+18-18 \le 50-18$ subtract 18 from both sides

$x \le 32$

This tells us that we can make at most 32 visits. In other words, the maximum number of visits is 32.

Here is a diagram and its corresponding equation. Find the solution to the equation and explain your reasoning 38 x+7 x+7 x+7 x+

QveST [7]

Answer:

x = (-158)/87

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7×4 (x + 7) = 38

Hint: | Multiply 7 and 4 together.

7×4 = 28:

38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x + 28 (x + 7) = 38

Hint: | Group like terms in 38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x + 28 (x + 7).

Grouping like terms, 38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x + 28 (x + 7) = 28 (x + 7) + (38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x):

28 (x + 7) + (38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x) = 38

Hint: | Add like terms in 38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x.

38 x + 7 x + 7 x + 7 x = 59 x:

28 (x + 7) + 59 x = 38

Hint: | Distribute 28 over x + 7.

28 (x + 7) = 28 x + 196:

28 x + 196 + 59 x = 38

Hint: | Add like terms in 59 x + 28 x + 196.

28 x + 59 x = 87 x:

87 x + 196 = 38

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 196 from both sides:

87 x + (196 - 196) = 38 - 196

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

196 - 196 = 0:

87 x = 38 - 196

Hint: | Evaluate 38 - 196.

38 - 196 = -158:

87 x = -158

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of 87 x = -158 by 87:

(87 x)/87 = (-158)/87

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

87/87 = 1:

Answer: x = (-158)/87

Mateo teaches a continuing education class at the library on tuesday nights. he estimates that 75% of his students are satisfied

vredina [299]

The computed value must closely match the real value for a model to be considered valid. If the percentage of pleased or very satisfied students remains close to 75% after Mateo surveys additional students, Mateo's model is still viable. The model is faulty if the opposite is true.

<h3>How will mateo know whether his model is valid or not?</h3>

In general, a valid model is one whose estimated value is close to the real value. This kind of model is considered to be accurate. It must be somewhat near to the real value if it doesn't resemble the real value.

If the findings of the survey are sufficiently similar to one another, then the model may be considered valid.

P1 equals 75%, which is the real assessment of the number of happy pupils

P2 is 70 percent; this represents the second assessment of happy pupils

In conclusion, The estimated value of a model has to be somewhat close to the real value for the model to be considered valid. If the number of students who are either pleased or extremely satisfied remains close to 75 percent following Mateo's survey of more students, then Mateo's model is likely accurate. In any other scenario, the model cannot be trusted.
