Answer:

There are 40 problems on the test

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = the number of problems on the test

The number of problems on the test times the percent correct is the number correct

p * 85% = 34

p * .85 = 34

Divide each side by .85

p * .85/.85 = 34/.85

p = 40

There are 40 problems on the test

A rectangle has a length of 20 inches. if its perimeter is 64 inches, what is the area?

zzz [600]

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf 240 \: {inches}^{2} }}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Length of a rectangle = 20 inches

Perimeter of a rectangle = 64 inches

Area of a rectangle = ?

Let width of a rectangle be ' w ' .

First, finding the width of a rectangle

$\boxed{ \sf{perimeter = 2(l + w)}}$

plug the values

⇒ $\sf{64 = 2(20 + w)}$

Distribute 2 through the parentheses

⇒ $\sf{64 = 40 + 2w}$

Swap the sides of the equation

⇒ $\sf{40 + 2w = 64}$

Move 2w to right hand side and change it's sign

⇒ $\sf{2w = 64 - 40}$

Subtract 40 from 64

⇒ $\sf{2w = 24}$

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

⇒ $\sf{ \frac{2w}{2} = \frac{24}{2} }$

Calculate

⇒ $\sf{w = 12 \: inches}$

Width of a rectangle ( w ) = 12 inches

Now, finding the area of a rectangle having length of 20 inches and width of 12 inches

$\boxed{ \sf{area \: of \: rectangle = length \: \times \: \: width}}$

plug the values

⇒ $\sf{area \: of \: rectangle =20 \times 12 }$

Multiply the numbers : 20 and 12

⇒ $\sf{area \: of \: rectangle = 240 \: {inches}^{2} }$

Hence, Area of a rectangle = 240 inches²

Hope I helped !

Best regards!

Q: A cell phone company charges $60.00 a month for up to 1 gigabyte of data. The cost of additional data is $0.05 per megabyte.

DiKsa [7]

The linear equation which can be used to determine a user's monthly

bill is c = 60 + 0.05 d ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

A cell phone company charges $60.00 a month for up to 1 gigabyte of data
The cost of additional data is $0.05 per megabyte
d represents the number of additional megabytes used
c represents the total charges at the end of the month

We need to find which equation can be used to determine a user's monthly bill

The form of the linear equation is y = mx + b, where b is the constant amount and m is the rate of change

∵ The company charges $60.00 a month for up to 1 gigabyte of data

- That means it is a constant amount each month

∴ b = 60

∵ The cost of additional data is $0.05 per megabyte

- That means it depends on the number of additional megabyte,

so it is not constant, it is the rate of change

∴ m = 0.05

∵ d represents the number of additional megabytes

∴ x = d

∵ c represents the total charges at the end of the month

∴ y = c

Substitute y by c, m by 0.05, x by d and b by 60 in the form of the linear equation above

∴ c = 0.05 d + 60

- We can rearrange the terms of the right hand side

∴ c = 60 + 0.05 d

The linear equation which can be used to determine a user's monthly

bill is c = 60 + 0.05 d

Yoko runs 7 miles in 50 minutes at the same rate how many miles would she run in 75 minutes

Vsevolod [243]

Answer: 10.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation: If she runs 7 miles for 50 minutes, if you half it, she runs 3.5 miles in 25 minutes. This means if you add 7 and 3.5 miles, you would add 50 and 25 minutes,

So 10.5 miles in 75 minutes in your answer

Which line is parallel to 8x+2y=12

Nat2105 [25]

x=3/2-1/4

8x+2y=12

move the variable to the right side and change the sign.

8x=12-2y

divide both sides of the equation by 8

x=3/2-1/4y

the final solution is

x=3/2-1/4y
