The answer is 14%
Cost of meal is 100%: $18.50 is 100%
Tip is x%: $2.59 is x
Make a proportion:
$18.50 : 100% = $2.59 : x
x = 100% * $2.59 : $18.50
x = 14%
Answer:
..............
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
9.4
Step-by-step explanation:
The net income for theis company is $216,060
The average total assets is 2,290,000
Therefore the return on total assets is
= 216,060/2,290,000
= 0.0943×100
=9.4
Answer:
3(x-1)(x+8)
Step-by-step explanation:
3x2+21x−24
3x2+21x−24
=3(x−1)(x+8)
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
You can try the answers to see which works. (The first one does.)
Or, you can solve for the variable:
Divide by 75
... (1/5)^(x/5) = 3/75 = 1/25
Recognize that 25 = 5^2, so ...
... (1/5)^(x/5) = (1/5)^2
Equating exponents, you have
... x/5 = 2
... x = 10 . . . . . multiply by 5
_____
You can also start by taking logarithms:
... log(75) +(x/5)log(1/5) = log(3)
... (x/5)log(1/5) = log(3) -log(75) = log(3/75) = log(1/25) . . . . simplify the log
... x/5 = log(1/25)/log(1/5) = 2 . . . . . simplify (or evaluate) the log expression
... x = 10 . . . . . multiply by 5
_____
"Equating exponents" is essentially the same as taking logarithms.
