Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x + 12)° + (6x - 8)° = 180°
(5x + 12 + 6x - 8)° = 180°
(11x + 4)° = 180°
11x + 4 = 180
11x = 180- 4
11x = 176
x = 176/11
x = 16
Her horizontal distance to the rim satisfies the ratio
(10 ft -6 ft)/distance = tan(25°)
so the distance is
distance = (4 ft)/tan(25°) ≈ 9 ft
D. It Is The Most Fitting Answer. The Other 3 Equal More Than Needed.
Answer:
Explanation:
You can convert the percent markup into a multiplicative factor in this way:
Base price: 15,800 . . . (cost to the seller)
Percent mark up: 115% . . . (based on the cost to the seller)
Sale price: 15,800 + 115% of x = 15,800 + 115 × 15,800 /100 =
= 15,800 + 1.15 × 15,800 = 15,800 (2.15) = 33,970
The markup is:
- Markup = price paid by the seller - cost to the seller = 33,970 - 15,800 = 18,170 (notice that this is 115% of 15,800)
And <em>the percent markup based on the sale price is</em>:
- % = (markup / sale price) × 100 = (18,700 / 33,970) × 100 =
= 53.49 %
Rounding to the nearest tenth percent that is 53.5 %.
