Hi, I'm happy to help!

First off, we need to arrange an equation for what is being asked. 15 is 20% of her earnings and we don't know her total earnings.

15=20%×__

We can write this percentage as

15=0.2×__

We then change the equation to do the inverse operation, which is division, this makes it easier to solve.

15÷0.2=__

Now, we solve

15÷0.2=75

She earned $75

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D

Answer:

$ 800

Step-by-step explanation:

Parking slot is in the shape of parallelogram.

base = 3 m

Height = 6 2/3 m

Area = base * height

$= 3 * 6\frac{2}{3}\\\\= 3*\frac{20}{3}\\\\= 20 sq.m$

Cost of paving the parking spot = 20 * 40

= $ 800

Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point (−3,6) and has a slope of 5.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form is y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where m = the slope of the line and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

Here m = 5, x1 = -3 and y1 = 6.

So we have:

y - 6 = 5( x - (-3))

y - 6 = 5(x + 3) (Answer)

The formula below gives the sum of the degrees, S, of the interior angles of a polygon. If n represents the number of sides, whi

Helga [31]

Answer:

The equation representing the value of n is, $n=\frac{S}{180^{\text{o}}}+2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to compute the sum of the degrees, S, of the interior angles of a polygon is:

$S=(n-2)\times 180^{\text{o}}$

Compute the equation of n as follows:

$S=(n-2)\times 180^{\text{o}}$

$\frac{S}{180^{\text{o}}}=(n-2)$

$n=\frac{S}{180^{\text{o}}}+2$

Thus, the equation representing the value of n is, $n=\frac{S}{180^{\text{o}}}+2$ .
