"a rise of a quarter from last year" means the percentage went up by 25%
x = old value
x + 25% of x = x + 0.25x = 1.25x = new value = 0.25 since "1 in 4" means 1/4 = 0.25
So,
1.25x = 0.25
x = 0.25/1.25
x = 0.2
x = 2/10
x = 1/5
Answer: The fraction of families that owed money is 1/5, or 1 in 5.
Answer:
r = -29/20 or r = -1.45
Step-by-step explanation:
I believe you are saying that the equation is -2 1/4 = r - 4/5. If so, then I would solve it in this way:
-2 1/4 = r - 4/5
-9/4 = r - 4/5
-9/4 (20) = r (20) - 4/5 (20)
-45 = 20r - 16
20r = -29
r = -29/20
r = -1.45
Check:
-2 1/4 = r - 4/5
-9/4 = r - 4/5
-2.25 = r - 0.8
-2.25 = -1.45 - 0.8
-2.25 = -2.25
-9/4 = -9/4
Answer:
3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Coefficient of variation is calculated by dividing the standard deviation by the mean multiplied by 100. Given a data set with mean equal to 60 and variance equal to 9, we can calculate the coefficient of variation by finding the value of the standard deviation which is the square root of the variance. so standard deviation is equal to square root of 9 which is 3. Then, the coefficient of variation is equal to 3/60*100 which is equal to 5%.
Answer:
20%
Step-by-step explanation:
2.5 min =(60×2.5)sec=150 sec
30sec to 150sec=30×100/150=20%
