Answer:

£16

the t-shirt increased by 0.25. let's convert that to percentage

therefore it increased by 25%

By using cross multiplication we can write as follows:

125%=£20

100%=£ x

(100×20)/125= £16

Why is it important to rename 4 1/4 if you subtract 3/4 from it

zavuch27 [327]

Because 3 2/4 would be the answer when you subtract it and most teachers and/or tests want you to simplify the answer which would be 1/2 because you would divide the numerator and denominator by 2.

Allison is offered an annual salary of $24,500. What would be her biweekly gross pay? (Round to the nearest cent.) A. $2,041.67

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Allison biweekly gross pay is $942.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Given annual salary offered to Allison = $24,500.

We have to calculate Allison biweekly pay that is pay Allison got for 2 weeks

To calculate biweekly we first find Allison weekly pay then multiply it by 2.

We know there are 52 weeks in a year.

So, weekly salary offered to Allison $=\frac{24500}{52}=471.15$ (approx)

Biweekly salary will be = 2 × weekly salary

= 2 × 471.15

= 942.307(approx)

Thus, Allison biweekly gross pay is $942.31

Im dying bro help The vertices of a quadrilateral are (2, 3), (3, 8), (7, 5), and (6, 2). Draw the quadrilateral in the coordina

Solnce55 [7]

Okay to the first number in the ordered pair is the x and the second is the y. So (x,y) when you put a dot on the coordinate plane such as (2,3), you have to go the the horizontal line which is x and go over right 2 spaces(depending on how many numbers is one space) then go up 3. Do that same thing for each of the order pairs. Eventually you will have 4 dots. Connect those dots then you will have the quadrilateral. I hope this helps you!
