Answer:

6.8% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

a drop of 8% means that only 92% of 125 boys remained on honor roll from last year; .92 x 125 = 115

a drop of 5% means that only 95% of 80 girls remained on honor roll from last year; .95 x 80 = 76

total number of students on honor roll last year = 125 + 80 = 205

total number of students on honor roll this year = 115 + 76 = 191

percent of change = (191 - 205) ÷ 205 = -14/205 = -.068

-.068, which represents a 6.8% decrease

Use the information in the figure. If F=116, find E<br><br> 58<br> 32<br> 116<br> 64
My name is Ann [436]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

  • m∠F = 116°

We have to find the value of m∠E.

Here, two sides are equal, thus it is an isosceles triangle. As the two sides are equal, so their angles must be equal. So, ∠E and ∠D will be equal. Let us assume the measures of both ∠E and ∠D as x.

→ Sum of all the interior angles of ∆ = 180°

→ ∠E + ∠D + ∠F = 180°

→ 116° + x + x = 180°

→ 2x = 180° – 116°

→ 2x = 64°

→ x = 64° ÷ 2

→<u> x = 32°</u>

Henceforth,

→ m∠E = x

→ m∠E = 32°

Cameroon was paid $173.70 for working 18 hours. how much money does he make per hour?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Since you are looking for the dollar per hour, can just set the equation up as dollar divided by hour (dollar/hour). You take how much was made ($173.70) and divide it by the hours worked (18 hours).

$173.70/18 = x (x representing how much he makes an hour).

$173.70/18 = $9.65.

Cameroon makes $9.65 an hour.
