<h3>Answer:   $2400</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

x = Mason's salary in dollars for that month

x/6 = one-sixth of his salary

x/6+800 = total amount spent (the x/6 dollars and $800 combined)

In total, he spent half his salary. This means he spent x/2 dollars for the month overall.

Set the two items equal to one another. Solve for x.

x/6 + 800 = x/2

6(x/6 + 800) = 6*(x/2) ... see note at the bottom of the page

x+4800 = 3x

4800 = 3x-x

4800 = 2x

2x = 4800

x = 4800/2

x = 2400

His monthly salary is $2400

1/6 of this is (1/6)*2400 = 2400/6 = 400 dollars. Add on the $800 he also spent to get a total of 400+800 = 1200 dollars spent, which is exactly one half of the $2400. The answer is confirmed.

-------

Note: I multiplied both sides by 6 to clear out the fractions. The value 6 is the LCD in this case.

if 368 teenagers in a population of 4,310 report that they have smoked at least one cigarette during the past year, to one decim
allochka39001 [22]
Divide the amount of teenagers that smoked by the total population:

368 \div 4310 = 0.0853

Multiply this decimal by 100 to convert into a percentage:

0.0853 \times 100 = 8.53

To round to the nearest decimal place, look at the hundredths value:

8.53
3 > 5
8.53 -> 8.5

8.5% of teenagers reported that they smoked at least one cigarette.

Triangle P=27,Q=40,P=33 law of sines round measures to the nearest tenth
nordsb [41]
For the law of sines, you would apply it in this particular problem like so:
Since P is 27, its angle is 33 and Q's length is 40; you would set it up like this
<u />40/SinQ = 27/Sin33, multiply 40 with Sin33, then it would be 40Sin33, then divide it by 27. The result should be 40Sin33/27 = X
