Answer:

8

Those little "sticks" are called absolute value.

For example, the absolute value of 2 is 2, and the absolute value of −2 is also 2. The absolute value of a number may be thought of as its distance from zero along real number line.

Thus, it doesn't matter if the number is positive or negative. As it only counts its <u>d</u><u>i</u><u>s</u><u>t</u><u>a</u><u>n</u><u>c</u><u>e</u><u> </u><u>f</u><u>r</u><u>o</u><u>m</u><u> </u><u>0</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u> </u><u>t</u><u>h</u><u>e</u><u> </u><u>n</u><u>u</u><u>m</u><u>b</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>l</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>e</u><u>.</u>

400 people were surveyed about their eye color. 8% of the people surveyed have green eyes. how many people had green eyes​
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem above can be solved by using the <em>multiplication operation</em>.

Given: 400 people

           8% of the people with green eyes

Let's solve:

Let x be<em><u> the number of people with green eyes.</u></em>

x = 400 x 8%

x = 400 x (0.08)

x = 32

So, the number of people surveyed with green eyes is 32. The rest of the surveyed people (368) have a different eye color.

Countering a cost $9.40 per sales tax. After sales tax, it cost $9.87. What is the sales tax rate?
Nady [450]
STEP 1:
find the sales tax (decimal form)

x= sales tax

Cost + (Cost * Sales Tax)= Total
plug in known numbers

$9.40 + ($9.40 * x)= $9.87

9.40 + 9.40x= 9.87
subtract 9.40 from both sides

9.40x= 0.47
divide both sides by 9.40

x= 0.47/9.40

x= 0.05 sales tax decimal form


STEP 2:
find sales tax percentage

= 0.05 * 100
or move decimal to the right two decimal places

= 5% sales tax percent form


ANSWER: The sales tax is 5% (or 0.05 in decimal form)

Hope this helps! :)

What is the measure for the following ∠?<br> m∠BOA<br><br> 20<br> 40<br> 60
kaheart [24]

Hello!

First, find angle BOA on the protractor. To do this, look for point B, point O, and point A.

Now, we see some markings that mark what degree point B and point A are at. Point B is marked at 60 degrees, and Point A 40 degrees.

Now, all that's left to do, is subtract the two measurements.

60 degrees - 40 degrees = 20 degrees

Therefore, your answer is 20.

Hope this helps!
