Answer:

profit = 129.63% (to the nearest hundredth) as a percent of the price the store paid for the book

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the percentage change formula:

percent change = [ (difference between the initial value and the final value) ÷ initial value] x 100

= [ (6.20 - 2.70) ÷ 2.70 ] x 100

= [ 3.5 ÷ 2.70 ] x 100

= 37/27  x 100

= 129.6296296...

= 129.63% (to the nearest hundredth)

Ab=45 mm,bc=10cm 4mm ,cd = 5 cm 6 mm ,de= 35 mm,ea=x cm, and the perimeter of irregular pentagon is 280 mm. Find the length of t
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The length of the unknown side x is 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of a polygon is equal to the sum of its length sides

Remember that

1 cm=10 mm

In this problem we have

AB=45 mm ------> convert to cm -----> AB=45/10=4.5 cm

BC=10 cm 4 mm -----> convert to cm -----> BC=10+4/10=10.4 cm

CD=5 cm 6 mm  -----> convert to cm -----> CD=5+6/10=5.6 cm

DE=35 mm ------> convert to cm -----> DE=35/10=3.5 cm

EA=x cm

P=280 mm ------> convert to cm -----> P=280/10=28 cm

The perimeter of the irregular polygon is equal to

P=AB+BC+CD+DE+EA

substitute the values

28=4.5+10.4+5.6+3.5+x

28=24+x

x=28-24

x=4 cm

A jar contains 30 red, 30 blue, and 60
kiruha [24]

The probability of picking red button is \frac{1}{4}

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, A jar contains 30 red, 30 blue, and 60 white buttons.  

You pick one button at a random choice,  

We have to find the probability that it is red button.

Now, total number of buttons = 30 + 30 + 60 = 120 buttons.

Number of favourable cases for red button = 30 red buttons.

The probability of an event is given as:

\text { probability of a event }=\frac{\text { favourable ways to pick red }}{\text { total possiblities }}

=\frac{30}{120}=\frac{1}{4}

Thus the probability that it is red is \frac{1}{4}

Factor the trinomial x^2 - 2x - 8
ValentinkaMS [17]
Well what two numbers multiply to get -8 and add to get -2?
Well, to get -8, we either have (-1,8),(-2,4),(-4,2),(-8,1)
8-1=7
-2+4=2
2-4=-2
1-8=-7
Thus it should be (-4,2),
This means we should get (X-4)(X+2)

What does x equal in this equation: 24+3x=3x+3(7-1) Please help this is due tomorrow!
Zinaida [17]

                                              24 + 3x = 3x + 3(7 - 1)

Eliminate the parentheses:    24 + 3x = 3x + 3(6)

                                              24 + 3x = 3x + 18

Subtract  3x  from each side:       <em>24  =  18</em>

Look at that for a second.  Can ANY value of 'x' make 24 equal to 18 ?
I don't think so.
There's NO number that makes the equation a true statement.

That's just another way to say: "The equation has NO solution."
