Answer:

Tom is incorrect

The cost of using the air pump has increased by 150%

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom is incorrect

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

⇒ [ (50 - 20) ÷ 20) × 100 = 150%

Therefore, the cost of using the air pump has increased by 150%

Two numbers are randomly selected from integers 1 through 9. What is the probability that only one of the integers is odd given

Katena32 [7]

If they're both odd OR both even, then their sum is even.

So if their sum is odd, then one is odd and the other is even.

The probability is ' 1 ' (100%) .

El Generico public high school got a new flagpole. But they completely forgot to buy a cord and NO ONE knows how tall the flagpo

lord [1]

According to the rule of similar polygons the ratio of corresponding sides of two polygons will be the same. So in this case the ratio of original length and shadow of a stick and ratio of length of flagpole and its shadow will be the same.

Length of Stick = 5 feet
Shadow of Stick = 8 feet
Shadow of flagpole = 32 feet
Length of flagpole = x = ?

Using rule of similar polygon we can write,

$\frac{5}{8}= \frac{x}{32} \\ \\ \frac{5}{8}*32=x \\ \\ x=20$

Therefore, the length of flagpole will be 20 feet.
