Thaddeus shakes his head as he pays $12.37 to the clerk for lunch. Complaining to a friend, Thaddeus says, “Do you realize that

is 0.2% of my monthly income?” His friend replies, “I think you made a mistake. That should be 2%. You messed up on the decimal point.” (a) Assuming Thaddeus is not wrong, what is his monthly income? (b) If Thaddeus’ friend is correct, what is Thaddeus’ monthly income?

Pretty simple question, just set up the equation.
A) say Thad is right then equation is as follows:
X * 0.002 = 12.37
Where X is monthly income.
So to solve for X just divide 12.37 by 0.002 (0.2%)
6185$ per month. Which no offense to Thad, but means he’s probably some kind of software engineer or investment banker if he’s making that much a month. (Unlikely for Thad)

B) if he’s wrong then just set up again
X * 0.02 = 12.37
Where x = monthly income
So x= $618.5
More likely given he’s complaining about a 12$ lunch when inflation has the yelp one ($) sign restaurants charging 15 or 16 just for a meal with tip and tax.
Anyways my rant aside hope this helps.

Z is centroid of triangle RST. What is RW, if RV=4x+3, WS=5x-1, and VT=2x+9?
vaieri [72.5K]
Given that Z is the centroid of a triangle RST. This means that Z is the point of intersection of the three medians of the triangle.

So,W is the midpoint of RSV is the midpoint of RTWe are given that:RV = 4x + 3 and VT = 2x + 9

Since V is the midpoint, then:RV = VT4x + 3 = 2x + 94x - 2x = 9 - 32x = 6x = 3

Now put the value of x in WS = 5x-1WS = 5x-1WS = 5(3) - 1 WS = 15 - 1 = 14WS = 14

Since W is the midpoint of RS, therefore RW = WSand WS = 14Therefore:
RW = 14

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Depth below sea level is the independent quantity,

Water pressure is the dependent quantity

Step-by-step explanation:

An independent quantity is a variable that can be changed in an experiment. While, dependent quantity results from the independent quantity or we can say, that depends upon the independent quantity.

Here,

The water pressure increases 0.44 pounds per square inch (0.44 psi) with each increase of one foot in depth below sea level,

So, for measuring the water pressure we took depth below sea level as a variable,

⇒ Depth below sea level is the independent quantity,

While, with increasing depth by 1 foot the pressure is also increase by 0.44 pounds per square inches ⇒ pressure depends upon the depth

⇒ Water pressure is the dependent quantity.
