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?

a)

his income must be "x" which is the 100%, and we would know that 0.2% of that is 12.37.

\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x&100\\ 12.37&0.2 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{12.37}=\cfrac{100}{0.2}\implies 0.2x=1237 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{1237}{0.2}\implies x=61.85

b)

his income must be "x" which is the 100%, and we would know that 2% of that is 12.37.

\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x&100\\ 12.37&2 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{12.37}=\cfrac{100}{2}\implies 2x=1237 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{1237}{2}\implies x=618.5

btw he's not making much either way.

A triangle contains angles mesuring 28 degrees and 37 degrees. How many degrees is the third angle?​
Orlov [11]

Answer:

  • 115°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>We know that:</u>

  • Angles ∠A and ∠B are 28° and 37°.

<u>We don't know:</u>

  • Angle ∠C's angle

<u>So, we do this:</u>

  • Add the 180°
  • Solve the equation 180 - 28 - 37

<u>Solve:</u>

  • 180 - 28
  • = 152 - 37
  • = 115.

Angle ∠C is 115°.

Maggie was doing research for her Ph.D. in physics when a 12 mg sample of radioactive material decayed to 3 mg in 26 minutes. De
netineya [11]

The general way to work this out is to solve the general expression for
the remaining quantity versus half-life, using logarithms.  But that's not
necessary with these numbers.

Look at the numbers:

-- 3 mg is  1/4  of  12 mg.

-- 1/4  is the product of  (1/2) x (1/2).

-- So the  3 mg is what's left of  12 mg after  2  half-lives.
The  26  minutes must be two half-lives.

-- The half-life of that substance is  26/2 = <em>13 minutes</em>.

Go Maggie !
