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.

The quotient is 71 2/3 what is the divisor
Genrish500 [490]
The divisor is 3.
It is 3 because to make the whole number and the remainder a mixed number you take the whole number then for the numerator you write what is left over(remainder) and for the denominator you will write the divisor. In this case the denominator is 3 so the divisor is 3.

Hope I helped ! :D

Solve For X<br> (see picture below) <br><br> thank you!
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a tangent and a secant from an external point to the circle, then

The square of the tangent is equal to the product of the external part and the entire secant, that is

x² = 6(6 + 18) = 6 × 24 = 144 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{144} = 12

Which value is a solution of the equation 2 - 8x = -6?<br> A. 1<br> B. 1/2<br> C. -1<br> D. 8
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

A.) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First change the equation to 2 + ( - 8x ) = -6 so it’s easier to read

Take away 2 from both sides

So now you have -8x = -8

Divide both sides by -8 so you get positive x and 1

x = 1

-4 1/2 divided by - 2 2/3 as a mixed number
podryga [215]

Answer:

Exact Answer is 27/16

Decimal form: 1.6875

Mixed fraction 1 11/16    I assume that's what you need.

Step-by-step explanation:

27/16

Divide 27 by 16:

1 | 6 | 2 | 7

16 goes into 27 at most one time:

| | | 1

1 | 6 | 2 | 7

| - | 1 | 6

| | 1 | 1

Read off the results. The quotient is the number at the top and the remainder is the number at the bottom:

| | | 1 | (quotient)

1 | 6 | 2 | 7 |  

| - | 1 | 6 |  

| | 1 | 1 | (remainder)

The quotient of 27/16 is 1 with remainder 11, so:

Answer:  1 11/16
