Write an explanation to help your friend understand why the expression 0.45x represents decreasing x by 55%.

Need the answer please and thank you!

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A variable is a letter that is used to represent a number. For instance, in this problem the variable x represents an unknown number that will equal 5 when added to 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.

Required percentage value = a

total value = b

Percentage = a/b x 100

x - (55/100)x = 0.45x

The decreasing x by 55% is 0.45x

What is a percentage?

The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.

Example:

Required percentage value = a

total value = b

Percentage = a/b x 100

Example:

50% = 50/100 = 1/2

25% = 25/100 = 1/4

20% = 20/100 = 1/5

10% = 10/100 = 1/10

We have,

Decreasing x by 55%.

This can be written as,

= x - (55/100)x

= x - 0.55x

= 0.45x

Thus,

The decreasing x by 55% is 0.45x

Step-by-step explanation: Identity the variable range .

Determine the scale of the graph.

Number and label each axis and title of the graph.

Show the positive and negative x-axis and y-axis

First , find the value of x on the x-axis . give x = 11 .

Find the value  of y on the y-axis . given y = 7.

Mark the point x=11 in the positive x - axis

Mark the point y=7 in the positive y - axis,.

After this meet the points by the help of scale and write the co-ordinates.

https://brainly.in/question/10164601

When you're asked to plot a point on a coordinate plane just remember that the coordinate given is of the form .

So, first, we need to plot 11 on the -axis (the line going left to right, horizontal) then plot 7 on the -axis (the vertical line)

So we first go 11 units to the right along the -axis then go up 7 units along the -axis.

10) Bernice recived the followine scores
on 5 Science test : 96, 7, 82, 96
and 89. Which of the following statements
is true
a) The mean and median of the set of
Scores are the same t to sonho
b) The mode of the set score is 96
of The median of the set score is 82
do the mean of the set is greater
than the median

Answers

The mode of the set score is 96

The correct answer is b) The mode of the set score is 96.

What is mean, median and mode?

The "mean" is the "average" of the set of values.

The "median" is the "middle" value in the list of numbers.

The "mode" is the value that occurs most often.

Now the given scores on 5 Science test are,

96, 7, 82, 96 and 89

So, Sum of all the scores = 96+7+82+96+89= 370

Mean :

Mean = Sum of all the scores / Number of tests

Mean = 370 / 5

Mean = 74

Median :

Median is the middle value after rearrangement

So, rearranging the scores we get,

7, 82,) 89,( 96, 96

Hence the median of the scores is 89

Mode :

Mode is the number occurring the most. Since 96 occurs the most, hence the mode is 96.

Thus, from the given option, the correct option is b) The mode of the set score is 96

Hence, the correct answer is b) The mode of the set score is 96.

The ratio of men to women working for a company is 5 to 7. If there are 196 women working for the company, what is the total number of employees?
employees

Answers

Answer:

336 employees

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're given:

Ratio of men to women ⇒ 5:7

Number of women in the company ⇒ 196

1) Solve for the number of men in the company

Set up a proportion

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{5}{7} = \frac{x}{196}[/tex] where x is the number of men working at the company

Multiply both sides by x

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{5}{7} *196= x\\\\x=140[/tex]

Therefore, there are 140 men working at the company.

Now, we know that there are 140 men and 196 women working at the company. Assuming that they are the only people who work there, the total number of employees is 140 + 196 = 336.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

336 total employees

Step-by-step explanation:

divide women by their respective ratio to get unit multiplier

196÷7=28

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  b. $28.37

Step-by-step explanation:

In the cost function, x is the number of units. The derivative of the cost function with respect to x will tell the incremental cost of producing one more unit. That derivative is a constant, $28.37 per unit, so the cost of producing one more unit is $28.37 at any production level.

find the inverse of the function F(x)=x-3​

Answers

Answer:

f¹(x) = x - 3

To find the inverse of a function, just "trade" and y and solve for the "new" y. The graph of the inverse is the reflection of the original function over the line y = x.

Rewrite the function f(x) = x + 3

as the equation y = x + 3

Trade x and y.

x = y + 3

Solve for the "new" y.

= y + 3

3 - 3

Subtract 3 from both sides

y = x= 3

The symbol for the inverse is f-¹(x)

f¹(x) = x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

brainlies me plss

[tex]f(x) = x -3 \\\\\text{Write f(x) as}~ y = x -3}\\\\\text{Now replace x and y,}\\\\x = y-3\\\\\text{Solve for y:}\\\\y = x+3 \\\\\implies f^{-1}(x) = x +3 ,~ \text{This is the inverse of given function.}[/tex]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

4+4 =8

Answer:

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this simply you have to put values instead of x and y,

For an example,

If the value of x is 1, you have to put 1 instead of x to the equation to find the value of y,

x = 1,

y = x + 4

y = 1 + 4

y =  5

In the same way, you can find the value of y when the value of x is 4.

x = 4,

y = x + 4

y = 4 + 4

y = 8

22) Find the area of the skating rink. Round to the nearest tenth.
36 ft
The rectangle
9 ft
36 X 9

6)9:36
19.36 -762

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the rink is a combination of a rectangle and 2 half-circles.

so, we need the areas of the rectangle and a full circle and add these 2 values.

the survivability is a little bit unclear. are the 9 ft the length of the arrow, or the whole width of the area ?

let's assume it is the first.

then the 9ft are the radius of the half-circles, and the width of the ice area is then the diameter of the circles and therefore twice the radius. 2×9 = 18ft.

the rectangle is simple :

Ar = 36×18 = 648 ft²

the formula for the area of a circle is

Ac = pi×r² = pi×9² = pi×81 = 254.4690049...ft²

this is rounded 254.5 ft²

as total area we have

648 + 254.5 = 902.5 ft²

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

168 factors into

2•2•2•3•7

two of the 2's make a perfect square

(2•2)•2•3•7

   2²•2•3•7

as none of the product of the remaining factors makes a perfect square

2•3 = 6,  2•7 = 14,  3•7 = 21

we need to multiply the remaining factors together to find another perfect square

   2²•(2•3•7)²

2•3•7 = 42

42(168) = 7056 = 84²
