Alec wants to purchase a new phone that costs $159.00. His current average net pay is $167.91 each week. What percent of his weekly net pay does Alec need to save each week, for the next six weeks, to reach his goal? Round to the nearest hundredth. (1 point)
1.58%
9.09%
15.78%

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  15.78%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the fraction of pay that Alec needs to save each week. Then at the end of 6 weeks, he will have ...

  159.00 = 6(x(167.91))

  x = 159.00/(6·167.91) ≈ 0.157823 ≈ 15.78%

Alec will need to save 15.78% of his pay.

_____

Additional comment

We recognize that $159 is almost a whole paycheck of $168, so Alec needs to save approximately 1/6 of his paycheck each week. We know that 1/6 = 16.67%, so the nearest reasonable answer choice is 15.78%.

The length of the parallel sides of a trapezium are 3cm and 1 cm, and the distance between them is 1 cm. What is its area?​

Answers

Answer:

A = 2 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezium is calculated as

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] h (b₁ + b₂ )

where h is the distance between parallel sides and b₁, b₂ , the parallel sides

Here h = 1, b₁ = 3, b₂ = 1 , then

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 1 × (3 + 1) = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 4 = 2 cm²

The height of a triangle is 5 cm more than its base. The area of the triangle is 52 square centimeters. What is the base of the triangle?

Answers

Answer:

the base is 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

basically, we need to set up a system of equations.

if we know the area of a triangle is 1/2bh, and that h = b + 5, (because we want them to equal one another in the equation), we can then make two different equations and substitute the h for b.

1/2bh = 52 and h = b+5

subsitute in the (b+5) for the h in the first equation to get

(1/2)(b)(b+5) = 52

multiply both sides by two to get rid of the 1/2

b)(b+5) = 104

now multiply the bs together!

b^2 + 5b = 104

If you know how to factor, we can make this

b^2 +5b -104 and then

(b+13)(b-8) = 0

solve for b to get b = -13, 8, and -13 isn't a real distance, so the only option for b is 8 square centimeters.

Plugging this back into the original equations to get the height (and checking that it is actually right,) we get a height of 13.

When you plug in the 13 and 8 into the area equation, you get

(8)(13)(1/2) = 52

52 = 52

so it works!

lmk if anything is confusing- i know I kind of breezed by the factoring part, but if you have a calculator you can keep dividing 104 by random numbers until you get the right difference if you get kind of lost. The formula

[-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a is another way you could always get the right answer, (from the form Ax^2 + Bx + C), but it's pretty time consuming and I'm not sure whether you've actually learned that yet..

hope that helps! :)

Answer:

  (0, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the same for any segment of the line. The slope from (0, y) to (3, 0) is the same as from (4, 1) to (3, 0).

  Δy/Δx = (y -0)/(0 -3) = (1 -0)/(4 -3)

  y = -3(1/1) = -3 . . . . . multiply by -3

The y-intercept is (0, -3).

and abe= 60 70 or 81

Answer:

ABC=112 degrees

DBE=112 degrees

ABE=68 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

CBD=ABE

ABE=68 degrees

First let's take these as X,

ABC=DBE=X(Vertically opposite angles)

ABC+DBE+CBD+ABE=360(angles around a point)

   x  + x     +68   +68  =360

      2x        +136        =360

                       2x       =360-136

                       2x       =  224

                             x    =112 degrees

therefore;

   ABC=112 degrees

   DBE=112 degrees

If a function is defined by the equation y = 1/2x -3/2 , which equation defines the inverse of this function?

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation making x the subject

y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] ( multiply through by 2 to clear the fractions )

2y = x - 3 ( add 3 to both sides )

2y + 3 = x

Change y back into terms of x with x being the inverse function, that is

y = 2x + 3 → B
