Jim keeps track of his driving so that he can take a tax deduction. Jim drove 450 miles last month, in comparison to 261 miles this month. By what percent has his monthly driving decreased?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

42% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the percent increase or decrease, subtract 450 by 261 to get 189. Then divide this by 450 to get 0.42. Multiply this by 100 to get a 42 percent decrease.

What is RU?

B.30
C.12
D.15

Answers

I think the answer to the question is 20

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment  RT is a perpendicular bisector and means Δ RSU is isosceles, then the 2 legs are congruent, that is

RS = RU , substitute values

8x = 6x + 5 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

2x = 5 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2.5

Thus

RU = 6x + 5 = 6(2.5) + 5 = 15 + 5 = 20 → a

Karen and James both had 30 stocking stuffer items on their shopping list. After black Friday shopping Karen had finished 35% of her shopping After black Friday shopping James had finished 60% of his shopping HOW MANY MORE items has James purchased than Karen?

Answers

Answer: 7.5 items

Both Karen and James had 30 stocking items.

Karen bought 35% of her items;

= 18 items

= 18 - 10.5

= 7.5 items

What is the approximate circumference of the circle shown below

Answers

Answer: A) 46.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference = 2 π r or Circumference = π d

In this case, they give us the diameter = 14.8 cm. Therefore the radius = 14.8/2 = 7.4 cm.

π ≈ 3.14.

We can use either equation above, but because the diameter was given, we will use c = πd for simplicity.

C = π d

= (3.14)(14.8)

= 46.47 cm, which rounds to 46.5 cm

Thomas can process a pile of paperwork in 4 hours less time than Frank. Together they can process the pile in 2.1 hours. How long would it take Frank to do the job alone?

Answers

Answer:

F = 7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken by Frank to work alone be F.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation;

Thomas alone takes (F - 4) hours.

Combine time = 2.1 hours

Their individual work rate expressed in piles per hour are;

Frank = 1/F

Thomas = 1/(F - 4)

Combined rate = 1/F + 1/(F - 4)

Simplifying the equation, we have;

Combined rate = (F - 4 + F)/F(F - 4)

Combined rate = (2F - 4)/F(F - 4)

Combined rate = (2F - 4)/(F²- 4F)

Now to find the time taken when they work together is;

(2F - 4)/(F²- 4F) = 1/2.1

Cross-multiplying, we have;

2.1*(2F - 4) = F² - 4F

4.2F - 8.4 = F² - 4F

Rearranging the equation, we have;

F² - 4.2F - 4F + 8.4 = 0

F² - 8.2F + 8.4 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation by factorization;

Factors = -7 and -1.2

F² - 7F - 1.2F + 8.4 = 0

F(F - 7) - 1.2(F - 7) = 0

(F - 7)(F - 1.2) = 0

Therefore, F = 7 or 1.2 hours

The time taken by Frank alone would be 7 hours.

Gary's pay is $15 per hour. He receives a 6% pay raise.

Answers

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Gary's pay is $15 per hour. He receives a 6% pay raise.

Which method can Gary use to correctly calculate his new hourly pay rate?

Choose Yes or No for each method.

Answer:

Multiply 15 by 0.06 and add the result to 15 is the correct method

Step-by-step explanation:

Now when you are told to obtain the percentage, it simply means to multiply the given percentage by the number.

Here is what i mean;

6% of 15 simply means

6/100 * 15

Or

0.06 * 15 = 0.9

Since his basic pay of $15 was increased by this percentage, we have to add $0.9 so we have;

15 + 0.9 = $ 15.9

Answer:

Concept: Sequences & Series

The hint here is to try to find the common factor, you asked us to solve 1 so see the solution below.

1,-3,9, -27 : We see a common base of 3 hence we can find that the series representation is [tex]( - 3) ^{n-1} [/tex]

Next we can find the next 3 terms by just plugging in the values

We want the 6th, 7th, and 8th term

So we plug 6 in for n and 7 in for n and 8 in for n

So we get the 6th term=-243

The 7th term= 729

The 8th term= -2187

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 1 , -3 , 9 , -27 , 81 ,...........

It is Geometric sequence

ratio = 2 term ÷ first term = -3 ÷ 1 = -3

1st term = 1

2nd term = 1 * -3 = -3

3rd term = -3 *(-3) = 9

4th term = 9 *(-3) = - 27

6th term = 81 *(-3) = -243

7th  term = -243 *(-3) =  729

8th term = 729 *(-3) = -2187

Next 3 terms:  - 243 , 729 , - 2187,....

4)

[tex]\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2} , \frac{3}{8} , \frac{1}{4} ,\frac{5}{32},.....\\\\\\Rule = \frac{n}{2^{n}}\\Term1 = \frac{1}{2^{1}}=\frac{1}{2}\\\\Term2 = \frac{2}{2^{2}}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\\\\Term3 = \frac{3}{2^{3}}=\frac{3}{8}\\\\Term4 = \frac{4}{2^{4}}=\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}\\\\Temr5 = \frac{5}{2^{5}}=\frac{5}{32}\\\\Term6 = \frac{6}{2^{6}} = \frac{6}{64} = \frac{3}{32}\\\\Term7 = \frac{7}{2^{7}}=\frac{7}{128}\\\\Term8 =\frac{8}{2^{8}} = \frac{8}{256}=\frac{1}{32}\\\\[/tex]
