The right answer is Option B: $\frac{5500}{p}=\frac{55}{100}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Current value of car = $5500

This is 55% of the original value.

Let,

p be the original price of car.

Therefore,

55% of p = 5500

$\frac{55}{100}p=5500$

Dividing both sides by p

$\frac{55}{100}*\frac{p}{p}=\frac{5500}{p}\\\frac{55}{100}=\frac{5500}{p}$

The equation $\frac{5500}{p}=\frac{55}{100}$ can be used to find the price Mrs. Merson paid for the car.

The right answer is Option B: $\frac{5500}{p}=\frac{55}{100}$

A building engineer analyzes a concrete column with a circular cross section. The circumference of the column is 18 \pi18π18, pi

katrin [286]

The area of the cross section of the column is $18 \pi \ m^2$

Explanation:

Given that a building engineer analyzes a concrete column with a circular cross section.

Also, given that the circumference of the column is $18 \pi$ meters.

We need to determine the area of the cross section of the column.

The area of the cross section of the column can be determined using the formula,

$Area= \pi r^2$

First, we shall determine the value of the radius r.

Since, given that circumference is $18 \pi$ meters.

We have,

$2 \pi r=18 \pi$

$r=9$

Thus, the radius is $r=9$

Now, substituting the value $r=9$ in the formula $Area= \pi r^2$ , we get,

$Area = \pi (9)^2$

$Area = 81 \pi$

Thus, the area of the cross section of the column is $18 \pi \ m^2$

When x = 6.4, y=117, therefore

15*6.4 + b = 117

b = 117 - 96 = 21

Confirm this value by checking (6.6, 120).

15*6.6 + 21 = 120 (Correct)

Answer: b = 21
