Answer:

The equivalent percentage point drop = 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage point change is the difference between the final and initial values.

The percentage change is the difference between the final and initial values

divided by the initial value

It is required to decrease the dropout rate from 30% to 20%

The point change = 20 - 30 = -10 (-ve change ⇒ decrease)

The percentage change = \frac{10}{30}*100 = 33.33_%%

So, the equivalent percentage point drop = <u>10%</u>

And the percentage change = <u>33.33%</u>

slavikrds [6]

Answer:  50x+250=75x+100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A graphics company charges $50 per hour to create a logo plus $250 for the ownership rights of the logo.

Let x be the number of hours , then the total cost to create the logo plus is given by :-

C(x)=250+50x

A private contractor charges $75 per hour to develop a logo plus a $100 supply fee.

The total cost to develop logo plus is given by :-

c(x)=100+75x

The equation to represent the costs would be the same is given by :_

C(x)=c(x)\\\Rightarrow50x+250=75x+100

Multiplying StartFraction 3 Over StartRoot 17 EndRoot minus StartRoot 2 EndRoot EndFraction by which fraction will produce an eq
ziro4ka [17]

The fraction which produce an equivalent fraction with a rational denominator is \left(\frac{\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}}\right)

Explanation:

The equation is \frac{3}{\sqrt{17}-\sqrt{2}}

To find the rational denominator, let us take conjugate of the denominator and multiply the conjugate with both numerator and denominator.

Rewriting the equation, we have,

\frac{3}{\sqrt{17}-\sqrt{2}}\left(\frac{\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}}\right)

Multiplying, we get,

\frac{3(\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2})}{(\sqrt{17})^{2}-(\sqrt{2})^{2}}

Simplifying the denominator, we get,

\frac{3(\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2})}{17-2}

Subtracting, the values of denominator,

\frac{3(\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2})}{15}

Dividing the numerator and denominator,

\frac{\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}}{5}

Hence, the denominator has become a rational denominator.

Thus, the fraction which produce an equivalent fraction with a rational denominator is \left(\frac{\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}}\right)

If 40% of a number is 32, what is 25% of that number?
Mekhanik [1.2K]
Well what I would do is split the 40% into 20% so from 40% to 20% that is /2. So 32/2=16 so 20% of a number is 16, we know there is 5, 20% in 100% so multiply 16 and 5 which gives you 80. Now 25% of 80 is the same as 80*.25 or 80/4 which is 20
