Answer: 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation is in progress of writing:

First, I will divide 60 by 75 and multiply by 100, to find what percent of 75 is 60:

= \frac{60}{75} · 100

= 0.8 · 100

= 80%

which equation is in slope-intercept form and represents a line with slope 3 through the point (9,-4)
krek1111 [17]

Slope-intercept form is y = mx +b, where the variable m represents the slope of the line and the variable b represents the y-intercept of the line. Since we weren't given the y-intercept, one way to solve this problem is substitute the slope for the variable m and then the x and y values from the ordered pair to solve for b.

y = mx + b

y = 3x + b

-4 = 3(9) + b

Now, we can simplify by computing the multiplication on the right side of the equation.

-4 = 27 + b

Finally, we can find the value for b by subtracting 27 from both sides of the equation to get:

-31 = b

Now, we should substitute this value for b back into our equation with the slope.

y = 3x - 31

Therefore, your answer is y = 3x - 31.

Hope this helps!

The album The Best of Radiohead, by Radiohead, has a list price of $13.83, and the album The King of Limbs, by Radiohead, has a
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

206 albums The King of Limbs and 34 albums The Best of Radiohead sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no. of The album The Best of Radiohead sold .

We are given that total  sales of both albums in one week is 240 albums.

So, number of albums The King of Limbs = 240 -x

Cost of 1 album The Best of Radiohead by Radiohead is $13.83

Cost of x album The Best of Radiohead by Radiohead = 13.83x

Cost of 1 album The King of Limbs, by Radiohead= $7.83

Cost of (240-x) album The King of Limbs, by Radiohead=7.83(240-x)

The total cost revenue of both albums in that week is 2083.20

So,  13.83x+7.83(240-x)=2083.20

13.83x+1879.2-7.83x=2083.20

13.83x-7.83x=2083.20-1879.2

6x=204

x=\frac{204}{6}

x=34

The no. of The album The Best of Radiohead sold is 34

Number of albums The King of Limbs = 240 -x =240-34=206

Hence 206 albums The King of Limbs and 34 albums The Best of Radiohead sold

Suppose 1000 people enter a chess tournament. Use a rooted tree model of the tournament to determine how many games must be play
Vlada [557]

Answer: 999 games

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many ways to illustrate the rooted tree model to calculate the number of games that must be played until only one player is left who has not lost.

We could go about this manually. Though this would be somewhat tedious, I have done it and attached it to this answer. Note that when the number of players is odd, an extra game has to be played to ensure that all entrants at that round of the tournament have played at least one game at that round. Note that there is no limit on the number of games a player can play; the only condition is that a player is eliminated once the player loses.

The sum of the figures in the third column is 999.

We could also use the formula for rooted trees to calculate the number of games that would be played.

i=\frac{l - 1}{m - 1}

where i is the number of "internal nodes," which represents the number of games played for an "<em>m</em>-ary" tree, which is the number of players involved in each game and l is known as "the number of leaves," in this case, the number of players.

The number of players is 1000 and each game involves 2 players. Therefore, the number of games played, i, is given by

i=\frac{l - 1}{m - 1} = i=\frac{1000 - 1}{2 - 1} = \frac{999}{1} =999
