<u>Part a)</u> if a page is reduced to 80%, what percent enlargement is needed to return it to its original size?
Let
x---------> the percent enlargement
we know that
the original size is the 100%
so
x*80%=100%
x=(100%/80%)
x=1.25--------> 1.25=(125/100)=125%
therefore
<u>the answer Part a) is</u>
the percent enlargement is 125%
<u>Part b)</u> Estimate the number of times in succession that a page must be copied to make the final copy less than 15% of the size of the original
we know that
A photocopy machine can reduce copies to 80% of their original size
so
Copy N 1
0.80*100%=80%
Copy N 2
0.80*80%=64%
Copy N 3
0.80*64%=51.2%
Copy N 4
0.80*51.2%=40.96%
Copy N 5
0.80*40.96%=32.77%
Copy N 6
0.80*32.77%=26.21%
Copy N 7
0.80*26.21%=20.97%
Copy N 8
0.80*20.97%=16.78%
Copy N 9
0.80*16.78%=13.42%-------------> 13.42% < 15%
therefore
<u>the answer Part b) is</u>
the number of times in succession is 9
Answer:
a = 9
b = 19
Step-by-step explanation:
DO B FIRST
The mean is the average of all the terms (numbers) in the sequence
To find the average you find the sum of the terms and divided the sum by the number of terms there are.
The mean times the number of terms equals the sum of all the terms subtract the terms that you know from the sum to get A
a = 17(10)-7-12-15-17-19-20-22-24-25
a = 170-161
a = 9
The median is found by taking the average of the two middle terms
Our middle terms are 17 and B
the median times 2 equals the sum of the two terms and then subtract the term you know from the sum
b = 18(2)-17
b = 36-17
b = 19
They must sell 250 cameras
and 50 more cameras would be a $400 profit
Answer: The comparison is mentioned below.
Step-by-step explanation:
A piece of climbing equipment at a playground is 6 feet high and extends 4 feet horizontally.
Therefore its slope = length of the equipment vertically / length of equipment horizontally
= 6/4 = 3/2 = 1.5
And, A piece of climbing equipment at a gym is 10 feet high and extends 6 feet horizontally.
Therefore slope, 
= 10/6 = 5/3=1.67 (approx)
Since, <
Thus the slope of equipment first is less than slope of second equipment.
