Division of two quantities is expressed as the quotient of those two quantities.

The word quotient is derived from the Latin language. It is from the Latin word "quotiens" which means "how many times." A quotient is the answer to a divisional problem. A divisional problem describes how many times a number will go into another. The first time that this word was known to have been used in mathematics was around 1400 - 1500 AD in England.

There are two different ways to find the quotient of two numbers. One of them is through Fractions. The quotient of a fraction is the number obtained when the fraction is simplified. The other way to find a quotient is by employing the long division method where the quotient value is positioned above the divisor and dividend.

I need to increase the number of customers by 20% daily, I talk to an average of 8 customers per hour during an 8 hour shift so

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Before we figure out how many customers you will need to talk per day to reach your goal, let's calculate what is 20% of how many customers you normally talk to a day.

current no. = 8

goal = 8 + 20%

20% = 8 x 0.20

(a percent is really just a fraction with the percent number over 100)

20% = 1.60

goal = 8 + 1.60

goal = 9.60

However, there is no such thing as .60 of a person so we will have to round up. You will need to talk to 10 customers per day.

You sell sporting goods. Your wages depend on the value of your sales. One week you sold $3,500 in sporting goods, earning $950.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

y = 0.2x + 250

Step-by-step explanation:

let the sales be x and y be earnings

thus,

given

x₁ = $3,500 ; y₁ = $950

and,

x₂ = $2,800 ; y₂ = $810

Now,

the standard line equation is given as:

y = mx + c

here,

m is the slope

c is the constant

also,

m = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

m = $\frac{810-950}{\textup{2,800-3,500}}$

m = 0.2

substituting the value of 'm' in the equation, we get

y = 0.2x + c

now,

substituting the x₁ = $3,500 and y₁ = $950 in the above equation, we get

$950 = 0.2 × $3,500 + c

$950 = $700 + c

c = $250

hence,

The equation comes out as:

y = 0.2x + 250

The height of a cylinder is twice the radius of its base. A cylinder has a height of 2 x and a radius of x. What expression repr

cluponka [151]

<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>volume of the cylinder = 2π $x^{3}$ </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of a cylinder is twice the radius of its base.

Let the height of the cylinder = 2x

Let the radius of the cylinder = x

By formula, volume of the cylinder = π $r^{2}$ h

here r = x, h = 2x

substituting the values in the equation, we get

volume of the cylinder = π $r^{2}$ h = π $x^{2}$ (2x)

volume of the cylinder = 2π $x^{3}$
