Answer:

The increase in rent is 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Last year rent of an apartment on the Gold Coast for a weekend was $400.

This year it costs $480

Now we calculate the increase of rent

( 480 - 400 ) / 400 = 80 / 400 = 0.20

To convert into percentage we multiply it by 100 = 0.20 × 100 = 20%

The increase in rent is 20%.

You could write a set of equations or use the interest formula, A(t)=P(1+r/n)^nt
where p equals the principal amount, r equals the rate/ percentage of interest, n equals the compounding periods and t equals time

What is the measure of ∠EGF? What is the measure of ∠CGF?

andrey2020 [161]

measure of ∠EGF = 1/2( 180 - 50)
= 1/2(130)
= 65

the measure of ∠CGF = 180 - 65
= 115

There are seven boys and five girls in a class. The teacher randomly selects three different students to answer questions. The f

Aleks [24]

The probability of picking one girl would be $\frac{5}{12}$ . That is because there are 5 girls out of the 12 students, and the probability of an event occuring is: $\frac{\text{# of things you want}}{\text{# of things are possible}}$ .

Using that same logic, the next student should be easier. We reduced the student population by 1, so we have 11 possible ways it can happen now instead of 12, so that gives us: $\frac{7}{11}$ , for the probability of picking a boy as the second pick.

And lastly, using the same logic shown above, the probability of picking a girl on the third pick would be: $\frac{4}{10}$ .

We are not done, though. We have the separate probabilities, but now we have to multiply then together to figure out the probability of this exact event happening:

$\frac{5}{12}*\frac{7}{11}*\frac{4}{10}=\frac{140}{1320}$

Which when reduced is:

$\frac{7}{66}$

Using the quadratic formula to solve 11x2 – 4x = 1, what are the values of x? StartFraction 2 Over 11 EndFraction plus-or-minus

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

$x=\frac{2}{11}\pm\frac{\sqrt{15}} {11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$11x^{2} -4x=1$

equate to zero

$11x^{2} -4x-1=0$

$a=11\\b=-4\\c=-1$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-(-4)\pm\sqrt{-4^{2}-4(11)(-1)}} {2(11)}$

$x=\frac{4\pm\sqrt{60}} {22}$

$x=\frac{4\pm2\sqrt{15}} {22}$

$x=\frac{2\pm\sqrt{15}} {11}$

$x=\frac{2}{11}\pm\frac{\sqrt{15}} {11}$

therefore

A square OABC with the length of a side 6 cm and circle k(O) with a radius 5 cm are given. Which of the lines OA , AB , BC , or

Pavel [41]

Answer:

AC and OA

Step-by-step explanation:

-A secant is a line connecting two points on the circle.

-Given the square OABC of sides 6cm and a circle of r=5cm and the center of the circle as O, and that the radius of the circle is less than the side of the square:

-The circle passes through OA and OC, but doesn't pass through AB and BC.

Hence, AC and OA are the circle's secants.

At 9:00 on Saturday morning, two bicyclists heading in opposite directions pass each other on a bicycle path. The bicyclist head

7nadin3 [17]

Let x be the rate of the slower bicyclist and
x + 4 be the rate of the faster bicyclist

Since the bicyclists are headed towards opposite directions, the sum of the distances they covered traveling for one hour and 15 minutes should be equal to 40 km based on the given conditions above. This may be expressed as,

(x)(1.25) + (x + 4)(1.25) = 40

Calculating gives x = 14

Thus, the rate of the bicyclists are 14 km/h and 18 km/h.
