Since we know that they have to e similar, it is a 20ft tall flagpole. the shadow of the girl is half of her height, so since the flag pole shadow is 10ft it is simple 10 multiplied by 2

Last year Boris paid £256 for his car insurance.
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The percentage increase in the cost of Boris car insurance cost is 249%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we want to calculate the percentage increase in the cost of car insurance paid by Boris

Mathematically, to calculate this percentage increase, we shall need to make use of a mathematical formula.

Mathematically, the percentage increase would be;

{(new value paid-old value paid)/old value paid} * 100%

From the question, we can identify that the old value paid is £256 while the new value paid is £894

Thus, the percentage increase would be ;

(894-256)/256 * 100% = 638/256 * 100 = 2.4921875 * 100 = 249.21875 which is 249% increase to the nearest whole percentage

Including Jose, there are eight people in his family.
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

840

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the order matters, we use the permutations formula to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}

In this question:

The first seat is Jose's.

The remaining four are organized among the other 7 members. So

P_{(7,4)} = \frac{7!}{(7-4)!} = 840

So the correct answer is:

840

P=100a÷t solve for a
pishuonlain [190]

<u><em>a=1/100pt is the correct answer.</em></u> First you had to multiply by t from both sides of equation, and it gave us, ⇒ pt=100a. And then you had to flip an equation, and it gave us, ⇒100a=pt. You can also divide by one-hundred (100) from both sides of equation, and it gave us, \frac{100a}{100}=\frac{pt}{100}. And finally, and it gave us the answer is a=1/100pt is the final answer. Hope this helps! And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day. -Charlie

A firm has a revenue function that can be represented by r (x)=700x-0.35x^2, where r (x) is the total revenue (in dollars) and x
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

How many units need to be sold to produce the maximum revenue? 1000 units

How many in dollars is the maximum revenue when the maximum of units are sold? $350,000

Step-by-step explanation:

We get max value of a function if we differentiate it and set it equal to 0.

We need to differentiate r(x) and set it equal to 0 and solve for x.

<u><em>That would be number of units sold to get max revenue.</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

<u>Then we take that "x" value and substitute into r(x) to get the max revenue amount.</u>

<u />

Before differentiating, we see the rules shown below:

f(x)=ax^n\\f'(x)=n*ax^{n-1}

Where

f'(x) is the differentiated function

Now, let's do the process:

r (x)=700x-0.35x^2\\r(x)=700-2*0.35x\\r(x)=700-0.7x\\0=700-0.7x\\0.7x=700\\x=1000

So, 1000 units need to be sold for max revenue

Now, substituting, we get:

r (x)=700x-0.35x^2\\r(1000)=700(1000)-0.35(1000)^2\\r(1000)=350,000

The max revenue amount is $350,000
