A student raises her grade average from a 75 to a 90. What was the percent of increase

1 answer:

4 0

This can be solved algebraically. Before we start, as context, to find a percentage you multiply by the percentage/100.

$75*x=90 \\ x= \frac{90}{75} \\ \\ \boxed{x=1.2}$

This tells us that 90 is 120% of 75. However, your question wants us to find the increase, therefore we don't need that 100.
Therefore, the increase is 20%.

Triangle WXY is an Isosceles right triangle, since WX=XY.

First, we determine the length of WY using Pythagoras Theorem.

$WY=\sqrt{4^2+4^2}\\WY=\sqrt{32}$

Since triangle WXY is Isosceles, $\angle XYW=45^\circ$

$\angle XYZ=\angle XYW+\angle WYZ\\135^\circ=45^\circ+\angle WYZ\\\angle WYZ=135^\circ-45^\circ=90^\circ$

Therefore:

Triangle WYZ is a right triangle with WZ as the hypothenuse.

Applying Pythagoras Theorem

$WZ^2=WY^2+YZ^2\\9^2=(\sqrt{32})^2+a^2\\a^2=81-32\\a^2=49\\a^2=7^2\\$Therefore: a=7$

mash [69]

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

i had a similar question

For each roll you start with paying 2 dollars and you only with 10 dollars one out of 6 rolls (on average).

So the cost for one play is 2 dollars and your win is 10/6.

Value is -2+10/6=-1/3 dollars

So you lose 1/3 dollars on average with each game

since you have no limited rolls u put 1/5

this from another question but both same just different numbers

What’s 8/15 divided by 4/5

iragen [17]

Answer: 2/3

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we have 8/15 ÷ 4/5. Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. In other words, we can change the division sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

8/15 ÷ 4/5 can be rewritten as 8/15 × 5/4

Now, we are simply multiplying fractions so we multiply across the numerators and multiply across the denominators.

8/15 × 5/4 = 40/60 = 2/3
