The length of the circle - <span>the product of the diameter and the number Pi
l = d</span>π
l = 900cm
π ≈ 3,1415 przyjmiemy wartość 3
900cm = d* 3   [:3
d = 300cm  
<span>Becky rounded value of Pi , hence the difference in result

l = d*π
900cm = d*3,1415
d = 900cm : 3,1415 = 286,49cm

Cheese sticks that were previously priced at "10 for $1" are now "2 for $1". Find each percent change.
AysviL [449]

Answer:

The percent decrease in the number of cheese sticks you can buy for $1 is 80%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Cheese sticks that were previously priced at "10 for $1" are now "2 for $1".

To find : The percent decrease in the number of cheese sticks you can buy for $1 ?

Solution :

The formula used to find percent decrease is given by,

\%\text{ change}=\frac{\text{Amount of change}}{\text{Original amount }}\times 100

The price change from 10 to 2,

\%\text{ change}=\frac{10-2}{10}\times 100

\%\text{ change}=\frac{8}{10}\times 100

\%\text{ change}=80\%

The percent decrease in the number of cheese sticks you can buy for $1 is 80%.

You plan to rent a car from XYZ Car Rental Company for a flat rate of $35 a
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The piece-wise function is;

f\left (x  \right ) = \begin{cases} \$ 45 \times  x & \text{ if } x \leq 3  \ days \\ \$40 \times x & \text{ if } x > 3 \ days\end{cases}

Step-by-step explanation:

The flat rate for renting the car = $35 per day

The amount charged as insurance fee per day for renting the car for 3 days or less = $10

The insurance fee charged per day when the car is rented for more than 3 days = $5

Let the number of days = x

Therefore, we have;

For x ≤ 3, f(x) = 35 × x + 10 × x = x × (35+10) = 45·x

For x > 3, f(x) = 35 × x + 5 × x = x × (35+5) = 40·x

Therefore;

The charge rate for renting the car for less than or equal to 3 days = 45·x

The charge rate for renting the car for more than 3 days = 40·x

The piece-wise function can be presented as follows;

f\left (x  \right ) = \begin{cases} \$ 45 \times  x & \text{ if } x \leq 3  \ days \\ \$40 \times x & \text{ if } x > 3 \ days\end{cases}
