Answer:

C.   37.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table, we know that the relative frequency of Contractors that prefer Glossy finish is 0.18, and the frequency of Contractors is 0.48. Therefore, contractors who prefer the glossy finish represent 0.18/0.48 = 0.375 or 0.375*100 = 37.5% of the total people surveyed.

Geometry: Line QS bisects angle PQR. Solve for x and find the measure of angle PQR.
Kazeer [188]

It is given in the question that,

Line QS bisects angle PQR. Solve for x and find the measure of angle PQR.

And

m \angle PQS = 2x+1
\\
m \angle RQS = 4x-15

Since QS bisects angle PQR, therefore

m \angle PQS = m \angle RQS

Substituting the values, we will get

2x+1=4x-15
\\
1+15 = 4x-2x
\\
2x = 16
\\
x = 8

In a certain month, Oscar sells 6 cars more than Jackie. If together they sell 30 cars, how many cars did Jackie sell?
diamong [38]

Answer:

Jackie sold 12 cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call the number of cars Oscar sold O, and the number of cars Jackie sold J, we can say the following:

O = J + 6

As Oscar sold 6 cars more than Jackie.

Together, they sold 30 cars.

O + J = 30

Since we know that:

O = J + 6

... we can put this into our previous equation.

O + J = 30

(J + 6) + J = 30

J + J + 6 = 30

2 * J + 6 = 30

Subtract 6 from both sides:

2 * J = 24

Divide both sides by 2:

J = 24 / 2

J = 12

Jackie sold 12 cars.

What weight of dry substance is in 150g of a 3% substance solution? What weight of an 8% solution can we have with the same weig
Leto [7]
<span>4.5 g 56.25 g Since the only type of measurement mentioned in this question is weight or mass, I'll assume that the percentage concentration is % m/m (mass/mass). For that type of concentration measurement, simply multiple the percentage by the total mass to get the mass of the desired substance. So 150 g * 3% = 150 g * 0.03 = 4.5g For the amount of 8% solution with the same amount of dry substance, there's 2 ways of calculating the mass of solution. First, use the ratio of percentages, multiplied by the mass of the original solution to get the desired amount of new solution: 3/8 * 150 g = 56.35 g Or calculate it from scratch, like 4.5/X = 8/100 450/X = 8 450 = 8X 56.25 = X In both cases, the result is that you desire 56.25 grams of 8% solution.</span>
