Answer:

its debt decreased by 16.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

If you decreased your debt from $ 90 to $ 75, it means that the rebate was $ 15

In percentage terms, you can calculate debt abatement in two ways:

Let x denote the value

1) By rule of 3

90 ---- 100%

15 = x%

x = 1500/90

x = 16.6%

2) Divide the discounted value by the total value

15/90 = 0.166

Then, simply multiply by 100 to reach the percentage

0.166 x 100 = 16.6

Therefore, its debt decreased by 16.6%

In 2004, a magazine's circulation was about 1,000,000 readers. In 2014, the magazine had about 2,000,000 readers. Write a linear

professor190 [17]

Answer:

$r(t)=100,000t+600,000$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

r ----> the number of readers (y-coordinate or dependent variable)

t ----> the number of years after 2000 (x-coordinate or independent variable)

Remember

2004 ----> represent t=4 years

2014 ----> represent t=14 years

we have the ordered pairs

(4,1,000,000) and (14,2,000,000)

step 1

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{2,000,000-1,000,000}{14-4}$

$m=\frac{1,000,000}{10}$

$m=100,000\frac{readers}{year}$

step 2

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

$r-r1=m(t-t1)$

we have

$m=100,000\\point\ (4,1,000,000)$

substitute

$r-1,000,000=100,000(t-4)$

step 3

Convert to slope intercept form

$r=mt+b$

isolate the variable r

$r-1,000,000=100,000t-400,000\\r=100,000t-400,000+1,000,000\\r=100,000t+600,000$

step 4

Convert to function notation

$r(t)=100,000t+600,000$

If a piece of rope cost 20 cents per 2 feet, how many feet can you buy for 30 dollars?

katrin2010 [14]

Answer: $300\ feet$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the lenght in feet of rope that you can buy with 30 dollars.

According to the information provided in the exercise, you can buy a piece of rope of 2 feet with 20 cents.

Remember that $20\ cents=0.2\ dollars$

Knowing this, you can write the following proportion:

$\frac{0.2}{2}=\frac{30}{x}$

FInally, solving for "x", you get this result:

$\frac{0.2}{2}=\frac{30}{x}\\\\x(\frac{0.2}{2})=30\\\\x=(30)(\frac{2}{0.20})\\\\x=300$

Suppose a snow cone has a paper cone that is 8 centimeters deep and has a diameter of 5 centimeters. The flavored ice comes in a

Neko [114]

check the picture below.

so the cone itself has a height of 8, and a radius of 2.5, and the spherical scoop, ready to melt in it, has a radius of 2.5.

namely, will the volume of the sphere be larger than the cone? in which case the melted ice-cream will overflow.

$\bf \textit{volume of a cone}\\\\ V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}~~ \begin{cases} r=2.5\\ h=8 \end{cases}\implies V=\cfrac{\pi (2.5)^2(8)}{3}\implies \implies \boxed{V=\cfrac{50\pi }{3}} \\\\\\ \textit{volume of a sphere}\\\\ V=\cfrac{4\pi r^3}{3}\qquad r=2.5\implies V=\cfrac{4(\pi )(2.5)^3}{3}\implies \boxed{V=\cfrac{125\pi }{6}} \\\\\\ \textit{the sphere's volume is larger, so yes, it will overflow}$
