Answer: He is not correct.

Steps:

Let x1 and x2 be the first and second number, respectively.

x_2 = \frac{5}{4}x_1\\\frac{4}{5}x_2 =x_1

In words, if the second is 125%, or 5/4 of the first number (first equation),

then the first is 4/5 of the second, which is 0.8 or 80%.

Kamila [148]

1. Natasha invests £250 in a building society account. At the end of the year her account is

credited with 2% interest. How much interest had her £250 earned in the year?

Solution: Interest = 2% of £250

= 2/100 x £250

 answer       = £5

2. Alan invests £140 in an account that pays r% interest. After the first year he receives £4.20 interest. What is the value of r, the rate of interest?

r/100 x £140 = £4.20

        r = 100 x 4.20 / 140

             = 420/140

           = 3%

So the interest rate is 3%

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

(m + 2)^4 = m^4+ 8 m^3 + 24 m^2 + 32 m + 16

Step-by-step explanation:

(m + 2)^4 = (1)(m^4)(2^0) + (4)(m^3)(2^1) + (6)(m^2)(2^2) + (4)(m^1)(2^3) + (1)(m^0)(2^4)

2^0 is 1 also m^0 is 1

2^2= 4, 2^3= 8 , 2^4= 16

(m + 2)^4 = (1)(m^4)(1)+ (4)(m^3)(2) + (6)(m^2)(4) + (4)(m^1)(8) + (1)(1)(16)

(m + 2)^4 = m^4+ 8 m^3 + 24 m^2 + 32 m + 16

The total cost of an item including sales tax is directly proportional to its price. If the total cost of a $32 item is $33.60 ,
pav-90 [236]
Let the total cost of the item be represented by C and the price be represented by P, then given that t<span>he total cost of an item including sales tax is directly proportional to its price, thus</span>

C\propto P \\  \\ \Rightarrow C=kP

where k is a constant.

Given that <span>the total cost of a $32 item is $33.60, thus

33.60=32k \\  \\ \Rightarrow k= \frac{33.60}{32} =1.05

Therefore, the total cost on a $55 item is given by

C=1.05\times55=\$57.75</span>
