Answer: 5%

Explanation 1:

20:400*100 =
(20*100):400 =
2000:400 = 5


Explanation 2:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 400 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$x​.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=400$100%=400​.

Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=20$x%=20​.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

$100\%=400(1)$100%=400(1)​.

$x\%=20(2)$x%=20(2)​.

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS
(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{400}{20}$
100%
x%​=
400
20​​

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{20}{400}$
x%
100%​=
20
400​​

$\Rightarrow x=5\%$⇒x=5%​

Therefore, $20$20​ is $5\%$5%​ of $400$400​.

The equation 9(u – 2) + 1.5u = 8.25 models the total miles Michael traveled one afternoon while sledding, where u equals the num
MArishka [77]

Answer:

h = 2.5

Step by step explanation:

We have been given an equation 9(u-2)+1.5u=8.25 that models the total miles Michael traveled one afternoon while sledding, where u equals the number of hours walking up a hill and (u – 2) equals the number of hours sledding down the hill.

To find value of u we will solve our equation.

Upon using distributive property we will get,    

9(u-2)+1.5u=8.25

9u-18+1.5u=8.25

Now let us add 18 to both sides of our equation.

9u-18+18+1.5u=8.25+18

9u+1.5u=8.25+18

Now let us combine like terms.

10.5u=26.25

Upon dividing both sides of our equation by 10.5 we will get,

u=\frac{26.25}{10.5}

u=2.5

Therefore, value of u is 2.5.

atroni [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the length of the bugs as shown;

Lady bug = 3/8

Ant = 1/4

Firefly = 7/8

Honey bee = 0.8

Deer tick = 0.2

Before we arrange the length in ascending order (shortest to longest), we will have to represent them in percentage.

Lady bug = 3/8×100

= 300/8

= 37.5%

Ant = 1/4×100

Ant = 25%

Firefly = 7/8 × 100

Firefly = 87.5%

Honey bee = 0.8×100

Honey bee = 80%

Deer tick = 0.2×100

Deer tick = 20%

On rearranging in ascending order:

20%, 25%, 37.5%, 80%, 87.5%

Based on the insect

Deer tick, Ant, ladybug, honey bee, Firefly

Based on their length:

0.2, 1/4, 3/8, 0.8, 7/8

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

y = 100 - 2.5 x is the equation that represents her total profit from

the project

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

1. An electrician earns 100 dollars for a project installing light fixtures

2. She must pay for the light fixtures herself and they cost 2 dollars

   and 50 cents each

3. x represent the number of light fixtures and y represent her

  total profit

Her profit is the amount of money she has left over after paying for

the light fixtures

∵ The cost of each light fixtures is 2 dollars and 50 cents

- Let us change the cents to dollar

∵ $1 = 100 cents

∴ 50 cents =  dollar

∴ 2 dollars and 50 cents = $2.5

∵ Her profit = The money she earns - The money she pays

∴ The cost of each light fixtures = $2.5

∵ She installs x light fixtures

∴ She pays 2.5 x dollar

∵ She earns $ 100 for installing x light fixtures

∵ Her profit is $y

∴ y = 100 - 2.5 x

y = 100 - 2.5 x is the equation that represents her total profit from

the project

A 2-column table has 5 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries negative 2, negative 1, 0, 1, 2. The second column is la
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

f(x) = 3(2)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

The Table is:

<u>x</u>    <u>f(x)</u>

-2   3/4

-1    3/2

0    3

1     6

2    12

The exponential funtion has the next form:

f(x) = a(b)^x

At x = 0, f(x) = a. Then, a = 3

Isolating b from the equation:

f(x)/a = b^x

ln(f(x)/a) = x*ln(b)

[ln(f(x)/a)]/x = ln(b)

At x = 1, f(x) = 6. Then:

[ln(6/3)]/1 = ln(b)

ln(2) = ln(b)

2 = b

Therefore, the function is f(x) = 3(2)^x
