55.9 is what percent of 545.8? Click to select the correct answer. Round answer to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Answer 1
305 because 545.8*.559= 305.1022
Answer 2
Final answer:

55.9 is approximately 10% of 545.8. To calculate this, divide 55.9 by 545.8 and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage, and round to the nearest whole number as per the precision of the given values.

Explanation:

To find what percent 55.9 is of 545.8, we use the formula for percentage: Percentage = (Part / Whole) × 100. Plugging in the numbers, we get:

Percentage = (55.9 / 545.8) × 100

Executing the division first (as per order of operations), we have:

Percentage = 0.1024 × 100

Now, multiplying by 100 to convert to a percentage:

Percentage = 10.24%

Rounding this to the nearest whole number, we get 10%. Because the question requires following proper rounding rules based on significant figures, we consider the least precise number provided - 55.9 (tenths place) - when determining the final answer. Therefore, we round the percentage to the tenths place to coincide with the precision of the given values.

Choose the graph which represents the solution to the inequality.

Answers

The answer is D

To solve the inequality:

3-2x >= -17
-2x >= -20
x <= 10       when you divide by a negative, the inequality sign switches 

Graph D covers all numbers less than or equal to 10
I believe that D is correct. When u solve this, it is 3-2x is greater than or equal to -17. you need to isolate x, so you minus 3 from each side. Since 17 is negative, you are just adding a negative to the other side, giving you -20 is less than or equal to -2x. since it is a negative, you do -20/-2. But don't forget, that it was a negative, so you need to switch the sign. So x is less than or equal to 10. I hope this works!!! Another way to check is to plug your answer back into the equation and see if it works.

Find the range of ƒ(x) = –2x – 5 for the domain {–2, –1, 1, 2}.

Answers

-2(-2)-5= -1      -2(-1)-5=-3   -2(1)-5=-7     -2(2)-5=-9

By substituting each value of the domain of x in the function and solving it we will get the range of the function for respective domain

The given function is :

f(x) = -2x - 5

For x = -2 , f(x) is:

f(-2) = (-2*-2) - 5 = 4 - 5 = -1

For x = -1, f(x) is :

f(-1) = (-2*-1) - 5 = 2 - 5 = -3

For x = 1 , f(x) is

f(1) = (-2*1) - 5 = -2 -5 = -7

For x = 2, f(x) is

f(2) = (-2*2) - 5 = -4 -5 = -9

The range is -1 , -3 , -7 , -9

Why might algebra tiles not be a good tool to use to factor x^2 + 18x + 80? Explain.

Answers

Algebra tiles might not be a good tool to use to factor the polynomial x^2 + 18x  + 80 because you would need too many tiles and a large space to place them.

The algebra tiles procedure consists on using tiles to represent each kind of term: x^2, x and unit

It is easy to factor an expression like x^2 + 3x + 2 because you can do it placing one positive x^2 tile in the upper left corner, two x tiles on the right side of the x^2 tile, one x tile below the x^2 tile, and two unit tiles in the bottom right corner, since the factored expression is (x + 1)(x + 2).

But the factored expression of x^2 + 18x + 80 is (x + 10)(x + 8): 10 + 8 = 18 and 10 * 8 = 80.

Those factors means that the rectangle to be formed would need you to place one positive x^2 in the upper left corner, 10 x tiles on the right side of the x^2 tile, 8x tiles below the x^2 tile, and 80 unit tiles to fill the rectangle. That is not practical.

Sample Response: Algebra tiles would not be a good tool to use to factor the trinomial because you would need to drag an x-squared tile, 18 x-tiles, and 80 plus tiles. That is a total of 99 tiles. It would take a lot of time to drag that many tiles on the board and there might not be enough space to hold all of them. You would also need to determine how to arrange all those tiles to make a rectangle. Since 80 is a multiple of 10, you might recognize that 10 and 8 are the factors that add to 18, which would give you the values to use in the X method.

Rachel earned $34 dollar sign, 34 in 4 hours at her job today. She wants to know how much she could earn (e)left parenthesis, e, right parenthesis tomorrow if she works 10 hours at the same hourly rate

Answers

She gets 17 in 2 hours, and $85 in 10 hours.

Answer: Hence, She earned $85 in 10 hours at her job.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

In 4 hours at her job, amount she earned = $34

We need to find the amount she earned in 10 hours.

We will use unitary method, to find this.

In 4 hours, amount = $34

In 1 hour, amount is given by

[tex]\dfrac{34}{4}[/tex]

In 10 hours, amount is given by

[tex]\dfrac{34}{4}\times 10\\\\=\dfrac{340}{4}\\\\=\$85[/tex]

Hence, She earned $85 in 10 hours at her job.

300 pounds of oranges were purchased at $0.24 per pound. The desired markup is 50% based on selling price, but 21% spoilage is expected. What should the selling price per pound be? (Round your answer to the nearest cent)

Answers

The selling price per pound, considering 50% markup and 21% spoilage, should be approximately $2.74, rounded to nearest cent.

To find the selling price per pound, we need to consider the cost, the desired markup, and the expected spoilage.

First, let's calculate the total cost of the oranges:

Total cost = Quantity * Cost per pound

Total cost = 300 pounds * $0.24/pound

Total cost = $72

Next, let's calculate the selling price per pound with the desired markup:

Markup based on selling price = 50%

Let's denote the selling price per pound as S.

[tex]\[S = \frac{{\text{Total cost}}}{{1 - \text{Markup}}} \times (1 + \text{Markup})\]\[S = \frac{{72}}{{1 - 0.50}} \times (1 + 0.50)\]\[S = \frac{{72}}{{0.50}} \times 1.50\]\[S = 144 \times 1.50\]\[S = 216\][/tex]

So, the selling price per pound, without considering spoilage, should be $2.16.

However, since 21% spoilage is expected, we need to adjust the selling price per pound to account for the expected loss.

[tex]\[S_{\text{adjusted}} = \frac{{S}}{{1 - \text{Spoilage}}} = \frac{{2.16}}{{1 - 0.21}} = \frac{{2.16}}{{0.79}} \approx 2.738\][/tex]

Rounding to the nearest cent, the selling price per pound, accounting for expected spoilage and desired markup, should be approximately $2.74.

each blade on a windmill is in the shape of a triangle with a base of 7 feet and a height of 4 ft if there are four blades on the windmill what is the total area of the blades

Where,

b: base of the blades

h: height of the blades

Substituting values we have:

4x=48
divide by 4 to both sides
x=12
3 + 4x = 51

step 1: subtract 3 from both side 

3 + 4x - 3 = 51 - 3

Zach uses his car for business and must keep accurate driving records so that his company will reimburse him for car expenses. When he started his trip, the odometer read 26.645, When he returned home, the odometer read 28,017. Zach's car gets about 48 miles per gallon. If the tank was full at the beginning of the trip and it cost $62.28 to fill the tank at the end of the trip, what price did Zach pay per gallon?

Answers

His end mileage minus his starting mileage will give us the total number of miles he traveled.  28017-26645=1372 miles traveled.
We can divide that by his average mpg to figure out how many gallons of gas he bought:
1372/48 = 28.583 gallons.
Now divide the amount he paid by this to get the price per gallon:
62.28/28.583 = $2.179 per gallon of gas.

Lets see... we have two companies charging two different prices.  So, the first thing we need to do if find the equation of both companies. Company A: c= 0.25m+30       m is the number of miles, which costs .25 cents.  Hence, .25mCompany B: c= 0.10m+40      it charges 10 cents per mile, which is 0.10 m Now, make the two equations equal to each other.  The answer that we get will be the exact number when you pay the same cost for either company A or B.  In other words, at that number of miles you don't care which company you choose.  However, if you go beyond that number of miles or below that number of miles, it will make a difference. 0.25m+30=0.10m+40     Subtract 30 from both sides          -30              -300.25m=     0.10m+10      Subtract 0.10m from both sides  -0.10m    -0.10m0.15m= 10                      Divide both sides by 0.15     m= 66 2/3   Up to that point, company A will be the best choice.  After that particular number of miles, company B will be the better choice.
