Sandra saves 12% of her salary for retirement. This year her salary was $3000 more than in the previous year, and she saved $4200. What was her salary in the previous year?

Answers

Answer 1

The previous year's salary is x.

This year's salary is x + 3000.

12% of this year's salary is $4200.

12% * (x + 3000) = 4200

0.12(x + 3000) = 4200

x + 3000 = 35,000

x = 32,000

Answer: Her salary in the previous year was $32,000.

the area of a triangle is 1,440cm2. the base of the triangle is 5 times the height what is the height of the triangle

Answers

Answer: 576

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a triangle you do base times the height divided by two. Now that you have the area and the base you just have to do the opposite

So you would do 1,440*2 = 2,880

Then you would divide 2,880 from 5. 2,880/5=576

So the answer is 576

10 ≥ 9 + v

Please show work!

Answers

Remember to isolate the variable. Subtract 9 from both sides

10 (-9) ≥ 9 (-9) + v

10 - 9 ≥ v

Simplify. Combine like terms

1 ≥ v

1 ≥ v is your answer

hope this helps

10 ≥ 9 + v

Remember, we want to work out what v is, which means we need to get it alone one one side of the inequality.

Therefore, we need to minus 9 from both sides so that the v is isolated:

10 - 9 ≥ 9 + v - 9

The 10 - 9 becomes 1, and the 9 + v - 9 just becomes v as 9 - 9 cancels out to nothing:

1 ≥ v

Therefore, the answer is 1 ≥ v, or rather, v ≤ 1. (v is less than or equal to 1.)

Dr. Jimenez found that after applying an antibiotic to bacteria, he observed only 90% of the bacteria left in the culture dish each hour. If the initial bacteria count was 100, what was the bacteria count after 5 hours? Round to the nearest whole number.

There were ___ bacteria after 5 hours.

Answers

Answer:
There were 59 bacteria after 5 hours.

The complete statement is:

There were 59 bacteria after 5 hours

The initial population of the bacteria is given as:

[tex]a =100[/tex]

The proportion left after each hour is given as:

[tex]b = 90\%[/tex]

An exponential function is represented as:

[tex]f(x) = ab^x[/tex]

Substitute values for (a) and (b)

[tex]f(x) = 100 \times (90\%)^x[/tex]

Express percentage as decimal

[tex]f(x) = 100 \times (0.9)^x[/tex]

After 5 hours, the value of x is 5

i.e. x = 5

So, we have:

[tex]f(x) = 100 \times (0.9)^5[/tex]

Evaluate the exponent

[tex]f(x) = 100 \times 0.59049[/tex]

Multiply

[tex]f(x) = 59.049[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = 59[/tex]

Grady marks down some $4.59 pens to $4.09 for a week and then marks them back up to $4.59. Find the percent of increase and the percent of decrease to the nearest tenth. Are the percents of change the same for both price changes? If not, which is a greater change? Complete the explanation, and round your percents to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Final answer:

The percentage decrease in price from $4.59 to $4.09 is 10.9%, while the percentage increase from $4.09 to $4.59 is 12.2%. Therefore, the percentages of change are not the same and the percentage increase is a greater change.

Explanation:

To calculate the percentage decrease in price from $4.59 to $4.09, we subtract $4.09 from $4.59, then divide by the original price of $4.59, and multiply by 100: (($4.59 - $4.09) / $4.59) * 100 = 10.9%. Therefore, the percentage decrease is 10.9%.

For the percentage increase from $4.09 back to $4.59, we similarly subtract $4.09 from $4.59, divide by the 'new' original price of $4.09, and multiply by 100: (($4.59 - $4.09) / $4.09) * 100 = 12.2%. Therefore, the percentage increase is 12.2%.

The resultant decrease and increase percentages are not the same. The percentage increase of 12.2% is a greater change compared to the 10.9% decrease.

calculate the mean, median,and mode

Answers

To calculate the median: you want to organize all the numbers in it's data so it should look like this:  2, 5, 5, 8, 10, 12, 18, 20.

Now that it is organized look for the middle number so 9 is our median. I got this by adding 8 + 10 which equals 18 then dividing it by 2. So anytime you have 2 middle numbers add them then divide it by 2 it will always be your median.

To determine the mode: look for the number the occurs the most. I only see two 5's so the answer is 5 for our mode.

To determine the mean: Add all the numbers together then divide it by how many numbers there are so there are 8 numbers divide it by 8 after we add them.

2+5+5+8+10+12+18+20= 80 divide it by 8 and it equals 10. So 10 is the mean.

A group of hikers walks 2 miles east and then 1 mile north. After taking a break, they then hike 4 miles east to their final destination. What vector describes their hike from their starting position to their final destination? Let 1 unit represent 1 mile.

Answers

Answer:

Intensity of the vector is v= √37 ≈ 6.08 units and make angle ∡α ≈ 9.46° with east direction

Step-by-step explanation:

Required vector is consists of the two components

vx= 2+4=6 units  and vy= 1 unit and vx ⊥ vy

We will use Pythagorian theorem to find intensity of the vector v

v∧2 = vx∧2 + vy∧2 => v = √vx∧2 + vy∧2 = √6∧2 + 1∧2 = √36+1 = √37 ≈ 6.08 units

The angle ∡α between vector and east direction we wil find with tanα

tanα = 1/6 => α = arc tanα = arc 1/6 => α ≈ 9.46°

Good luck!!!

the negative sign tells you to move the decimal to the left.

Equation Given: 3.56 x 10^-5  

Simple Explanatio: Lets start with this 10^-5 since the exponents is a negative you must subtract the exponent from the base and after you do so this is what your left with -5 and now since we have done the work lets rewrite the answer as 3.56 x 10^-5 the equation may not be changed but that's how i was told to do it and now solve. The decimal in 3.56 will be moved to the left five times because this equation has an negative exponent not a positive so you should end up with the simple answer of 0.0000356

Answer:

for anyone in the future that needs this the answer is The rule (x,y) ----> (x+2, y-4) represents a translation 2 units RIGHT and 4 units DOWN

Step-by-step explanation:


A translation is a transformation that moves every point in a figure in the same direction by the same amount. The rule (x, y)→(x+2, y−4) represents a translation of 2 units right and 4 units downwards

What is translation?

A translation is a transformation that moves every point in a figure in the same direction by the same amount. It is also a sort of transformation in which each point in a figure is moved the same distance in the same direction resulting in the same figure again.

For any graph, if the value of x is increased it moves in the right direction while it moves in the left direction if the value is decreased.

Similarly, For any graph, if the value of y is increased it moves upwards while it moves in downwards if the value is decreased.

Now, as per the given rule of transformation, (x, y)→(x+2, y−4), the graph will translate 2 units right and 4 units downwards.

Hence, The rule (x, y)→(x+2, y−4) represents a translation 2 units right and 4 units downwards.

Which statement is true about polynomial 5s^6t^2 + 6st^9 - 8s^6t^2 - 6t^7 after it has been fully simplified?

Answers

The polynomial 55° + 6st - 85° - 6t has 4 terms and a degree of 10 after it has been fully simplified.

To determine the number of terms in a polynomial, count the separate algebraic expressions that are added or subtracted. In this case, the polynomial is composed of four distinct terms: 55°, 6st, -85°, and -6t.

Next, the degree of a term in a polynomial is the highest power of its variable. Examine each term to identify the variable and its corresponding exponent. The term 55° has a degree of 0 since any nonzero constant raised to the power of 0 is 1. Both 6st and -6t have a degree of 2, as the variables s and t are raised to the power of 1. Lastly, the term -85° has a degree of 1.

To find the overall degree of the polynomial, identify the term with the highest degree. In this case, it is the term 6st, which has a degree of 2. Therefore, the fully simplified polynomial has four terms and a degree of 2, making the correct statement: "It has 4 terms and a degree of 10."

Complete question :-

Answers

Answer:

42%

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the conditional probability in this case

We use conditional probability when two cases occur are dependent.

So by using:

[tex]\frac{P(A\capB)}{P(B)}[/tex]

Here, A is the event of experience needed.

And B is the event of part-time

Substituting the values in the formula we get:

[tex]\frac{6}{14}=.42[/tex]

Intersection of experience needed and part-time is 6

And part-time total is 6+8=14

To get in percent we will multiply it by 100

42% is the required probability.

Given that m∠BDC = 47°, m∠CAB = 52°, and m∠BEC = 99°
Is there enough evidence to prove that . If so, explain.
(3 points)

Answers

The given figure is a rectangle.

Given angles are- m∠BDC = 47°, m∠CAB = 52°, and m∠BEC = 99°

The sum of the angles m∠BDC = 47°, m∠CAB = 52° is the measure of  m∠BEC  which is 99°

This is sufficient to prove. Measure of angle A and D are 90 degrees each as they are right angles triangles. So, inner angle A is 90-52 = 38 degrees. Inner angle D will be    90-47  =43 degrees.

Measure of triangle AED = 180 degrees

Let inner E = x

then, 38+43+x=180

x=99 degrees

Outer E and inner are vertical angles and so, they are same.

Moreover, triangles AED and BEC are same so E is 99 degrees
