he price of a pair of shoes increases from $68 to $77. What is the percent increase to the nearest percent?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

an increase of 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

68 divided by 77 is 0.88 approximately

100-88 is 12

Tip:

do this for increase and decrease in percentage question

divide small number by big number, and subtract the quotient from 100

Answer 2

Answer:

13%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent increase is solved as such:

Percent Increase =  %∧ = [tex](\frac{New~Amount~-~Original~Amount}{Original~Amount}) ~*~10[/tex]

%∧ = [tex](\frac{77~-~68}{68}) ~*~100 = (\frac{9}{68}) ~*~100 = 0.13 * 100 = 13\%[/tex]

Remember you want to know what percentage the difference is compared to how much your original amount is.

Hope this helps :)

You open the brackets;

(6x-2)+ (-x+5)

6x-2-x+5

After Opening the brackets you group like terms;

6x-x-2+5

After grouping you proceed to simplify;

6x-x is going to be;

5x

And then -2+5 is going to be positive 3 it's just like subtracting 2 from 5

Answer:

[tex]m<49/12[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

[tex]y = 3x^2+7x+m[/tex]

To find x-intercept means we have to find zeros

and for finding zeros , we will use quadratic formula

and we have it has two x-intercepts  

so, it's discriminant must be greater than 0  

so, we will find discriminant

[tex]D = \sqrt{b^2-4ac}[/tex]

now, we can compare with

[tex]y=ax^2+bx+c\\y=3x^2+7x+m[/tex]

and then we can find a , b and c

a = 3, b = 7, c = m

now, we can find D

[tex]D = \sqrt{7^2-4*3*m} \\D=\sqrt{49-12m}[/tex]

It has two x-intercepts

so,

[tex]D = \sqrt{49-12m}>0[/tex]

now, we can solve for m

[tex]49-12m>0\\12m<49\\m<49/12[/tex]

The sum of 2 times a number and 8 is 7

Answers

Answer:

The number is -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

2x+8 = 7

Subtract 8 from each side

2x+8-8 = 7-8

2x = -1

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 =-1/2

x = -1/2

The number is -1/2

Answer:

2x + 8 = 7

x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

"a number" can be signified by a variable.

So 2 times a number would give you 2x

And 8 would mean to add 8.

Is 7 means the end result is 7.

So 2x + 8 = 7

x = -1/2

The data below shows the points scored and minutes played by six basketball players during the 2004-2005 season. The least squares regression line for the data is y=.79x+1544

Answers

We assume data and prediction as question is incomplete

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Least squares regression line equations are used to model the relationship that exists between two variables, dependent and independent variables. The equation has the form y=a+bx where y is the dependent variable and x is independent variable, a is a constant and is the y intercept and b is the slope of the line. This relationship is then used to predict future outcomes.

Given that data for 2004-2005 for the basketball players are :

James- 20 points

John- 30 points

Chris- 50 points

Dave-15 points

Donaldson- 32 points

Richard -40 points

We predict the scores/points for James (for example) for the following year using the equation of the regression line y=0.79x+1544

We substitute his points x=20 I'm the equation:

Y=0.79*20+1544

=1599.8

The predicted value is 1599.8

A field goal kicker makes 84% of the field goals he attempts he has attempted 50 field goals this season how many goals hs he made

Answers

Answer:

He has made 42 field goals this season

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x% of number y, multiply y by [tex]\frac{x}{100}[/tex] ⇒ [tex]\frac{x}{100}[/tex] × y

∵  A field goal kicker makes 84% of the field goals he attempts

→ That means he makes 84% of his total attempts

∵ He has attempted 50 field goals this season

→ That means his total attempts is 50 field goals

∴ He makes 84% of 50 field goals

84% = 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84

∴ He makes 0.84 of 50

∵ He makes = 0.84 × 50

∴ He makes = 42 field goals

He has made 42 field goals this season
