Answer: The secretary's salary prior to the reduction was $42,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation:
The original secretary's salary (x) multiplied by the percentage reduction in decimal form (4.5/100) must be equal to the amount of the reduction (1890)
Mathematically speaking:
x (4.5/100)= 1890
Solving for x:
x (0.045)= 1890
x = 1890/ 0.045
x = 42,000
The secretary's salary prior to the reduction was $42,000.
Order of operations is one way
Answer:
1. The ratio of milk cartons taken to total milk cartons,
70 - 10 = 60 were taken
73/100 is the ratio of milk cartons taken to total milk cartons
2. The ratio of milk cartons remaining to milk cartons taken
10 / 60 is the ratio of milk cartons remaining to milk cartons take
Answer:
7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
it is feometeic progression
r=0.5
Probably the easiest way to do these is to convert them to slope intercept form by solving for y. When we have y=mx+b, we read off the slope m.
-5x + 2y = 10
Add 5x to both sides,
2y = 5x + 10
Divide both sides by 2,
y = (5/2) x + (10/2)
Obviously 10/2=5 but we don't care about that for this problem. We read off the slope as
Answer: 5/2, last choice
12 = 4x - 6y
Adding 6y and subtracting 12,
6y = 4x - 12
Dividing by 6,
y = (4/6) x - (12/6)
y = (2/3) x - 2
Answer: 2/3
