Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
When doing these types of problems, we convert the percent to a decimal. In this case,
40%=0.4
0.4*20=8
Answer:
48 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
First container = x
Second container has twice as much oil.
Second container = 2x
13 liters of oil was used from first container.
x - 13
7 liters of oil was used from the second container.
2x - 7
Second container has 3 times more oil than the first one.
2x - 7 = 3(x - 13)
x - 7 = 3(x - 13)
x - 7 = 3x - 39
2x = 32
x = 16
First container = 16 liters
second container = 16 x 2 = 32 liters
Total = 16 + 32 = 48 liters
We have been given a right angled triangle, hypotenuse is known, and angle has been given. we need to find the adjacent side to the angle.
we use trigonometry ratios.
the ratio where we relate the hypotenuse and adjacent side is the cosine.
cos θ = adjacent side / hypotenuse
where θ = 39°
hypotenuse - 17 m
adjacent side - x
we need to solve for x
cos 39° = x / 17
cos 39° = 0.77
0.7771 = x/17
x = 0.7771 x 17
x = 13.21 m
distance from Roman's feet to the base of the pole is 13.21
First find out what 5% of 900 is.
0.05 * 900 = 45
Now subtract this from 900.
900 - 45 = 855
So £900 decreased by 5% is £855.
