So,
53,879 rounded to the nearest hundred:
If the number in the tens place is greater than or equal to 5, then round up. If not, round down.
7 is greater than or equal to 5, so round up.
53,879 --> 53,900
Answer:
52
Step-by-step explanation:
.................................
The answer to the question is 11/14
Cost of fuel = 30% of $400 000 = 30/100 x 400000 = $120 000
Fuel amount = $120 000/$1.5 = 80 000 liters
new cost of fuel = 80000 x $1.6 = $144 000
increase in cost = 144000 - 120000 = $24000
So the increase in petrol price increases the operating cost by $24000
I'd suggest you begin by subtracting 4 / (x-4) from both sides. Doing that would leave you with 1 / (x-4) - 2 / (x+2) = 0.
LCD is (x-4)(x+2). Mult. all three terms by (x-4)(x+2). The resulting equation is
x+2 - 2(x-4) = 0. Then x+2 = 2x - 8 => x = 10
Subst. 10 for x in the original equation to verify that 10 is indeed a solution.
