Average attendance at a school’s basketball games increased from 1,000 to 1,500 last year. One student said that represented a 150% increase. Explain the student’s mistake. What is the actual percent increase?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1,000 is 100% of the attendance, 500 is half of 1,000 meaning it's 50%.

I think the student added 50% and 100%, they could have also divided 1,500 by 10.

Answer 2

The actual percent increase would be equal to 50 percent.

How to find the percentage from the total value?

Suppose the value of which a thing is expressed in percentage is "a'

Suppose the percent that considered thing is of "a" is b%

Then since percent shows per 100 (since cent means 100), thus we will first divide the whole part in 100 parts and then we multiply it with b so that we collect b items per 100 items(that is exactly what b per cent means). Thus, that thing in number is [tex]\dfrac{a}{100} \times b[/tex]

We have been given that the Average attendance at a school’s basketball games increased from 1,000 to 1,500 last year. a student said that represented a 150% increase.

Since 1,000 is 100% of the attendance, 500 is half of 1,000 which means that it's 50%.

The student added 50% and 100%, they could have also divided;

1,500 by 10

Therefore, the actual percent increase would be equal to 50 percent.

I don't know the first question, the test wouldn't tell me:/

Angle C, Angle Z, Angle A, and Angle W are all angles whose cosine equals 35 and the statement that Sin B is greater than Sin Y is false.

What is a similar triangle?

The two triangles are said to be similar that have the same proportion of sides and angles.

Corresponding sides are in the same ratio.

a/p = b/q = c/r

In triangle ABC

AB = 5, AC = 3, BC = 4

Cos A = base/ hypotenuse

          = 3/5

Cos B = base/ hypotenuse

          = 4/5

Cos C = base/ hypotenuse

          = 3/5

In triangle WYZ

Cos W = base/ hypotenuse

           =  3/5

Cos Z = base/ hypotenuse

          = 4/5

Hence, Angle C, Angle Z, Angle A, and Angle W are all angles whose cosine equals 35.

In triangle WYZ

WY = 13

In triangle ABC

CB = 24, AC = 10

Sin B = Perpendicular/ hypotenuse

         = 10/26

Sin Y = Perpendicular/ hypotenuse

        = 5/13

Since both angles are equal also they are similar to each other.

Therefore, the statement that Sin B is greater than Sin Y is false.

The measure of ABD is (0.18x + 67) degrees and the measure of CBD is (0.07 + 48) degrees. Find the value of X

Answers

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]ABD = 0.18x +67[/tex]

[tex]CBD = 0.07x + 48[/tex]

Required

Find x

The question is incomplete as the relationship between ABD and CBD is not stated.

Assume ABD = CBD

The solution is:

[tex]0.18x + 67 = 0.07x + 48[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]0.18x - 0.07x= - 67 + 48[/tex]

[tex]0.11x= -19[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x = -\frac{19}{0.11}[/tex]

[tex]x = -172.72[/tex]

Assume ABD and CBD are supplementary

The solution is:

[tex]ABD + CBD=180[/tex]

[tex]0.18x + 67 + 0.07x + 48 = 180[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]0.18x + 0.07x = - 48 - 67 + 180[/tex]

[tex]0.25x = 65[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x = \frac{65}{0.25}[/tex]

[tex]x = 260[/tex]

Assume ABD and CBD are complementary

The solution is:

[tex]ABD + CBD=90[/tex]

[tex]0.18x + 67 + 0.07x + 48 = 90[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]0.18x + 0.07x = - 48 - 67 + 90[/tex]

[tex]0.25x = -25[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x = \frac{-25}{0.25}[/tex]

[tex]x = -100[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

 

Make sure you are dealing with the same values in your directions.

1. State which two students you are studying so your instructor knows for whom each partner is responsible.  Harrison and Anita

2. Provide an exponential function representing Anita's social media shares.

f(x)= 41(2)^x

3. Provide an exponential function representing Juan's social media shares.

f(x)= 4^x

4. Using the functions for each student, predict how many shares each student's post will have received on Day 3 and then on Day 10. Justify your answers.

Harrison

f(x) =7(2)^x = f(3) = 7(2)^3 = 7(8) = 56

f(x) =7(2)^10 = f(10) = 7(2)^10 = 7(1024) = 7,168

Anita

f(x)= 41(2)^x = f(3) = 41(2)^3 = 41(8) = 328

f(x) =41(2)^10 = f(10) = 41(2)^10 = 41(1024) = 41,984

5. Based on your results, which student's post travels the fastest? How is this shown in the equation form of the functions?

Between students Harrison and Anita the post that travels the fastest was Anita at 41,984 posts.  

f(x) = 41(2)^10  

6. If you had to choose, would you prefer a post with fewer friends initially but more shares or more friends initially but fewer shares? Does your partner agree or disagree? Can you think of reasons why more or fewer shares are preferable? Justify your answer with your calculations from previous questions.

Fewer friends initially but more shares.  If you want a post to go viral you want more shares with more people. The post was viewed 41,984 times in 10 days.

This represents sharing with 2 friends for 3 days.

f(x)= 41(2)^x = f(3) = 41(2)^3 = 41(8) = 328

This represents sharing with 2 friends for 10 days.

f(x) =41(2)^10 = f(10) = 41(2)^10 = 41(1024) = 41,984

What’s the value of x?

Explain

Answers

Answer:

x= -7

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to first add 5 to the -5. Even though the - is a subtraction sign, you can still count it as a subtraction sign. In order to balance it out again, so you add the 5 to the 16. 16+5=21, so the equation would be -3x=21. To get x by itself, you divide by -3. So, -3x/-3 and 21/-3. That gets rid of the -3, and you get a -7 as an answer.  

the anwser is x= 7 thank you

Last year, a lighting supplier called Bright Idea shipped a total of 37,220 lamps to its distributors. This year, the supplier shipped 29,776 lamps. What is the percent of decrease in the number of lamps shipped annually?

Answers

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Last years shipment= 37220  lamps

These years shipment= 29776 lamps

% Decrease= Initial-Final/Initial*100

% Decrease= 37220-29776/29776*100

% Decrease= 7444/29776*100

% Decrease= 0.25*100

% Decrease= 25%

Hence the decrease is 25%

The path of a projectile launched from a 26-ft-tall tower is modeled by the equation y = −16t2 + 64t + 26. What is the maximum height, in feet, reached by the projectile?

Answers

Answer:

The maximum height of the projectile is 90 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the maximum height reached by the projectile

The answer here will be the y-coordinate value of the vertex form of the given equation

so firstly, we have to write the equation in the vertex form

We have this as;

y = -16t^2 + 64t + 26

That will be;

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

y = -16(x-2)^2 + 90

where the vertex of the equation is;

(-h,k)

K

in this case is 90 and thus, that is the maximum height of the projectile
