One newspaper reported that the mayor received a salary increase of 5%.Another paper reported that the mayor’s salary went up $2000. What was the mayor’s salary before the increase?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$1900

Step-by-step explanation:

5% increase is $100 dollar

Answer 2

Answer:

Let

x= Mayor’s previous salary

y=his increased salary

5% increase means

(105/100)*x=y——-(1)

From the other reporter

The Mayor’s salary went up $2000

:. y-x=2000———-(2)

Put y= (105/100)*x into equation 2

105x/100 -x =2000

Multiply through by 100

105x-100x=200000

5x=200000

Divide both sides by 5

x=40000

Hence his previous salary was $40,000 and current one is

y=2000 +40000

y=$42000

Step-by-step explanation: from your question, you didn’t state whether it went up by 2000 or went to 2000. I chose went by 2000. If it were to be went to 2000 , the equation will be different. It would been 2000-x=y

Which function's graph is shown below?

Answers

Answer:

B: y=sinx

Step-by-step explanation:

the parent sine function is a repeating function that goes from 0 to 1, with sin(0)=0 sin(pi/2)=1 sin(pi)=0 sin(3pi/2)=-1 and sin(2pi)=0, π≈3.1415926 and we see on this graph that the graph matches at all these major points.

the cosine parent function is essentially the same thing but shifted to the left by π/2. It is essential to familiarize yourself with the unit circle and the key angles and their respective sin and cosine values.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

m=2 and n=16 , p = {1-6 =-5}  then;

1.  m+10 = 2+10 = 12

2. n-4 = 16-4 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the radius: 6 ÷ 2 = 3m

Circumference = 2r with pi = 3cm x 3.14cm x 2 = 18.84m

Area = pi x 3cm x 3cm = 28.27m2

Given:

Diameter of circle = 6 m

The value of pi = 3.14

To be calculated:

Calculate the circumference and area of given triangle.

Formula applied:

Circumference of circle = 2πr

Area of circle = πr²

Solution:

Radius,r = diameter/2 => 6/2 = 3 m

( i ) As we know that formula of circumference,

Circumference of circle = 2πr

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship involving the adjacent side and the hypotenuse:

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Multiplying by 12 gives x:

AB is parallel to CD
Find the value of X
Find the value of Y

Answers

Answer:

∠y° = ∠69°

∠x = ∠69°

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The question relates to parallel line theorem

The given parameters are;

AB is parallel to CD

∠111° and ∠y° are consecutive interior angles

∠69° and ∠x° are alternate interior angles

When two parallel lines are crossed by a common transversal, the consecutive interior angles are supplementary (sum up to 180°), and the alternate interior angles are equal

Therefore, we have;

∠111° + ∠y° = 180°

∠y° = 180° - ∠111° = ∠69°

∠y° = ∠69°

2) For the alternate interior angles, ∠69° and ∠x°, we have;

Alternate angles are equal, therefore ∠x = ∠69°

Consider two people where one person is 25% taller than the other but proportion in exactly the same way That the taller person looks like a lager version of the shorter person Suppose the shorter person has a 36%-inch waist what size is the the taller person's waist?

Answers

Answer:

46.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Taller person = 30% more than height of shorter individual

Waist size of shorter person = 36 inches

Since they are proportioned in the same way:

Waist size of the taller person will be 30% larger than the waist size of the shorter person :

30% increase in size 36

(100 + 30)% of 36

130% of 36

(130 / 100) * 36

1.3 * 36

= 46.8 inches

Answers

Answer:

92%

Step-by-step explanation:

since i helped can i have brainlst please that would be greatly apericated

Answer:

85%

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 80 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100% = 80.

Step 4: In the same vein, x% = 68.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

100% = 80(1)

x% = 68(2)

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left-hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

100%/x% = 80/68

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

x%/100% = 68/80

__>x = 85%

Therefore, 68 is 85% of 80.

Answer:

x = -5 and y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to start by writing these two equations:

x + y = -3

and

x - y = -7

Then, you want to add the solutions to these two equations, like so:

-3 + -7 = -10

Then, to find the x value, because x > y, divide the answer by two:

-10/2 = -5

So, the x value is -5.

With this information, you can figure out that the y value is 2.

Check the answer:

-5 + 2 = -3

-5 - 2 = -7

What is the apparent solution to the system of equations?

Answers

Answer:

y=−x+2y=4x+7   NO

y=−x+2               YES

y=4x+7            

Multiply the first equation by 4, obtaining:              4y = -4x + 8

Add the 2nd equation to this result:                          y = 4x  + 7

                                                                            --------------------

                                                                                5y = 15, and y = 3

Then, using the first equation, determine x:

y = 3 = -x + 2

      1 = -x, so x = -1

The solution is (-1, 3)

Answer: (-1; 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -x + 2

y = 4x + 7

4x + 7 = -x + 2

4x + 7 + x - 7 = - x + 2 + x - 7

5x = - 5

x = - 1

y = 4(-1) + 7

y = 3
