Andy bought 300 shares of a corporation that manufactures kitchen cabinets. He
bought the stock years ago for x dollars. He recently sold this stock for y dollars.
Express his capital gain as a percent of the original purchase price algebraically.

Answers

Answer 1

The equation for capital gain as a percent of the original purchase price will be equal to a = (y - x)/x × 100.

What is an expression?

If a mathematical operation includes at least two words that are connected by an operator and either comprise numbers, variables, or both, it is referred to as an expression.

The operations with reflection coefficients include adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. A mathematical operation like reduction, addition, multiplication, or division is used to include terms in an expression.

As per the given information in the question,

Use the equation for capital gain,

Let the selling price be y and the purchase price is x dollars.

Capital gain = Selling price - Purchase

Substitute the values,

Capital gain = y - x

Now, let's find out the percent increase.

Let's assume that 'a' is the percent increase.

So, the equation will be,

(a)(x) = y - x

ax = y - x

Divide both sides by x.

(ax)/x = (y - x)/x

a = (y - x)/x

Multiply the equation by 100 to show in percentage form,

a = (y - x)/x × 100

A ladder leans against the side of a house the top ladder is 16 ft from the ground the bottom of the ladder is 12 ft from the side of the house find the length of the ladder if necessary round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answers

Answer:

[tex] {h =}^{2} = {p}^{2} \: + {b}^{2} [/tex]

[tex] {h}^{2} = {16}^{2} + {12}^{2} [/tex]

[tex] {h}^{2} = 256 + 144[/tex]

At a football game, 65% of people attending were supporting the home team, while 35% were supporting the visiting team. If 1300 people attending the game supported the home team, what was the total number of people attending the game? HELP ME I NEED AN A IN MATH!

Answers

Answer: 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage supporting home team = 65%

Percentage supporting visiting team = 35%

Number of people supporting home team = 1300

Let the total number of people attending the game be represented by x.

Therefore, 65% of x = 1300

65/100 × x = 1300

0.65 × x = 1300

0.65x = 1300

x = 1300 / 0.65

x = 2000

Therefore 2000 people attended the game.

Step-by-step explanation:

FD is an angle bisector and divides the opposite side into segments that are proportional to the other 2 sides, that is

[tex]\frac{24}{54}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{x+10}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

54x = 24(x + 10)

54x = 24x + 240 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

30x = 240 ( divide both sides by 30 )

x = 8

For which of the following equations is (-3,-2) not a solution?

Answers

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Just add the numbers and if they both got negative numbers it is negative

No equation in the answer choices has a solution pair of (-3,-2) as as evident from the computation below.

Solution pair for Equations

To determine which equations are not satisfied by the solution pair; (-3,-2), we must substitute the solution pair into each equation as follows;

−3x=4y−6; -3(-3) = 4(-2) - 6; 9 = -14; False

y=x−1; -2 = -3 -1; -2 = -4; False

5x+2y=−16; 5(-3) + 2(-2) = -16; -19 = -16; False

2(-2) - 3(-3) = 0; +5 = 0; False

It follows form the computation above that, the solution pair is not a solution to any of the equation choices.

Remarks:

Select one: a. −3x=4y−6 b. y=x−1 c. 5x+2y=−16 d. 2y−3x=0

Which is a solution of 2x(8x + 5) (7x – 13) = 0?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This has 3 solutions

2x = 0                          Divide by 2

x = 0

8x + 5 = 0                   Subtract 5 from both sides

8x = - 5                       Divide by 8

x = - 5/8

x = -0.625

7x - 13 = 0                   Add 13 to both sides

7x = 13                         Divide by 7

x = 13/7

x = 1.86

Roscoe is locked outside his house.The only unlocked window is on the 2nd floor which is 24 feet from the ground. He will have to borrow a ladder from the neighbors house and place it 7 feet from the house. What length of ladder does he need to reach the 2nd floor safely

Answers

Answer:

25 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario above can be modeled and solved Using Pythagoras :

Height to second floor = 24 feets

Horizontal Distance between foot of ladder and wall = 7 feets

Let length of ladder = x

The lengtb of ladder here is the hypotenus

Recall:

Hypotenus = sqrt(opposite² + adjacent²)

Hence,

x = sqrt(24² + 7²)

x = sqrt(576 + 49)

x = sqrt(625)

x = 25

Hence, length of ladder = 25 feets

A cone has a volume of 565.2 cubic millimeters and a radius of 6 millimeters. What is its
height?
Use I 3.14 and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

Answer:

h = 15 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The volume of a cone, V = 565.2 cubic millimeters

The radius of the cone, r = 6 mm

We need to find its height. The formula for the volume of the cone is given by :

[tex]V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h[/tex]

Where

h is the height of the cone

[tex]h=\dfrac{3V}{\pi r^2}\\\\h=\dfrac{3\times 565.2 }{3.14 \times 6^2}\\\\h=15\ mm[/tex]

So, the height of the cone is equal to 15 mm.
