Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

16° F.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The current temperature in Small town is 27 °F.

This is 5 degrees less than twice the temperature that it was six hours ago.

Question asked

What was the temperature in Small town six hours ago?

Solution:

Let the temperature in Small town six hours ago was $x$

As given that the current temperature in Small town is 27 °F and this is 5 degrees less than twice the temperature of six hours ago, the equation will be:-

27 °F = 5 degrees less than twice the temperature of six hours ago

27 °F = $2x-5$ °

Adding both sides by 5

$27+5=2x-5+5\n32=2x$

Dividing both sides by 2

$(32)/(2) =(2x)/(2) \n16=x$

Thus, the temperature in Small town six hours ago was 16° F.

A house cost $120,000 when it was purchased. The value of the house increases by 10% each year. What is the rate of growth each month?select the correct answer below.A) 0.797%
B) 0.00797%
C) 0.833%
D) 0.00833%

Answers

Answer: C) 0.833%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Cost price of house = $120,000

The rate of increase of its cost = 10%

Therefore, the increase amount of house per year =10% of $120,000

$=(10)/(100)*120000=\$12,000$

Now, the amount increase each month= $(12000)/(12)=\$1000$

Let r be the rate of growth each month, then

r% of $120,000=1000

$\Rightarrow(r)/(100)*120000=1000\n\Rightarrow\ r*1200=1000\n\Rightarrow\ r=(1000)/(1200)=0.833\%$

Answer:

0.797%

The sum of two numbers is 30.the first number is 1/5 of the second number. what are the numbers?

Answers

the 2md number can be y. This makes the first number 1/5 of y

Your equation is y + 1/5y = 30
You can randomly plug in numbers and you get that the first number is 5. This means that the second number is 25
