Washington College has many students enrolled in their engineering program. Engineering students at Washington College last year received an average of $9,600 in scholarships and grants. This year, the average is $5,184. What is the percent of change in the average amount received? Was this an increase or decrease?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The percent of change in the average amount received was 46% and this was a decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the following formula to calculate the percentage of change:

% of change = ((New number-Original number) / Original Number) x 100

New number= 5,184

Original number= 9,600

Now, you can replace the values in the formula:

% of change = ((5,184-9,600) / 9,600) x 100

% of change = (-4,416 / 9,600) x 100

% of change = (-0.46) x 100

% of change = -46%

According to this, the answer is that the percent of change in the average amount received was 46% and this was a decrease.

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information provided, there is a proportional relationship between the cost of the apples and the weight of the apples as well as between the number of toppings and the cost of the pizza.

We know that there is a proportional relationship when there is a linear increase  or decrease in the two quantities in the relationship. This increase or decrease is usually by a constant value.

In the relationship between the weight of apples and the cost of apples, the cost of apples increases steadily by $1.88 which shows a proportional relationship.

Also, in the relationship between the number of toppings and the cost of pizza, the cost of pizza increases by $1.5 which shows a proportional relationship between the two.

A boat is pulled in by means of a winch located on a dock 10 feet above the deck of the boat. Let the angle of elevation ø = 18 degrees. Find the length s of the rope.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  32.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable relationship between angle and triangle lengths is ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

The dock height is the side of the triangle opposite the given angle. The desired length is the hypotenuse of the triangle, so we have ...

  sin(18°) = (10 ft)/s

  s = (10 ft)/sin(18°) = (10/0.30902) ft

  s ≈ 32.4 ft

The length of the rope is about 32.4 feet.

A land developer wants to divide up 9/10 of an acre Of land into equally sized lots for houses. He wants to build nine houses. How big can he make each lot? Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or a mixed number

Answers

Answer:

1/10 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

A land developer wants to divide up 9/10 of an acre Of land into equally sized lots for houses. He wants to build nine houses. How big can he make each lot?

This is calculated as:

1 lot = 1 house

Hence:

9 house = 9/10 acres

1 house = x

Cross Multiply

9x = 9/10 acres

x = 9/10 ÷ 9

x = 9/10 × 1/9

x = 1/10 acres

Hence, the size of each lot when divided equally = 1/10 acres

A store owner buys cell phones for $40 and marks up the price by 25%. What is the sale price of a phone?

Answers

Answer:

$50

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of the cell phone bought p = $40

% of markup in price = 25%

Selling price of the cell phone = p + (%)p

Selling price of the cell phone = P + (0.25)p

Selling price of the cell phone = p + 0.25p

Selling price of the cell phone = 1.25p

Selling price of the cell phone = 1.25 * $40

Selling price of the cell phone = $50

The price of a can of green beans is raised from $0.50 to $0.60. What is the percent increase in the price of the can of green beans?

Answers

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the percentage increase in the price of a can of green beans

Mathematically, we use the formula below;

(new price - old price)/old price * 100%

From the question;

old price = $0.50

new price = $0.60

So we have;

(0.6-0.5)/0.5 * 100%

= 0.1/0.5 * 100%

= 20%

On every fourth visit to the hair salon, you receive a discount of $5. On every tenth visit, you receive a free hair product. After how many visits do you receive the discount and a free product at the same time?

Answers

To work this out you will need to find the lowest common factor of 4 and 10 since that is when you get there product and discount, therefore the lcm is 20, and therefore that is your answer (20)!

The number of visits when you would receive a discount and a free product at the same time is on the 20th visit.

What is a multiple?

A multiple of a number is the product of an integer and that number. For example a multiple of 10 is 120. This is because the product of 10 and 12 is 120.

When would you receive both a discount and a free product?

In order to determine the number of visit, the multiple of 4 and 10 has to be determined. The first common multiple is required answer

The first ten multiples of 4 = 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40

The first ten multiples of 10 = 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100
