What are percentages?Percentages are modified fractions where the whole quantity is represented by 100.
To convert a fraction into percentages we multiply it by 100, while to convert percentages to fraction divided by 100.
How to solve the question?In the question, we are given that Paul's budget for food is 30% of the budget he has for rent.
We are asked if his budget for food is $225, what is his budget for rent.
We assume Paul's budget for rent to be $x.
We know that Paul's food's budget is 30 percent of his rent.
Hence, Paul's food budget = 30% of x.
or, Paul's budget for food = 30/100 * x {To convert percentages to fraction divided by 100}
But, we know that Paul's food budget is $225. Thus, we can show that:
225 = 30/100 * x,
or, x = (225*100)/30 = 750.
Thus, Paul's rent budget is $750, given that his food budget of $225, is 30 percent of his rent budget.

What is the answer to this system of equations? 2x - 3y= 21 and -6x + 2y = 7.
answer:
x = - 9/2
y = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
make both equations look like y =
2x-3y=21 -> -3y= -2x+21 -> y = (-2x+21)/-3 -> y = 2/3x - 7
-6x + 2y = 7 -> 2y = 6x + 7 -> y = 3x + 7/2
now make the equations equal to each other (since they both equal y)
get x
2/3x - 7 = 3x + 7/2
-7 -7/2 = 3x - 2/3x
-14/2 -7/2 = 9/3x - 2/3x
-21/2 = 7/3x
(3/7) -21/2 = x
x = (3/7) -21/2
x = - 63/14
x = - 9/2
put it back in an equation to get y
y = 3x + 7/2
y = 3(-9/2) + 7/2
y = -27/2 + 7/2
y = -20/2
y = - 10

A focus group study has always been the primary way for ABC Toys Company to gather customers' opinions for marketing strategy. In the past, when a new product was popular in the market, a focus group study had incorrectly indicated that it would be unpopular with a probability of 0.275. When a new product was unpopular, a focus group had incorrectly indicated that it would be popular with a probability of 0.175. Assume that the probability of a new product being popular in the market is 0.60. What is the probability that a new product will be unpopular if a focus group study indicates that it will be unpopular?
Using conditional probability, there is a 0.6667 = 66.67% probability that a new product will be unpopular if a focus group study indicates that it will be unpopular.
What is Conditional Probability?Conditional probability is the probability of one event happening, considering a previous event. The formula is:
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]
In which:
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.P(A) is the probability of A happening.For this problem, the events are given as follows:
Event A: Study indicates that the product is unpopular.Event B: Product is unpopular.The parameters are given as follows:
P(A) = 0.6 x 0.275 + 0.4 x 0.825 = 0.495.[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.4 \times 0.825 = 0.33[/tex]Hence the conditional probability is:
[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{0.33}{0.495} = 0.6667[/tex]

Find the area of the region that lies inside both curves.
r² = 2 sin(2θ), r=1
The area of the region that lies inside both curves r² = 2sin(2θ), r = 1 is -0.1287 square units.
How to find the area of the region that lies inside both curves?Since the curves are
r² = 2sin(2θ) and r = 1.We find their point of intersection.
So, r² = r²
2sin(2θ) = 1²
2sin(2θ) = 1
sin(2θ) = 1/2
2θ = sin⁻¹(1/2)
2θ = π/6
θ = π/12
So, we integrate the area from θ = 0 to θ = π/12
Now the area A of the region between two curves between θ = α to θ = β is
[tex]A = \int\limits^{\beta }_\alpha ({r^{2} - r^{'2} }) \, d\theta[/tex]
So, the area betwwen the curves r² = 2sin(2θ), r = 1 between θ = 0 to θ = π/12 is
[tex]A = \int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{12} }_0 ({r^{2} - r^{'2} }) \, d\theta \\= \int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{12} }_0 ({2sin2\theta - 1^{2} }) \, d\theta\\= \int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{12} }_0 ({2sin2\theta - 1}) \, d\theta\\= \int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{12} }_0 {2sin2\theta}\, d\theta - \int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{12} }_0 {1} \, d\theta\\= [2(-cos2\theta)/2 - \theta]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{12} } \\= [-cos2\theta - \theta]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{12} } \\= -cos2\frac{\pi}{12} - \frac{\pi}{12} - ( -cos2(0) - 0)\\[/tex]
[tex]= -cos2(\frac{\pi}{12}) - \frac{\pi}{12} - ( -cos2(0) - 0)\\= -cos\frac{\pi}{6}- \frac{\pi}{12} - ( -cos0 - 0)\\= -cos\frac{\pi}{6}- \frac{\pi}{12} - ( -1)\\= -(\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} ) - \frac{\pi}{12} + 1\\= -0.8660 - 0.2618 + 1\\= -1.1278 + 1\\= -0.1278[/tex]

f(x)=√x+11. Find the inverse of f(x).
Answer:
f(x)⁻¹ = (x - 11)²
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the inverse of the function, you need to (1) swap the places of the "x" and "y" variables and then (2) solve for "y". Remember, f(x) is another way of writing "y".
y = √x + 11 <----- Original equation
x = √y + 11 <----- Swap variables
x - 11 = √y <----- Subtract 11 from both sides
(x - 11)² = (√y)² <----- Square both sides
(x - 11)² = y <----- Simplify
Another way of writing the output of an inverse function is with f(x)⁻¹.

The inverse of the demand function is; P = 9 - 0.25Q
The profit-maximizing price and quantity are; $8.5 and 2 units.
The maximum profit is; $1
How to find the inverse of a function?
A) The demand function we are given is;
Q = 36 - 4P
Making P the subject gives the inverse demand function;
P = (36 - Q)/4
P = 9 - Q/4
P = 9 - 0.25Q
B) The profit-maximization point is the point at which MR = MC.
MR refers to the marginal revenue and MC is the marginal cost.
MC can be calculated as the first derivative of the cost function:
C(Q) = 4 + 4Q + Q²
MC = C'(Q) = 2Q + 4
Total Revenue = Price * Quantity
Total Revenue = (9 - 0.25Q) * Q
Total Revenue = 9Q - 0.25Q²
MR is gotten by differentiating Total Revenue to get;
MR = 9 - 0.5Q
Applying the condition MR = MC, we have;
9 - 0.5Q = 4 - 2Q
Solving for Q gives Q = 2
Thus, profit maximizing quantity is 2.
Thus, profit maximizing price will be;
P(2) = 9 - 0.25(2)
P(2) = $8.5
C) Formula for Maximum Profit is;
Profit = Total Revenue - Total Cost
Total Revenue = 8.5 * 2
Total revenue = $17
Total Cost is;
C(2) = 4 + 4(2) + 2²
C(2) = $16
Thus;
Maximum Profit = 17 - 16 = $1

How to find the dimensions of the rectangle of maximum area by optimization
In this problem we must use critical values and algebraic methods to determine to determine the dimensions of the rectangle such that the area is a maximum. The equation of the quadrilateral is formed by definition of the area of a rectangle:
A = w · h (1)
Where:
w - Width of the rectangle.h - Height of the rectangle.And the area of the entire triangle is:
0.5 · (5) · (12) = w · h + 0.5 · w · (12 - h) + 0.5 · (5 - w) · h
30 = w · h + 6 · w - 0.5 · w · h + 2.5 · h - 0.5 · w · h
30 = 6 · w + 2.5 · h
2.5 · h = 30 - 6 · w
h = 12 - 2.4 · w (2)
The quadrilateral of maximum area is always a square, then we must solve for w = h:
w = 12 - 2.4 · w
3.4 · w = 12
w = 3.529

I will solve your system by substitution.
(You can also solve this system by elimination.)
2x+y=5;x+y=6
Step: Solve 2x+y=5 for y:
2x+y+−2x=5+−2x(Add -2x to both sides)
y=−2x+5
Step: Substitute −2x+5 for yin x+y=6:
x+y=6
x+−2x+5=6
−x+5=6(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−x+5+−5=6+−5(Add -5 to both sides)
−x=1
-x/-1 = 1/-1 (Divide both sides by -1)
x=−1
Step: Substitute −1 for x in y=−2x+5:
y=−2x+5
y=(−2)(−1)+5
y=7(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
x=−1 and y=7

Which equation is represented by the graph below?
A y=In x-3
B y=In x-4
C y=e^3 -3
D y=e^3 -4
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume that for C and D, you meant e^x.
Since the function is defined at 0, eliminate A and B (since ln 0 is undefined)
Between C and D, we know that when x=0, e^x = 1. Since the y intercept of the graph is -3, this means the equation is y = e^x - 4.
Mark and paula are storing masks. Paula has 70% of the total number of masks. If paula has 840 more masks thatn mark, how many masks should paula give to mark si they both have an equal number of masks
Answer:
1050 masks per person.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Create an equation to find the total number of masks
2) Solve equation and divide total by 2 to get the number of masks that can be given to both Mark and Paula so that they have equal number.
1) Since Paula has 70% of the total masks, it can be represented as 0.7 * t where t is the variable representing the total number of masks. Mark on the other hand has the remaining number of masks out of 100% which is 30%. We can express that as 0.3. We multiply that by t because he has 30% of the masks. The final equation we have is 0.3t + 840 = 0.7t. 840 because Paula has 840 more masks than Mark.
2) Solve by subtracting 0.3t from both sides leaving you with 0.4t = 840. We divide both sides by 0.4 to get 2100. That is the total number of masks. If we divide that number by 2, we get 1050.
