80 percent of 90 is the same as 40 percent of what number?

    80% of 90 may be found by multiply 90 by 0.8. Once you have that number, you can use it to set up a proportion with 2/5 (the simplified form of 40/100). Thus, you will write out 72/x = 2/5, since x is the number that you're solving for. Multiply numerators and denominators of opposite fractions to get the equation 72(5) = 2x. Finally, simplify 360 = 2x by dividing both sides by 2 to isolate the variable. You should have your answer by now.

company a

step-by-step explanation:

using the linear regression models , it is found that company a   pays about $14 more. but using the same regression (linear) company b pays about $10 more.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

(7 x + 6 y) (49 x^2 - 42 x y + 36 y^2)

discussion:

the trick is to recognize that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 and, in general,

a^3 + b^3 =   (a + b) (a^2 - a b + b^2).

in our case

343x^3+216y^3   =   (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

so take a = 7x and b = 6y in the above equation to get the answer.

you,
