salma purchased a prepaid phone card for $20. long distance calls cost 24 cents a minute using this card. salma used her card only once to make a long distance call. if the remaining credit on her card is $13.52. how many minutes did her call last?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: We can set up an equation to solve this problem, but first we need to write out what we know.

$20 overall
$0.24 every minute
$13.52 remaining on the card

Now that we know our information, we can set it up in an equation. 

20 - 0.24x = 13.52

The 20 represents $20 overall when she first got the phone card.
We are then subtracting $20 from how must it costs a minute (which is 24 cents). The 'x' indicates the number we are trying to find (how many minutes her call lasted). Lastly, 13.52 is the result of everything, since she has $13.52 remaining on the card.

We can now solve the equation:

20 - 0.24x = 13.52
-0.24x = 13.52 - 20 /// subtract 20 from each side
-0.24x = -6.48 /// simplify
x = 27 /// divide each side by -0.24

Our solution is: x = 27.

An easier way to solve this problem would be to first, subtract the total amount of money she had on the card when she first got it, and then the remaining total she ended up with.

$20 - $13.52 = $6.48

So, she spent a total of $6.48 on long distance calls, but since we are looking for how many minutes, we need to divide the total she spent and how much it costs per minute.

6.48 ÷ 24 = 27

We receive the same amount of minutes spent just like we did the last way we solved.

Salma spent 27 minutes on the phone.

If 30 marks is 40% what is full marks

Answers

Answer:

Let the full marks be y.

Then, the statement become : 30 marks is 40 % of y.

to solve for y;

40% of y can be written as (40)/(100) * y

Then,

from the given condition we have;

(40)/(100) * y =30

or

(4)/(10)y =30

Multiply both sides by (10)/(4) in above equation;

(4)/(10)y * (10)/(4) =30 * (10)/(4)

Simplify:

y= (300)/(4)=75

Then, the full marks (y) = 75.

Therefore,  30 marks is 40% of 75.

Check:

30 = (40)/(100) * 75

30 =0.4 * 75

30 =30                                    [True]




100% are 75 marks because,
30 + 30 = 60
(40%+40%)
then you half 30 which is 15
60+15=74
(you half the 40 and add 80 to 20
20+80=100) 75 marks

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 1 foot?

Answers

Answer:

3.14 ft² or 2,917 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, we need to know the expression to calculate the area of a circle.

The area of any circle is:

A = πr²

Where:

π: value of pi, which is 3.14

r: radius of the circle, in this case 1 ft

Calculating the area in units of ft:

A = 3.14 * (1)²

A = 3.14 ft²

Now, if you convert the foot to cm we have:

1 * 30.48 = 30.48 cm

Solvinf for A:

A = 3.14 * (30.48)²

A = 2,917.15 cm²
