Which is another way to check the sum of 104+34+228+877?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: A simple method of checking the sum of arithmetic problems is by using the "digit sum" method. The digit sum can be obtained by adding the digits of a number together, until you get a single-digit number. In case you get a double-digit number, just add them again until you get a single digit number.

Let's try it with an example.

Given the numbers 143, 876, and 534, their digit sums would be:
144 : 1 + 4 + 3 = 9 (same as 0)
876 : 8 + 7 + 6 = 21; 2 + 1 = 3
534 : 5 + 3 + 4 = 12; 1 + 2 = 3

Getting the digit sum is actually getting the number modulo 9, which in other words, is the remainder of that number divided by 9. Since you now have an understanding of the digit sum, how can it be used to check the sum of the problem above?

By comparing the sum of the digit sums of the addends and the digit sum of the obtained sum, you can determine if the arithmetic process was done correctly. Let us do this below:

104 + 34 + 228 + 877 = 1243

Using the digit sum method:

104 : 1 + 0 +4 = 5
34 : 3 + 4 = 7
228 : 2 + 2 + 8 = 12; 1 + 2 = 3
877 : 8 + 7 + 7 = 22; 2 + 2 = 4

adding the digit sums of the addends:

5 + 7 + 3 + 4 = 19; 1 + 0 = 1

Comparing with the digit sum of the sum (1243):

1 + 2 + 4 + 3 = 10; 1 + 0 = 1 (OK)

As we can see, the digit sums are the same, so we can say that the arithmetic process has been done correctly.

The solution to an equation is 21

Answers

an solution to an equation = 21 would be something like 2p + 7

if you wanna know how to solve this 
here is how:
Simplifying 2p + 7 = 21 Reorder the terms: 7 + 2p = 21 Solving 7 + 2p = 21 Solving for variable 'p'. Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-7' to each side of the equation. 7 + -7 + 2p = 21 + -7 Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0 0 + 2p = 21 + -7 2p = 21 + -7 Combine like terms: 21 + -7 = 14 2p = 14 Divide each side by '2'. p = 7 Simplifying p = 7

I think you are asking for the quotient of the numbers because base from the choices the units are meters per second and the given has units of meters and seconds. So, the quotient of the numbers is 43.218 meters per second which is option B.

Niki makes the same payment every two months to pay off his $61,600 loan. The loan has an interest rate of 9.84%, compounded every two months. If Niki pays off his loan after exactly eleven years, how much interest will he have paid in total? Round all dollar values to the nearest cent.

Answers

The question is an annuity question with the present value of the annuity given.
The present value of an annuity is given by PV = P(1 - (1 + r/t)^-nt) / (r/t) where PV = $61,600; r = interest rate = 9.84% = 0.0984; t = number of payments in a year = 6; n = number of years = 11 years and P is the periodic payment.
61600 = P(1 - (1 + 0.0984/6)^-(11 x 6)) / (0.0984 / 6)
61600 = P(1 - (1 + 0.0164)^-66) / 0.0164
61600 x 0.0164 = P(1 - (1.0164)^-66)
1010.24 = P(1 - 0.341769) = 0.658231P
P = 1010.24 / 0.658231 = 1534.78
Thus, Niki pays $1,534.78 every two months for eleven years.
The total payment made by Niki = 11 x 6 x 1,534.78 = $101,295.48
Therefore, interest paid by Niki = $101,295.48 - $61,600 = $39,695.48

What was the percent of decrease in the number of pumpkins sold

Answers

% decrease = change/original price x 100%
= (1200 - 900)/1200 x 100%
= 300/1200 x 100%
= 25%

Therefore, the number of pumpkins sold decreased by 25%.
