Answer:

40%

Detailed solution:

John Smith and Susan Jones have contributed $240,000 and $160,000 respectively toward Expo Company. We are tasked with determining the proportion of the business owned by Susan.

First, calculate the total investment by summing both contributions.

\text{Total money invested in business}=\$240,000+\$160,000

\text{Total money invested in business}=\$400,000

Next, find what percentage $160,000 is of the total $400,000.

\text{Percentage of business Susan own}=\frac{160,000}{400,000}\times 100

\text{Percentage of business Susan own}=0.4\times 100

\text{Percentage of business Susan own}=40

Thus, Susan's share in the company is 40%.

Find x if a =13 and C = 47 need help
Inessa [12570]

You can utilize the Pythagorean theorem expressed as a^2 + b^2 = c^2... if b is unknown, you can rearrange the formula. Hence, c^2 - a^2 = b^2. Squaring 47 gives 2209 and squaring 13 yields 169... Subtracting gives you 2209-169, which results in 2040. Taking the square root of that yields approximately 45.166359, which can be rounded to 45 or as 45.167 when expressed to two decimal places. I hope this helps!:)

How much of a 90% alloy must be combined with 70% gold alloy in order to get 60 ounces of an 85% gold alloy?
Leona [12618]
Let X be the amount of 90% alloy and Y be the amount of 70% alloy. The equations are: x + y = 60  0.9x + 0.7y = 0.85 * 60 By substituting, we have: 0.9x + 0.7(60 - x) = 0.85 * 60 This simplifies to: (0.9 - 0.7)x = (0.85 - 0.7)*60 Solving for x yields: x = (0.85 - 0.7)*60/(0.9 - 0.7) x = 45 ounces For Y, we find: y = 60 - 45 y = 15 ounces
