HELP PLEASE THIS IS DUE TODAY AT 12: 00 AM WHOEVER GETS IT RIGHT WILL GET BRAINLIEST Mr. O’Connell spends 15% of his salary on food and 24% of it on transportation. He saves the remaining $1,830. A. What is his salary? Do not use a comma in your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

use formula

is/of %/100

1830 is (15 + 24) 39 % of what? so 1830 × 100 = 183000 divide by 39% equals 4692.30.

to check your answer what is 39% of 4692.30

multiply both and it shall equal 1830

step-by-step explanation:

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
