Your cousin gave you $0.72 with which to buy a gift. This covered 9/10 of the cost. How much did the present cost?

$0.80

Step-by-step explanation:

percent times the original number equals the part

(%)(start or total cost)= (part of the total cost). you need to know the total cost, so you would fill in the part and the percent. 0.9x=0.72. you use x because you don't know what the total cost is. then you divide both sides by 0.9 to get x by itself and you get that x = 0.8, meaning that the present costs $0.80.

the answer is a i belaeve atleast thats what my calculator just gfave me

step-by-step explanation:

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
