A sweater is on sale for 12% off. The sale price is $44.00. What is the original amount of the sweater?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  50 dollars

==================================================

Work Shown:

x = original price

y = sale price

d = discount = amount saved

d = 12% of x = 0.12x

y = x - d = x - 0.12x = 0.88x

Note how 0.88 = 88%, and this represents the percentage you have to pay if you get 12% off.

We're told the sale price is y = 44, so this leads to...

y = 0.88x

44 = 0.88x

0.88x = 44

x = 44/0.88

x = 50

The original price was $50

---------------------

Check:

If the original price was $50, then the amount you save is 0.12*50 = 6 dollars, which is the discount.

The sale price is 50-6 = 44 dollars which matches up with what your teacher gave you. The answer is confirmed.

Answers

Answer:

   here we have rolled two dice. So total no. of possible outcomes will be 6^2=36. These are (1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6).

   Now, among these cases the cases where the sum is seven for (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1) i.e. there are 6 cases.

   Now, it is time to calculate the probability.

   The required probability is,

   p = (No. of cases favorable for the event)/(Total no. of cases)

Answers

Answer:

r = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(1+6r)=14-r

Distribute the -3

-3*1 -3*6r = 14-r

-3 -18r = 14 -r

Add 18r to each side

-3-18r+18r = 14-r+18r

-3 = 14+17r

Subtract 14 from each side

-3-14 = 14+17t-14

There are 250 bricks used to build a wall that is 20 feet high how many bricks will be used to build a wall is 40 feet high?

Answers

Answer:

500 bricks.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 250 bricks used to build a wall that is 20 feet high how many bricks will be used to build a wall is 40 feet high?

To solve e the above question, we have:

20 feet high = 250 bricks

40 feet high = x bricks

Cross Multiply

20 feet × x bricks = 40 feet × 250 bricks

x bricks = 40 feet × 250 bricks/20 feet

x bricks = 500 bricks

Therefore, 500 bricks will be used to build a wall is 40 feet high.

A pipe leaks water at a rate of 48 fl oz
every 5 min.
At this rate, how many gallons of water leak from the pipe in an hour? (1
gal = 128 fl oz)

Answers

12*5=60
12*48=576
576/128=4.5
4.5 gallons

The number of gallons of water leaking from the pipe in an hour will be 4.5 gallons per hour.

What is conversion?

Unit modification is the process of converting the measurement of a given amount between various units, often by multiplicative constants that alter the value of the calculated quantity without altering its impacts.

A pipe leaks water at a rate of 48 fl oz every 5 min. Then the rate is given as,

Rate = 48 / 5 fl oz per minute

We know that 1 gal = 128 fl oz, then we have

Rate = (48 / 128) / (5 / 60)

Rate = (48 x 60) / (128 x 5)

Rate = 2880 / 640

Rate = 4.5 gallons per hour

The number of gallons of water leaking from the pipe in an hour will be 4.5 gallons per hour.

Reuben hires a car. It costs £150, plus 85p for each mile he travels. When Reuben hires the car, its mileage is 27612 miles. When Reuben returns the car, its mileage is 28361 miles. How much did Reuben pay to hire the car?

Answers

Answer:

Cost of hiring a car = £63,815

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of hiring a car = 150 + 85p

When Reuben hires the car, its mileage is 27612 miles. When Reuben returns the car, its mileage is 28361 miles.

Number of miles Reuben travelled = 28,361 miles - 27,612 miles

= 749 miles

Cost of hiring a car = 150 + 85p

= 150 + 85(749)

= 150 + 63,665

= 63,815

Cost of hiring a car = £63,815

The Johnson and Sloan families went to Taco Mania for lunch. The Johnsons bought 3 burrito meals and 4 taco meals for $48. The Sloans bought 6 burrito meals and 2 taco meals for $60. How much does each meal cost?

Answers

Answer:

Each burrito meal cost 8$

Each taco meal cost 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Johnsons= 3b +4t =48

Sloans= 6b+2t=60

multiple johnsons by -2

so, now the johnsons are -6b+-8t=-96

add that to the sloans so, -6b+6b-8t+2t=-96+60

the b's cancel eachother out, so you are left with -6t= -36

divide each side by -6 and you will get t=6

then you can pick either formula, lets say sloans this time

so, 6b + 2(6)=60 so, 6b+12=60, subtract 12 from each side, to get 48

so 6b=48, divde each side by 6 and you will get b=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Tacos-6

Burritos-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the first equation by -2,and multiply the second equation by 1.

−2(3b+4t=48)

1(6b+2t=60)

Becomes:

−6b−8t=−96

6b+2t=60

Add these equations to eliminate b:

−6t=−36

Then solve−6t=−36for t:

−6t=−36

−6t

−6

=

−36

−6

(Divide both sides by -6)

t=6

Now that we've found t let's plug it back in to solve for b.

Write down an original equation:

3b+4t=48

Substitute6fortin3b+4t=48:

3b+(4)(6)=48

3b+24=48(Simplify both sides of the equation)

3b+24+−24=48+−24(Add -24 to both sides)

3b=24

What is the best prediction of the time required for
the oil spill to reach a diameter of 10 km?
A 147 days
B200 days
205 days
D233 days

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It's 205

The best prediction of the time required for the oil spill to reach a diameter of 10 km will be 147 days. Then the correct option is A.

What is a quadratic equation?

The quadratic equation is given as ax² + bx + c = y. Then the degree of the equation will be 2.

The table shows the connection between the width in kilometers of an oil slick and the time in days. A capability can be utilized to show this relationship.

The equation at (2.4, 1) will be given as,

2.4 = a (1)² + b (1) + c

2.4 = a + b + c                 ...1

The equation at (9.4, 2) will be given as,

9.4= a (2)² + b (2) + c

9.4 = 4a + 2b + c                 ...2

The equation at (21.1, 3) will be given as,

21.1 = a (3)² + b (3) + c

21.1 = 9a + 3b + c                 ...

Solve equations 1, 2, and 3 with the calculator, then we have

a = 2.35, b = -0.05, c = 0.1

Then the equation is given as,

y = 2.35x² - 0.05x + 0.1

The best prediction of the time required for the oil spill to reach a diameter of 10 km will be

y = 2.35(10)² - 0.05(10) + 0.1

y = 235 - 0.5 + 0.1

y = 235.5

The value of y is nearer to the value of 233. Then the value of y will be 233 days.

The best prediction of the time required for the oil spill to reach a diameter of 10 km will be 233 days. Then the correct option is D.
