An art gallery is increasing the asking price of its paintings by 60%. A painting now costs $400.00. How much was the painting before the increase??
$

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$250

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal here is to find the cost of the painting BEFORE the 60% increase.

To find the cost of the painting, we must take in the information we already have:

Increase percent: 60%

Original price: unknown

Price after increase: $400

$400 is the price of the painting AFTER the increase has been added. So this equals the cost of the painting before the increase, plus the total amount of the increase (which is 60% of the original price).

The total must be (100% + 60% = 160%) 160% of the original painting price.

To find the original price, we must divide the increased price by the new percentage (160%). But how do we get here?

Well, we have 160% and our (fraction) $400/1%. We will have to switch the 160% and the 1%, giving us..

1% $400/160%

We take 400/160, which is 2.5. But this is only 1% of the original price! We want 100%.

So now, we multiply the 2.5 by 100 to get our answer: $250.

Which number is a rational number? OA √15 OB. 2.6457513110... O c. 17.156 OD. 3√85​

Answers

Answer:

"O c. 17.156"

Step-by-step explanation:

    A is not a rational number because it cannot be written as a fraction [with two integers] or an integer (the square root of 15 is equal too 3.87298334...)

   B is not a rational number because it also goes on forever, just like A.

    C is a rational number because it does not go on forever.

    D is like A and B, it goes on forever.

if 5/6 of the 30 motorcycles were new, how many motorcycles were used​

Answers

Answer:

5 Motorcycles are used

30÷6= 5

5×5= 25

30-24=5

so the answer is 5

Answer:

5 out of the 30 motorcycles are used

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we should look at what we know. We know that there are 30 motorcycles in total. As a fraction, that'd be 30/30. We also know that of that 30, the equivalent of 5/6 are brand new.

Our next step is to figure out how much 5/6 is out of 30. Since we know that in total there 30/30 motorcycles, we need to convert 5/6 to have a denominator of 30. So what times 6 equals 30.

30 ÷ 6 = ?    opposite of 6 x ? = 30

5                   divide

So now we now that 6 times 5 equals 30. What we do to the denominator we must do to the numerator.

[tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{5}{5}[/tex]    

[tex]\frac{25}{30}[/tex]

Now we know that 25 of the 30 motorcycles are new and all we need to do is subtract that 25 from the total 30 to get 5. This tells us that 5 of the total motorcycles are used.

What is the unitary method?

The unitary method is a method for solving a problem by the first value of a single unit and then finding the value by multiplying the single value.

It is given that Mary has 2 1/5 hours before she needs to meet her friend. She needs to take care of 7 chores before then.

Hence, we get

2 and 1/5 hours = 132 minutes (120 + 12)

thus, Mary will have 132/7 = 18.85714285714286 minutes for each chore.

Or around 18.85 minutes for each chore

Therefore, she can allocate to each chore around 18.85 minutes.

1.
[tex] {y}^{2} - 6y - 2x + 19 = 0[/tex]
2.
[tex] {x}^{2} + 4x + 4y + 16 = 0[/tex]

Answers

Given:

y² - 6y - 2x + 19 = 0

This is a horizontal parabola.

Canonical form of horizontal parabola is:

4a(x - h) = (y - k)², where (h, k) is vertex

Focus is:

F(h + a, k)

Directrix is:

x = h - a

Convert the equation:

y² - 6y - 2x + 19 = 0y² - 6y  + 9 - 2x + 10 = 0(y - 3)² = 2x - 10(y - 3)² = 4(1/2)(x - 5)

We got:

h = 5, k = 3, a = 1/2

Focus is:

F(5 + 1/2, 3) = F(5.5, 3)

Directrix is:

x = 5 - 1/2 = 4.5#2

Given:

x² +4x + 4y + 16 = 0

This is a vertical parabola.

Canonical form of vertical parabola is:

4a(y - k) = (x - h)², where (h, k) is vertex

Focus is:

(h, k + a)

Directrix is:

y = k - a

Convert the equation:

x² + 4x + 4y + 16 = 0x² +4x + 4 + 4y + 12 = 0(x + 2)² = -4y - 12(x + 2)² = 4(-1) (y + 3)

We got:

h = - 2, k = -3, a = - 1

Focus is:

F(-2, -3 - 1) = F(-2, - 4)

Directrix is:

y = -3 - (-1) = - 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by looking at the graph of the two equations.

Since you are not looking for where the lines cross, I have chosen any 3 points for each equation almost randomly. I have not used either the x or y intercepts except once.

As a sample for the method of calculation

Let x -2y = 4

Let x = -2.             Find y and put it in the table

-2 - 2y = 4             Add 2 to both sides

-2+2-2y = 4 + 2    Combine

-2y = 6                  Divide by -2

y = 6/-2

y = - 3

Put that in the table under the first equation.

The other 5 points are done the same way.

Solution:

Perimeter = 2 (l + b)

2x² + 4x - 4y = 2 {(2x - 3y) + b}

2x² + 4x - 4y = (4x - 6y) + 2b

2x² + 4x - 4y - (4x - 6y) = 2b

2x² + 4x - 4y - 4x + 6y = 2b

2x² + 2y = 2b

(2x² + 2y)/2 = b

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the hypotenuse or any side of a right triangle, use the Pythagorean theorem. This is [tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex] where a and b are the perpendicular sides and c is the hypotenuse. So, plugin  3 and 4 for a and b. This gives 9+16=c^2, which is equal to 25=c^2. Then, take the square of both sides to get c=5.

Another way to solve this is to know the triples. Triples are right triangles that have integers for all of their sides. The triple 3,4,5 is the smallest and most common triple.
