The price of an item changed from $175 to $150. Later, the price decreased to $125. Which of the two decreases was larger in percentage and how much is it?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The second decrease is larger at 16 1/6% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

175 to 150

Take the original price minus the new price divided by the original price

(175 -150) /175 =25/175 = 1/7 =.142857143 = 14.28 % decrease

150 to 125

Take the original price minus the new price divided by the original price

( 150-125)/150 = 25/150 = 1/6 =.16666 = 16 1/6 % decrease

The second decrease is larger at 16 1/6% decrease

Answers

Answer:

  equals can be substituted anytime anywhere

Step-by-step explanation:

cos(60°) = 1/2, so wherever one appears, the other can be substituted. This is allowed by the substitution property of equality.

__

If you don't substitute at some point, you find the answer to be ...

  x = 10/cos(60°)

Most of us are interested in a numerical value for x, so we prefer that cos(60°) be replaced by a numerical value.

Answers

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

The transformation that took place to form A'B'C' is Shifted 4 units left and 2 units down.

What is transformation?

A transformation is a process that manipulates a polygon or other two-dimensional object on a plane or coordinate system.

Given that, a triangle ABC has undergone a transformation to form A'B'C' we need to identify the steps of transformation

So, considering the point B and B', we see, that, x-coordinate of B is at 5 and that of B' is at 1, that mean there is a shift of 4 units left,

Now, consider the y-coordinate, we see, that B is at 9 and B' is at 7 that gives a downward shifting of 2 units.

Hence, the transformation that took place to form A'B'C' is Shifted 4 units left and 2 units down.

Answer:

x = 100°

Step-by-step explanation:

p and q are parallel lines. Construct line 'l' parallel to p and q

a = 30°   {p// l  when parallel lines are intersected by transversal alternate interior angles are congruent}

c +110 = 180  {linear pair}

c = 180  - 110

c = 70°

b= c   {q // l  when parallel lines are intersected by transversal alternate interior angles are congruent}

b = 70°

x = a + b

x = 30° + 70°

x = 100°

there are nickels, dimes, and quarters in a piggy bank. altogether, the coins are worth $3.65. the number of dimes is three times greater than the number of nickels, and the number of quarters is one greater than double the number of nickels. how many quarters, nickels, and dimes are there?

Answers

This question is solved using a system of equations, and doing this, we get that: There are 9 quarters, 4 nickels and 12 dimes.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of nickels.

y is the number of dimes.

z is the number of quarters.

In all, they are worth $3.65.

A nickel is worth $0.05, a dime is worth $0.1 and a quarter is worth $0.25, so:

[tex]0.05x + 0.1y + 0.25z = 3.65[/tex]

Dimes: 3 times greater than nickels:

This means that:

[tex]y = 3x[/tex]

Quarters: One greater than double the number of nickels:

This means that:

[tex]z = 2x + 1[/tex]

Value of x:

We have y and z as function of x, so we can replace into the equation and find the value of x, so:

[tex]0.05x + 0.1y + 0.25z = 3.65[/tex]

[tex]0.05x + 0.1(3x) + 0.25(2x+1) = 3.65[/tex]

[tex]0.05x + 0.3x + 0.5x + 0.25 = 3.65[/tex]

[tex]0.85x = 3.4[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{3.4}{0.85}[/tex]

[tex]x = 4[/tex]

y and z:

[tex]y = 3x = 3(4) = 12[/tex]

[tex]z = 2x + 1 = 2(4) + 1 = 9[/tex]

There are 9 quarters, 4 nickels and 12 dimes.

Sheldon is baking 2-inch cookies. He has 3 trays that are the same size. On one tray, he makes 5 rows with 4 cookies in each row. He cannot fit any more cookies on the tray. He fills the second tray completely and only part of the third tray. How many cookies could Sheldon have made?

Answers

Answer: Sheldon has made 50 cookies

Step-by-step explanation: for the first test because there are 5 rows and 4 cookies on each row you would multiply 4 times 5. That equals 20. The first tray has twenty and all trays are the same size so if the second one is completely full then it also has twenty. The third one is only half way full meaning twenty divided by two equals ten. Ten is the amount of cookies on the third tray. If you add that all together that is 20+20+10=50

The number of cookies made by Sheldon will be equal to 50.

What is an arithmetic operation?

The four basic mathematical operations are the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of two or even more integers. Among them is the examination of integers, particularly the order of actions, which is crucial for all other mathematical topics, including algebra, data organization, and geometry.

For the first test, you would multiply 4 by 5 because there are 5 rows and 4 cookies on each row. 20 is the result.

Since all trays are the same size and the first tray has twenty, if the second tray is totally filled, it will also have twenty.

Twenty divided by two equals 10 because the third one is only half full.

There are ten cookies on the third tray.

The total is,

20+20+10 = 50.

Given :

Seena’s mother is 4 times as old as Seena. After 5 years her mother will be 3 times as old as she will be then .Find their present ages.

Solution :

Let us assume :

Seena's age be x

Her mother's age be 4x

After 5 years :

Seena's age = x + 5

Her mother's age = 4x + 5

Ratio of age after 5 years :

Seena's mother = 3

Seena's ratio = 1

Hence, the equation is :

[tex] \looparrowright\frak{ \frac{4x + 5}{x + 5} = \frac{3}{1} }[/tex]

By cross multiplying we get

[tex] \looparrowright \frak{3(x + 5) = 4x + 5}[/tex]

[tex] \looparrowright \frak{3x + 15 = 4x + 5}[/tex]

Answer:

8 lb box

Step-by-step explanation:

Find which laundry detergent has a lower unit price

The unit price is how much something costs for a single unit

In this case, it is how much the detergent costs for 1 pound

7.4/8 lbs = 0.925 dollars per lb

5.38/4 lbs = 1.345 dollars per lb

Since 1.345 > 0.925, the 8 lb box is a better buy

Case 1

Cost of 8 pound detergent = $7.40

So, cost of 1 pound detergent

= $7.40 ÷ 8

= $0.925

Case 2

Cost of 8 pound detergent = $5.38

So, cost of 1 pound detergent

= $5.38 ÷ 4

= $1.345

$0.925 < $1.345

$0.925 < $1.345So, cost per pound in 8 pound box < cost per pound in 4 pound box

So, buying the 8 pound box is better.

Given three consecutive odd integers whose sum is 369, find the smallest of the three integers.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

369 = x + (x+2) + (x+4)

369 = 3x + 6

363 = 3x

121 = x

now that we know that x = 121, we can solve the equation by plugging in the variable

369 = x + (x+2) + (x+4)

369 = 121 + 123 + 125

369 = 369

The smallest three integers are 121,123 and 125.

Let, the smallest odd integers be n

Then according to the given condition,

[tex]n+(n+2)+(n+4)=369\\3n+6=369\\3n=363\\n=121[/tex]

Amanda rented a bike from Ted's Bikes.
It costs $10 for the helmet plus $4.25 per hour.
If Amanda paid about $33.38, how many hours did she rent the bike?
a) Let h = the number of hours she rented the bike. Write the equation you would use to solve this problem.

Answers

Answer:

≈ 5.51 hours

Equation: 4.25h + 10

The number of hours Amanda rented the bike is 5.5 hours.

The equation used to solve this problem is 33.38 = 10 + 4.25h.

The rent cost for the helmet is $10.

The rent cost for the bike per hour is $4.25.

We need to find the number of hours Amanda rented the bike as she paid $33.38 in total.

We also have to make an equation that would solve this problem.

Consider h = number of hours Amanda rented the bike.

The cost for renting the helmet = $10.

And rent cost for the bike per hour = $4.25.

Amanda's total cost = Helmet rent cost + bike rent cost

Since we do not know the number of hours the bike was rented we will denote bike rent cost  = $4.25 x h

We have,

$33.38 = $10 + $4.25 x h

33.38 = 10 + 4.25 x h

33.38 - 10 = 4.25 x h

23.38 = 4.25 x h

h = 23.38 / 4.25

h = 5.5011

Rounding to the nearest tenths we get,

h = 5.5 hours

The number of hours Amanda rented the bike is 5.5 hours.

The equation used to solve this problem is 33.38 = 10 + 4.25h.
