Answer:

$12

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Method 1</u></h3>

First, calculate the sale discount as a percentage using the given information about the pants.

  • $20 = Original price of pants
  • $15 = Sale price of pants

\sf percent\:change=\dfrac{|final\:value-initial\:value|}{initial\:value} \times 100

\implies \sf percent\:change=\dfrac{|15-20|}{20} \times 100=25\%

Therefore, the clothes are on sale with a 25% discount.

This means they are 75% of the original sale price, as 100% - 25% = 75%

To find the sale price of the shirt, we simply need to find 75% of the original selling price of the shirt:

  75% of $16

= 0.75 × $16

= $12

<h3><u>Method 2</u></h3>

Using ratios of original price : sale price, where x is the sale price of the shirt:

pants → 20 : 15

shirt → 16 : x

Therefore, as the ratios are the same:

   20 : 15 = 16 : x

⇒ 20/15 = 16/x

⇒ 20x = 16 · 15

⇒ 20x = 240

⇒ x = 240 ÷ 20

⇒ x = 12

PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME ! Jerry wants to buy his grandpa's old car for $500.00. He works 10 hours a week
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Needs $500  Makes 7.50 and works 10 hours week.

7.50*10= $75.00 a week

500/75= 6.6 weeks or 6 weeks and 2/3 of a week. I'd round to 7 weeks.

75(x)=500   X= weeks needed.

75x=500 if you divide 500 by 75

x=20/3 or 6.6
