The weight of each pile yesterday will be 6 and 8 pounds.

<h3>What is the unitary method?</h3>

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 Yesterday the ratio of seeds in these piles was 3:4.

Let 3x and 4x represent the seeds.

If the 2 pounds of seeds are added in the bigger pile, then

4x + 2

He also ate 1/4 pound from the smaller pile,

3x - 1/4

The quantities of seeds in those piles is in the ratio of 5:16.

So, 4x + 2 = 5x

3x - 1/4 = 16x

Solve;

So, 4x + 2 = 5x

2 = 5x - 4x

x = 2

The weight of each pie will be

3x = 6 pound

4x = 8 pound

Hence, The weight of each pile yesterday would be 6 and 8 pounds.

Zoe found a sweatshirt that she wanted at jcpenny when she went shopping the other day. it was 30% off. what was the original co
oksian1 [2.3K]

The sale price was 30% off the original price, which means it was on sale for 70% of the original cost ( 100% - 30% = 70%)

To find the original cost, divide the sale price by the percent of the original cost:

21 / 0.70 = 30


The original price was $30


check:

30 x 0.3 = 9 ( amount of discount)

30 - 9 = 21 ( sale price)

<h3>Answer:   -a > -b</h3>

Explanation:

Let's go over an example.

We'll have a = 1 and b = 7 which makes a < b true. Feel free to pick your own favorite pair of numbers such that b is larger than 'a'.

The corresponding opposites are:  -a = -1 and -b = -7

The relationship flips because the opposites of each number are flipped. So instead of saying -a < -b, we have -a > -b

Sure enough, -1 > -7 is a true statement. Use a number line to see this. I recommend a vertical number line.

In short, going from a < b to -a > -b means we flip the signs of each term, and we flip the inequality sign as well.
