Answer:
875
Step-by-step explanation:
1-0.32=0.68 so its 0.68 of its original price.
x*0.68=595 x is the original price
x=595/0.68
x=875
x=smaller number
y=larger number
x+y=12
y=3x-6
Let's begin with the first equation...
x+y=12
Let's substitute...
x+(3x-6)=12
4x-6=12
Let's add 6 to both sides as we proceed to isolate x...
6+4x-6=12+6
4x=18
Let's divide both sides by 4...
(4x)/4=18/4
x=9/2=4.5---smaller number
12-4.5=7.5s larger number
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
To re-phrase this: 50 is a certain percent of 90.
this can be written mathematically as 50=x%*90
let's divide both sides by 10:
5=x%*9
and divide both sides by 9:
which in decimals is approximately 0.56 (but not exactly).
so 0.56=x%
and the x then 56
so 50 is
approximately 56% of 90:
exactly 56%of 90 is 50.4
Answer:
6%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Principal= $1585
Time = 5 years
Interest = $475.50
Rate =???
The expression for the interest is given as
SI=PRT/100
substitute
475.50=1585*R*5/100
Cross multiply
475.50*100= 7925R
47550=7925R
R= 47550/7925
R= 6%
Hence the rate is 6%
