Answer:

$740.00

Step-by-step explanation:

85% of x is 629

Translate into algebra. Use a decimal in place of the percent:

.85x = 629

Divide by .85

x = 740

This answer makes sense because the regular price should be a little higher than the sale price. If they are paying 85% they're only getting 15% off.

Check:

740×.85 = 629

The ice cream shop offers 31 flavors. you order a double scoop cone how many different ways can the clerk put the ice cream on t
Lynna [10]

Answer:

465

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are looking for the the number of combinations to have 2 different flavors in the ice cream, we can use the formula for combination.

_{n}C_{k}=\dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

Our variables are:

n = 31

k = 2

_{31}C_{2}=\dfrac{31!}{2!(31-2)!}

_{31}C_{2}=\dfrac{31!}{2!29!}

_{31}C_{2}=\dfrac{31!}{2!29!}

_{31}C_{2}=465

The number of possible combinations of having 2 different flavors out of 31 different flavors is 465.

Given rectangles LMNO and PQRS, which statement explains a way to determine if the two figures are similar?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Definition:</u> Two rectangles are similar when they have corresponding sides proportional are proportional by dilation.

For example, rectangles with sides 3 cm, 4cm and 6 cm, 8 cm are similar, but rectangles with sides 3 cm, 4 cm and 6 cm, 10 cm are nor similar.

Since all angles in rectangle are always right angles, then options A and C are false (in terms of your question).

Option D is false too, because translation doesn't change the length, and in this case two rectangles are congruent.

Option B is true according to definition.

The scatter plot shows the average heights of children up to age 5.
Over [174]

Answer:

(a) y = 4.5x  + 22 -- The equation

(b) 31 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment

Solving (a): The equation of the trend line.

We start  by calculating the slope (m)

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Where

(x_1,y_1) = (0,22)

(x_2,y_2) = (4,40)

So, we have:

m = \frac{40 - 22}{4 - 0}

m = \frac{18}{4}

m = 4.5

The equation is then calculated using:

y = m(x-x_1)+y_1

Where:

(x_1,y_1) = (0,22)

m = 4.5

y = 4.5(x - 0) + 22

Open bracket

y = 4.5x - 0 + 22

y = 4.5x  + 22

(b) The height of a 2 year old.

To do this, we substitute 2 for x in y = 4.5x  + 22

y = 4.5 * 2 + 22

y = 9+ 22

y = 31

The prediction is 31 inches
