At a sale this week, a desk is being sold for $336. This is a 36% discount from the original price.

Answer:

$525

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the original price by using the formula x - 0.36x = 336, where x is the original price, 0.36 is the discount percentage (converted to decimal form), and 336 is the total amount paid after the discount is applied:

x-0.36x=336\\0.64x=336\\x=525

To check and further understand why the formula works, we can simply apply the discount to the original price and subtract the number from the original price:

525 * 0.36 = 189

525 - 189 = 336

Modeling the first formula gives us:

525 - (0.36 * 525) = 336

525 - 189 = 336

Given: sin ∅= 4/5 and cos x = -5/13 ; evaluate the following expression.<br><br> tan( ∅ - x )
Pavlova-9 [17]

By definition of tangent,

tan(θ - x) = sin(θ - x) / cos(θ - x)

Expand the sine and cosine terms using the angle sum identities,

sin(x ± y) = sin(x) cos(y) ± cos(x) sin(y)

cos(x ± y) = cos(x) cos(y) ∓ sin(x) sin(y)

from which we get

tan(θ - x) = (sin(θ) cos(x) - cos(θ) sin(x)) / (cos(θ) cos(x) + sin(θ) sin(x))

Also recall the Pythagorean identity,

cos²(x) + sin²(x) = 1

from which we have two possible values for each of cos(θ) and sin(x):

cos(θ) = ± √(1 - sin²(θ)) = ± 3/5

sin(x) = ± √(1 - cos²(x)) = ± 12/13

Since there are 2 choices each for cos(θ) and sin(x), we'll have 4 possible values of tan(θ - x) :

• cos(θ) = 3/5, sin(x) = 12/13 :

tan(θ - x) = -56/33

• cos(θ) = -3/5, sin(x) = 12/13 :

tan(θ - x) = 16/63

• cos(θ) = 3/5, sin(x) = -12/13 :

tan(θ - x) = -16/63

• cos(θ) = -3/5, sin(x) = -12/13 :

tan(θ - x) = 56/33

3x+1 = 5x-9. what is the value of x?
krok68 [10]
X=5.
Explanation:
Take 3x+1=5x-9 and subtract 1 from both sides.
Now you have 3x=5x-10, Subtract 5x from both sides to get -2x= -10
Now divide both sides by -2 and you have x=5 :).

If Jessica has money into savings accounts worry is 5% in the other is 10% if she has $950 more in the 10% account and the total
Lelu [443]

Answer:

5% account = $1,240

10% account = $2,190

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the amount of savings in the 5% account is x.

Thus the amount of savings in the 10% account is (x + $950).

We can write the following equation from the interest amount:

[5% x ] + [10% (x + $950)] = $281

5%x + 10%x + $95 = S281

15%x = $186

x = $1,240

There is $1,240 in the 5% account

Therefore, on the 10% account there is $1,240 + $950 = $2,190
