The original price of a CD is $9.50. However, since they are 80% off, you spend $7.60 on each CD.

Steps to translate the given word problem to a linear equation.

  1. Read carefully the problem
  2. Find out what value is given, what is required, and what is asked to find.
  3. Use variables to represent the unknowns. A variable is usually represented by a letter such as x, p, m, and so on.
  4. Translate the problem into equations.
  5. Solve the equations using elimination, substitution, or graph method.

In the given problem, let p be the original price of each CD.

The CD is on sale for 80%, therefore, $30.40 is the total money spent for 4 discounted CDs.

We can represent this as:

    4 x (80% x p) = 30.40

     4 (0.8p) = 30.40

      3.2 p = 30.40

            p = 9.50

Hence, the original price of a CD is $9.50. However, since they are 80% off, you spend = 0.8 x $9.50 = $7.60 on each CD

Probability of landing in the white not the red. Please helpppppppppppp!
Iteru [2.4K]

Fun, geometry disguised as probability.

That's a pentagon, which we can view as 10 right triangles with legs a and s/2 (half of s) and hypotenuse r.  So area of the pentagon is

P = 10 × (1/2) a (s/2) = 10 (1/2) (3.2) (4.7/2) = 37.6

The area of the circle is πr² so the circle area is

C = π (4²) = 50.265482

The white area is the difference, C-P, and the probability we seek is the fraction of the circle that's white, so (C-P)/C.

p = (C-P)/C =1-P/C = 1-37.6/50.265482 = 0.251971

Answer: 0.25

Higher than I would have guessed from the figure.

The number of viewers for television show 1 and show 2 is given as f = 14.7(0.94)ˣ and g = 15.2(1.03)ˣ

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

An exponential function is in the form:

y = abˣ

Where a is the initial value of y and b is the multiplication factor.

Let f and g representing the approximate number of viewers, in millions,  x weeks after the tracking begins.

The number of viewers for television show 1 and show 2 is given as f = 14.7(0.94)ˣ and g = 15.2(1.03)ˣ
