Answer:

(b)The original price of the shoes is $60.

Explanation:

Part A

In this situation:

• 15% is the PERCENT

,

• $9 is the PART

,

• The original price is the WHOLE.

Part B

If 15% is taken off, the customer will save $9.

This means that 15% of the original price = $9.

Let the original price=p

\begin{gathered} 15\%\text{ of p=9} \\ \frac{15}{100}p=9 \\ 15p=900 \\ p=\frac{900}{15} \\ p=60 \end{gathered}

The original price of the shoes is $60.

Which value, when placed in the box, would result in a system of equations with infinitly many solutions? Y=2x - 5 2y-4x=
Nezavi [6.7K]

Given:

The system of equations is

y=2x-5

2y-4x=?

To find:

The missing value for which the given system of equations have infinitely many solutions.

Solution:

Let the missing value be k.

We have,

y=2x-5

2y-4x=k

Taking all the terms on the left side, the given equations can be rewritten as

-2x+y+5=0

-4x+2y-k=0

The system of equations a_1x+b_1y+c_1=0 and a_2x+b_2y+c_2=0 have infinitely many solutions if

\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{b_1}{b_2}=\dfrac{c_1}{c_2}

We have,

a_1=-2,b_1=1,c_1=5

a_2=-4,b_2=2,c_2=-k

Now,

\dfrac{-2}{-4}=\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{5}{-k}

\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{5}{-k}

\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{5}{-k}

On cross multiplication, we get

-k=10

k=-10

Therefore, the missing value is -10.

A fruit punch recipe requires 2 quarts pf orange juice to be mixed for every 5 quarts of apple juice. Max has 9 quarts of orange
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

22.5 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find the ratio of orange juice to apple juice. The punch requires 2 quarts of orange juice mixed with 5 quarts of apple juice.

The ratio of orange juice to apple juice is therefore:

2 : 5 or 2/5

Max has 9 quarts of orange juice. By comparing with the ratio, this implies that:

2 / 5 = 9 / x

x = (9 * 5) / 2 = 22.5 quarts

He will need 22.5 quarts of apple juice.
