We are told that $168.00 represents 8% of the contract price; therefore,we know that

original price *( 8/100) = $168.00

Now, writing out "original price" is a bit space-consuming; therefore, we will just rename it and say

original price = OP

Then, our equation above can be written as

$OP\times\frac{8}{100}=168$

We solve for OP (original price) by multiplying both sides by 100 and then dividing by 8. This gives us

$OP=\frac{100}{8}\times168$ $\textcolor{#FF7968}{\therefore OP=2100}\text{\textcolor{#FF7968}{.}}$

Hence, the original contract price is $2100.

What are the zeros of the function below?

Ivan

When you want to find zeros of rational expression you need to find at which points numerator is equal to zero. In this case, we have the product of three expressions.
$x(x-1)(x+11)=0$
A product is equal to zero whenever one of the factors is equal to zero.
That means that zeros of our functions are:
1) $x=0$
2) $x-1=0$
$x=1$
3) $x+11=0$
$x=-11$
The final answer is a. Function has zeros at (0, 1, -11).

Jana ran the first 3 and a half miles of a 5 mile race in 1 3rd of an hour. what was her average rate, in mph, for the first par

Lisa [10]

Answer:

always try to draw a diagram first

Step-by-step explanation:

Jana ran The first 3.5 miles in 1/3 of an hour. remember the problem tells us that we want our answer in miles per hour or mph. so we have to set up our problem so that our units match in the end. The diagram above shows 3.5 mi over 1/3 hour. so we must divide 3.5 miles by 1/3 hour

note:

$3 \frac{1}{2} mi = \frac{7mi}{2}$
