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.

jake can carry 6 1/4 pounds of wood in from the barn. His father can carry 1 5/7 times as much as Jake. How many pounds can Jake
Studentka2010 [4]
It would be: 6 1/4 * 1 5/7
= 25/4 * 12/7
= 300/28 = 150/14 = 75/7

In short, Your Answer would be 75/7 or 10 5/7 Pounds

Hope this helps!

Sara and Paul are on opposite sides of a building that a telephone pole fell on. The pole is leaning away from Paul at
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

a) See figure attached

b) x = \frac{sin(124)}{sin(34)} 80.086 = 118.732 ft

c) h = 35 sin (59) = 30.0 ft

So then the heigth for the building is approximately 30 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

We can see the figure attached is a illustration for the problem on this case.

Part b

For this case we can use the sin law to find the value of r first like this:

\frac{sin(22)}{35 ft} =\frac{sin(59)}{r}

r= \frac{sin(59)}{sin(22)} 35 ft = 80.086ft

Then we can use the same law in order to find the valueof x liek this:

\frac{sin(124)}{x ft} =\frac{sin(34)}{80.086}

x = \frac{sin(124)}{sin(34)} 80.086 = 118.732 ft

And that represent the distance between Sara and Paul.

Part c

For this cas we are interested on the height h on the figure attached. We can use the sine indentity in order to find it.

sin (59) = \frac{h}{35}

And if we solve for h we got:

h = 35 sin (59) = 30.0 ft

So then the heigth for the building is approximately 30 ft

Carmela mixes 3/4 kilogram of walnuts, 1/2 kilogram of almonds, and 1/4 kilogram of pecans together. She divides the mixed nuts
Evgesh-ka [11]

Amount of walnuts=\frac{3}{4} kg

Amount of almonds=\frac{1}{2} kg

Amount of pecans=\frac{1}{4} kg

Total amount=\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}

LCM is 4 so sum is = \frac{3+2+1}{4}=\frac{6}{4} =\frac{3}{2}

As given, Carmela divides the mixed nuts into 3/10 kilogram bags so number of bags will be:

\frac{\frac{3}{2}}{\frac{3}{10}}

= \frac{3}{2}\times\frac{10}{3} = 5

Hence, answer is 5 bags.
