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.

The cost to visit a famous tourist attraction in Russia is 442.25 Rubles. What is the cost in USD if the exchange rate is 3 USD
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

$14.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Cost for the visit=442.25 Rubles

exchange rate

3 USD= 91.5 Rubles

but 1 USD= 91.5/3

=  30.5

Therefore if 1 USD is 30.5 Rubles

         Then   xUSD is  442.25 Rubles

cross multiply

30.5x= 442.25

divide both sides by 30.5

x= 442.25/30.5

x=14.5USD

The cost of the attraction is $14.5

Sara lost 12 pounds over the summer by jogging each week. By winter time she had gained 4 3/8 pounds. Represent this situation w
Vika [28.1K]

The situation with an expression involving signed numbers is w - 12 + 4 3/8 and the overall change in Sara’s weight is -7 5/8 pounds

<h3>Represent this situation with an expression involving signed numbers. </h3>

Let Sara's initial weight be w.

The given parameters are:

Lost = 12 pounds

Gain = 4 3/8 pounds

The situation with an expression involving signed numbers is represented as:

Weight = Initial - Lost + Gain

So, we have:

Weight = w - 12 + 4 3/8

<h3>What is the overall change in Sara’s weight?.</h3>

In (a), we have:

Weight = w - 12 + 4 3/8

The overall change is:

Change = - 12 + 4 3/8

Evaluate

Change = -7 5/8

Hence, the overall change in Sara’s weight is -7 5/8 pounds
