The number is 6.25.

We will set up an equation for this.  Let x be the unknown number.  Subtracting 1.05 from it gives us

(x-1.05)

Multiplying the difference by 0.8 would give us

0.8(x-1.05)

Adding 2.84 to the product would give us

0.8(x-1.05)+2.84

Dividing the sum by 0.01 would give us

[0.8(x-1.05)+2.84]/0.01 = 700

We will start working backward, cancelling the division by 0.01 first by multiplying:

([0.8(x-1.05)+2.84]/0.01)*0.01 = 700*0.01

0.8(x-1.05)+2.84 =7

Subtract 2.84 from both sides:
0.8(x-1.05)+2.84-2.84 = 7-2.84
0.8(x-1.05) = 4.16

Use the distributive property on the left side:
0.8*x - 0.8*1.05 = 4.16
0.8x - 0.84 = 4.16

Add 0.84 to both sides:
0.8x - 0.84+0.84 = 4.16+0.84
0.8x = 5

Divide both sides by 0.8:
0.8x/0.8 = 5/0.8
x = 6.25

deposit, P=  $500

rate,i =  5%

time,t= 5 years

I=P*i*t

where P is principal amount

i is interest rate

t is time

I is simple interest

Consider the arithmetic sequence:
prisoha [69]

Answer:

<em>Answer: D</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Arithmetic Sequences </u>

The arithmetic sequences are those where any term n is obtained by adding or subtracting a fixed number to the previous term. That number is called the common difference.

The equation to calculate the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:

a_n=a_1+(n-1)r

Where

an = nth term

a1 = first term

r   = common difference

n  = number of the term

We are given the arithmetic sequence:

10, 12, 14, 16, ...

Where a1=10 and

r = 12 - 10 = 2

Thus the general term is:

a_n=10+(n-1)2

Operating:

a_n=10+2n-2

a_n=8+2n

Answer: D

Please solve 5q+6=2q-2+q.
son4ous [18]

Answer:

q= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

5q + 6 = 2 q- 2 + q

Collect like terms and simplify

5q - 2q - q =  - 2 - 6 \\ 2q =  - 8

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

\frac{2q}{2}  =  \frac{ - 8}{2}  \\

Simplify

q =  - 4

after allowing 20 percent discount on the marked price of a radio 15 percent vat is levied on it , if its price become rs 22080
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, let's say that the price was P, a real number.

After 20% discount it become P - 20% * P = P* (1-20%) = P * (1 - 0.2)

= P * 0.8

And then we take 15% for the VAT, the new price become P * 0.8 * ( 1 + 15%)

= P * 0.8 * 1.15

And this is equal to 22080, so

P * 0.8 * 1.15 = 22080

and the amount of the VAT is P *0.8 * 0.15

=\dfrac{22080}{1.15}*0.15=2880

Hope this helps.

Thank you.
