The original price of phone is $ 315.76

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that Mica bought a new smart phone for $ 258.13.

That was the price after his 18.25% discount

<em><u>To find: original price of phone</u></em>

From given question,

price after discount = $ 258.13

discount = 18.25 %

Let "x" be the original price of phone

price after discount = original price - discount

258.13 = x - 18.25 \% \text{ of } x

258.13 = x - \frac{18.25}{100}x

258.13 = x(1 - \frac{18.25}{100})

258.13 = x(1 - 0.1825)\\\\258.13 = x( 0.8175)\\\\x = \frac{258.13}{0.8175}\\\\x = 315.76

Thus original price of phone is $ 315.76

olganol [36]

When discount points are paid, the bank collects a one-time fee at closing in exchange a lower mortgage rate to be honored for the life of the loan.

The banks consider this payment to be "prepaid mortgage interest". Meanwhile, mortgage interest is tax-deductible for eligible tax-filers so, for many mortgage borrowers, there's a tax advantage to paying discount points.

A line passes through the point. (4, -7) and has a slope of 5/2
blagie [28]

t p = through point

s = slope

y - y(t \: p) = (s) \times ( \: x - x(t \: p) \: ) \\

y - ( - 7) =  \frac{5}{2} \times (x - 4) \\

y + 7 =  \frac{5}{2} \times (x - 4) \\

y + 7 =  \frac{5}{2}x -  \frac{5 \times 4}{2} \\

y +7 =  \frac{5}{2}x -  \frac{20}{2} \\

Subtract both sides -7

y =  \frac{5}{2}x -  10 - 7 \\

y =  \frac{5}{2}x -   17 \\

And we're done....

A certain bacteria is growing at a rate of 4 percent each day. If the culture of bacteria has 5,000 bacteria today, how many bac
Snezhnost [94]
This is the concept of exponential growth, To get the number of bacteria after 10 days we use the formula:
f(t)=ae^(kt)
where;
a=initial number=5000
k=constant of proportionality= 0.04
t=time=10 days
f(t)=future number
thus the number of bacteria in 10 days will be:
f(t)=5000e^(0.04*10)
f(t)=7,459.12
The answer is 7,459.12

Students were surveyed about their favorite colors 1/4 of the students preferred read 1/8 of the students preferred blue and 3/5
Elanso [62]

Answer: the number of students that were surveyed is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = total number of students that were surveyed about their favorite colors

1/4 of the students preferred red.

This means that the number of students that preferred red is 1/4 × x = x/4

1/8 of the students preferred blue.

This means that the number of students that preferred blue is 1/8 × x = x/8

The remaining number of students will be the total number of students - the sum of the number of students that preferred red and the number of students that preferred blue. It becomes

x - (x/4 + x/8) = x - 3x/8 = 5x/8

3/5 of the remaining students were for green. This means that the number of students that preferred green is 3/5 × 5x/8 = 3x/8

if 15 students prefer green, then

3x/8 = 15

3x = 120

x = 120/3 = 40 students

Find the values of x:<br><br> I don’t understand how to do this please help
goblinko [34]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

11x - 34 and 7x - 2 are vertical angles and congruent, thus

11x - 34 = 7x - 2 ( subtract 7x from both sides )

4x - 34 = - 2 ( add 34 to both sides )

4x = 32 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 8

-----------------------

11x - 34 = 11(8) - 34 = 88 - 34 = 54

18y and 11x - 34 are adjacent angles and supplementary , thus

18y + 54 = 180 ( subtract 54 from both sides )

18y = 126 ( divide both sides by 18 )

y = 7
