A decrease by 30%, means that the price is now 70% of the original price ( 100% - 30% = 70%)

To find the original price divide the new price by the percent of the original price it is now.

147 / 0.70 = 210

The original price was £210

choli [55]

Answer: $6\ \text{miles}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A delivery service charge $\$1.25$ for each delivery

and an additional $\$0.75$ for each mile traveled

Suppose, x miles are covered

The charge is given by

$\Rightarrow 5.75=1.25+0.75x\\\Rightarrow 4.5=0.75x\\\Rightarrow x=6\ \text{miles}$

Therefore, driver traveled 6 miles for delivery

Answers:

10. b. $\displaystyle 13$

9. b. $\displaystyle 20$

8. a. $\displaystyle 33$

7. a. $\displaystyle 25°$

Step-by-step explanations:

10. Both segments are considered congruent, so turn both expressions into an equation:

$\displaystyle 3x - 5 = x + 7 \hookrightarrow \frac{-12}{-2} = \frac{-2x}{-2} \\ \\ 6 = x$

Plug this back into the equation to get $\displaystyle 13$ on both sides.

9. All edges in a square obtain congruent right angles and edges, so set $\displaystyle 45$ equivalent to the given expression:

$\displaystyle 45 = 2x + 5 \hookrightarrow \frac{40}{2} = \frac{2x}{2} \\ \\ \boxed{20 = x}$

8. Both angles are considered supplementary, so turn both expressions into an equation and set it to one hundred eighty degrees:

$\displaystyle 180 = (4x - 15)° + (x + 30)° \hookrightarrow 180° = (15 + 5x)° \hookrightarrow \frac{165}{5} = \frac{5x}{5} \\ \\ \boxed{33 = x}$

7. In this rectangle, segment EO is a segment bisectour, making these angles Complementary Angles. Therefore, set an equation up to find its complement:

$\displaystyle 90° = 65° + m\angle{VOE} \\ \\ \boxed{25° = m\angle{VOE}}$

I am joyous to assist you at any time.
