If it is on sale for 15%, then you are paying 85% (100-15) of the original price.
To find 85% of 850, you do 850*.85 to get $722.50
Hope this helps
Answer:
-11 + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
When you subtract a negative the sign will switch to plus, so it this case you would switch the - (-4) to a + 4 but you don't change the -11 at the front.
What we are going to do is use the DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY. This distributive the numbers, to make it easier to solve.
So we will break 64 up.
64 = 60 + 4
43 = 40 + 3
60 + 40 = 100
4 + 3 = 7
100 + 7 = 107
So, 64 + 43 = 107.

Answer:
- 273 mL of 5%
- 117 mL of 15%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let q represent the quantity of 15% dressing used. Then the amount of 5% dressing is (390 -q). The amount of vinegar in the mix is ...
0.15q + 0.05(390 -q) = 0.08(390)
0.10q = 31.2 -19.5 = 11.7 . . . . . . subtract 0.05(390) and simplify
q = 117 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 10
390-q = 273
The chef should use 273 mL of the first brand (5% vinegar) and 117 mL of the second brand (15% vinegar).

<em>Additional comment</em>
You may have noticed that the value of q is (0.08 -0.05)/(0.10 -0.05)×390. The fraction of the mix that is the highest contributor is the ratio of the difference between the mix value and least contributor, divided by the difference between the contributors: (8-5)/(15-5) = 3/10, the fraction that is 15% vinegar. This is the generic solution to mixture problems.
