We can solve this by finding one of the numbers first
Let the smaller number be y.
Since these 2 numbers are consecutive odd numbers, the larger number should be 2 more than the smaller one (y+2).
Therefore,
y + (y+2) = 284
2y +2 = 284
shift +2 to the other side and turn it into -2
2y = 284 - 2
2y = 282
shift x2 to the other side and turn it into /2
y = 282/2
y = 141
Now we got the smaller number, which is 141, we can also find the larger number by adding 2 to it. 141+2 = 143,
Therefore, your answer is 141 and 143
Answer:
567.69
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p represent the original price
The Mark up is 27%
= 27/100
= 0.27
= p + 0.27p
= 1.27p
The retail price for pants is
= 1.27(74)
= 93.98
The retail price for suit jacket is
= 1.27(325)
= 412.75
The retail price for dress shirt is
= 1.27(48)
= 60.96
Therefore the markup for a pair of pants, dress shirts and suit jacket can be calculated as follows
= 93.98 + 412.75 + 60.96
= 567.69
Answer: J(25) + JS(5) = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
J = Jason
JS = Jason Sister.
ΔABC and ΔCBD are similar. Therefore we have the proportion:
Substitute:
<em>cross multiply</em>
Answer: The height of the stuffed toy canary is 18 inches so Jesus is right.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can represent the first statement by the equation 22= 2x - 14 where x is the height of the stuffed toy canary so solve for x
22 = 2x -14 Add 14 to both sides
+14 +14
36 = 2x Divide both sides by 2
x = 18
Jesus is right.
