a) The expression to find the sale price of pastry =  0.75 x

b)  The regular price of the pastry bought by Kimberly = $2.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let x be the regular price of the pastry in the bakery

Percentage of discount = 25%

Amount of discount  = 0.25 x

The expression to find the sale price of pastry = x - 0.25 x = 0.75 x

Step 2 :

Sale price of the pastry bought by Kimberly = $2.03 = 0.75 x

<u>To find the regular price</u>

0.75x = 2.03

x = \frac{2.03}{0.75} = 2.70

Regular price of the pastry bought by Kimberly = $2.70

Step 3 :

Answer :

a) The expression to find the sale price of pastry =  0.75 x

b) The regular price of the pastry bought by Kimberly = $2.70

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

18.75 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The given scenario can be drawn as shown in the following attachment.

Given that,

m\angle DCE=\angle ACB and m\angle DEC=\angle ABC=90^{\circ}

Therefore, \Delta ABC\sim \Delta DEC

\Rightarrow \dfrac{AB}{DE}=\dfrac{BC}{EC}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{AB}{5}=\dfrac{15}{4}

\Rightarrow AB=\dfrac{15\times 5}{4}=18.75 ft

AB is the height of the house.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The manual cost that will take to recreate by the firm is $ 90.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of words the manual contains= 16000

Number of words typed by a clerk in one hour and 20 minutes = 4160

To Find:

The total cost for recreating the manual = ?

Solution:

Step 1:  Finding the Number of hours is need to type 4160 words :

= 1\frac{20}{60} hours

\\\\=1\frac{1}{3} hours

\\\\=\frac{4}{3} hours

So it takes  \frac{4}{3} hours to type 4160 word

Step 2 :  Finding the Number of hours is needed to type 1 word  

= \frac{4160}{\frac{4}{3}}

=4160 \times \frac{3}{4}

= 3120 words per hour

Step 3 :  Finding the Number of hours is needed to type 16000 words

=\frac{\text{ total number of words}} {\text{ number of words written per hour}}

Substituting the values

= \frac{16000}{3120}

=  5.1282 hours

Step 4 :  Finding the cost for recreating the manual.

= number of hours  x cost per hour

=   5.1282 x $17.65

=  90.51

How many distinct triangles can be formed for which m∠E = 64°, g = 9, and e = 10?
zysi [14]

Answer:

1) one

2) zero

Step-by-step explanation:

e/sinE = g/sinG

10/sin64 = 9/sinG

sinG = 0.8089146417

G = 53.99

j/sinJ = k/sinK

3/sin129 = 8/sinK

sinK = 2.072389241
