Answer: $312.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lily spent one-fifth of her salary on a pair of shoes and then got $90 as a birthday present from her mom and was left with $340. To calculate the amount Lily had at first goes thus:

Since Lily spent 1/5 on shoes, that means she had (1 - 1/5) = 4/5 left.

Let the amount she had at first be y.

(4/5 of y) + 90 = 340

(4/5 × y) + 90 = 340

0.8y + 90 = 340

0.8y = 340 - 90

0.8y = 250

Divide both side by 0.8

0.8y/0.8 = 250/0.8

y= 312.5

She had $312.5 at first.

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

You bake 21 chocolate chip cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ratio of chocolate chip to oatmeal is 7:5, the ratio is now ?:15. You multiplied the number of oatmeal cookies by 3, which means you must now multiply the number of chocolate chip cookies by the same number. 7 times 3 is 21.

Which is the standard form of the equation of the parabola that has a vertex of (–4, –3) and a directrix of x = 2?
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Equation of the parabola is \left(y+3\right)^{2}=-24(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the equation of a parabola with vertex is (-4,-3) and a directrix x=2.

As vertex is (-4,-3) that means parabola is in third quadrant.

So the standard formula of the parabola will be y²= -4px through origin (0,0).

But when a parabola is shifted from origin to the left of y axis so the equation will be (y-shifting form y axis)² = -4(distance between vertex and directrix)(x-shifting from x axis)

\left\{y-(-3)\right\}^{2}=(-4\times 6)\left\{x-(-4)\right\}

\left(y+3\right)^{2}=-24(x+4).
