Answer:

Half the age of Carlos four years ago is 2 years more than one-third his current age.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write a word problem for the equation.

\frac{1}{2} (x - 4) =  \frac{1}{3}x + 2

Let x represent the present age of Carlos.

Four years ago, Carlos was x-4 years.

Half his age four years ago is ½(x-4)

Two years more than one-third his current age is ⅓x+2

Tom bought a PS4 on Black Friday for 25% off. If the system sells for $399, what is the sales price of the PS4?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The sales price of the PS4 is $532.

Step-by-step explanation:

The system sells for $399 after giving 25% off on a Black Friday on the sales price.

Let the sales price of the PS4 system is $x.

Then after giving 25% discount the price will become x(1 - \frac{25}{100}) = 0.75x

Therefore, 0.75x = 399

⇒ x = 532  

Therefore, the sales price of the PS4 is $532. (Answer)

loris [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

 

Hi there,

If the boy wants 80 small action figures

Rename the number 780000 = 78
AfilCa [17]
<span>We need to rename the given number which is 780 000 into 78 ________.
=> But before we rename it, we need to find the value of 78
=> Since this is a 6 digit whole number, we have ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands.
=> 7 = hundred thousands
=> 8 = ten thousands
=> 7 hundred thousands + 8 ten thousands
=> Thus, the renamed of 780 000 is 7 hundred 8 ten thousands.
