Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We require 2 equations with the repeating decimal after the decimal point in both equations.
The bar above 136 indicates that 136 is being repeated
let x = 0.136136...... → (1) Multiply both sides by 1000
1000x = 136.136.... → (2)
Subtract (1) from (2) to eliminate the decimal part
999x = 136 ( divide both sides by 999 )
x =
Answer:
$78, $79.20
Step-by-step explanation:
PART A: $60 times 1.3 = $78
you add 30% to 100% to get 130% since it is a mark up, and then you convert to a decimal by going to the left twice then multiplying by original price.
PART B
Since it is a discount you subtract 15 percent from 100, but then add back 5 percent since there is tax applied to get 90%, convert to decimal and multiply by original price to get $88 x .9 = $79.20
You are buying 2 items so let's use two different variables to represent each:
p = number of tubes of paint
b = number of disposable brushes
cost = price per item × number of items
Equations from information given:
4p + 0.50b = 20 ← from the first 2 sentences
2p = b ← if there are twice as many brushes as paint tubes you need 2 times paint tubes to equal number of brushes
Solve the problem by using substitution... 1b equals 2p so replace b with that:
4p + 0.50(2p) = 20
4p + 1p = 20 ← 0.50 is half so half of 2p is 1p
5p = 20 ← combine like terms
p = 4 ← divide both sides of the equation by 5
Recall the equation 2p = b replace p with 4
2(4) = b
8 = b
ANSWER:
You purchased 4 tubes of paint and 8 disposable brushes.
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
-10-(-20)
A negative and a negative is addition
-10+20=10
Answer:
population = 5652 people
Step-by-step explanation:
area = πr² = (3.14)(6²) = 113.04 mi²
at 50 people/mi², then 113.04 x 50 = 5652 people
