Average=(total number)/(number of items)
given that the final exam counts as two test, let the final exam be x. The weight of the final exams on the average is 2, thus the final exam can be written as 2x because any score Shureka gets will be doubled before the averaging.
Hence our inequality will be as follows:
(67+68+76+63+2x)/6≥71
(274+2x)/6≥71
solving the above we get:
274+2x≥71×6
274+2x≥426
2x≥426-274
2x≥152
x≥76

b] The above answer is x≥76, the mean of this is that if Shureka is aiming at getting an average of 71 or above, then she should be able to get a minimum score of 76 or above. Anything less than 76 will drop her average lower than 71.

Given points A (0,0), B (4,0), C (0,2), D (0,0), E (2,0), and F (0,1), which of the following proves that

Similar triangles may or may not have equal side lengths

Triangles ABC and DEF are similar by SSS theorem

<h3>How to determine the similarity statement</h3>

The coordinates of the two triangles are:

A (0,0), B (4,0), C (0,2), D (0,0), E (2,0), and F (0,1)

Calculate the lengths of both triangles using the following distance formula

d = \sqrt{(x_2 -x_1)^2 + (y_2 -y_1)^2}

For triangle ABC, we have:

AB = \sqrt{(0 -4)^2 + (0 -0)^2} = 4

BC = \sqrt{(4 -0)^2 + (0 -2)^2} = 2\sqrt 5

CA = \sqrt{(0 -0)^2 + (0 -2)^2} = 2

For triangle DEF, we have:

DE = \sqrt{(0 -2)^2 + (0 -0)^2} = 2

EF = \sqrt{(2 -0)^2 + (0 -1)^2} = \sqrt 5

FD = \sqrt{(0 -0)^2 + (1 -0)^2} = 1

Divide corresponding sides of the triangles to calculate the scale factor k

k = \frac{AB}{DE} = \frac{BC}{EF} = \frac{CA}{FD}

This gives

k = \frac{4}{2} = \frac{2\sqrt 5}{\sqrt 5} = \frac{2}{1}

Evaluate the quotients

k = 2 = 2 = 2

Since the quotients are equal, then the triangles are similar

Hence, triangles ABC and DEF are similar by SSS theorem

A clothing store is selling a shirt for a discounted price of $43.61. If the discount is 11%, what was the original price, in do
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

$49

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the discounted price is $43.61 and this was at an 11% discount

hence the discounted price represents 100% - 11% = 89% of the original price.

if:

89% of original price = $43.61

1% of original price = $(43.61 / 89)

100% of original price = $(43.61 / 89) x 100 = $49
