Answer:

36 runners finished the race.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first half of the race, 1/4 of them dropped, so we need to calculate 1/4 of 80:

(1/4) * 80 = 80/4 = 20

If 20 runners dropped out, now we have 80 - 20 = 60 runners.

Then, in the second half, 2/5 of the remaining runners dropped out, so:

(2/5) * 60 = 2*60/5 = 120/5 = 24

If 24 runners dropped out, now we have 60 - 24 = 36 runners.

So, 36 runners finished the race.

The amount of tax for each camera is $5.25 and the tax rate is 6%. Explain how the equation: (Original Cost)(Percent) = Tax Amou
Degger [83]

x(1.06)=5.25

The reason it is 1.06 is because it is the original cost plus tax. You can divide each side by 1.06 to get x roughly equals 4.95.

So $4.95 is roughly what the camera costs rounded to the nearest cent.

Question 25
AysviL [449]

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to calculate the money that Seth would spent if he goes to 30 movies if his father gets the summer movie pass by adding up the cost of the pass plus the result of multiplying the cost per movie with the pass for the number of movies:

30+(3*30)=30+90=120

Second, you need to calculate the money that Seth would spent if he goes to 30 movies without the pass by multiplying the normal price per movie for the number of movies:

8*30=240

Third, you need to find the difference between both costs:

240-120=120

According to this, the answer is that if Seth plans to go to 30 movies this summer, he would save 120.
