A TV goes on sale with a discount of 28%. The original price of the TV is $942. What is the sales price of the TV?

Harlamova29_29 [7]

A percentage is equivalent to a fraction, a percentage is out of 100 therefore the fraction for this can be 28/100, as a decimal this would be .28. Therefore to solve this problem you would set up the problem as, 942 x .28= 263.76, you then take that number and subtract it from the original price of the tv, and you get the final price, of $678.24.

You are wakeboarding on a river. You travel 2 miles downstream to a marina for supplies, and then you travel 3 miles upstream to

Zielflug [23.3K]

Let x represent the speed of of boat.

We have been given that the river current is 3 miles per hour.

The speed of boat upstream will be $x-3$ .

The speed of boat downstream would be $x+3$ .

$\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

We have been given that you travel 2 miles downstream to a marina for supplies, and then you travel 3 miles upstream to a dock.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

$\text{Time}=\frac{2}{x+3}+\frac{3}{x-3}$

Since the speed of the boat is 18 miles per hour, so we will substitute $x=18$ in above equation and solve for time.

$\text{Time}=\frac{2}{18+3}+\frac{3}{18-3}$

$\text{Time}=\frac{2}{21}+\frac{3}{15}$

$\text{Time}=\frac{2}{21}+\frac{1}{5}$

$\text{Time}=\frac{2\cdot 5}{21\cdot 5}+\frac{1\cdot 21}{5\cdot 21}$

$\text{Time}=\frac{10}{105}+\frac{21}{105}$

$\text{Time}=\frac{31}{105}$

$\text{Time}=0.295238095$

Since time is in hours, so let us convert our given time in minutes.

1 hour = 60 minutes.

$\text{Time}=0.295238095\times 60\text{ minutes}$

$\text{Time}=17.7142857\text{ minutes}$

Rounding to nearest tenth of minute.

$\text{Time}\approx 17.7\text{ minutes}$

Therefore, it will take approximately 17.7 minutes for the boat to take the trip.
