Hello!

Here is how we solve this question.

We know that 2 shoes = 1 pair

So we subtract 2 from 16 until we reach 0, and count how many times we subtracted.

16-2=14

14-2=12

12-2=10

10-2=8

8-2=6

6-2=4

4-2=2

2-2=0

After we do repeated subtraction we find that Abigail has 8 pairs of shoes!

Hope this helps you with your question.

In a sale, a shopkeeper reduced the advertised selling price of a dress by 20%. This resulted in a profit of 4% over the cost pr
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

30% profit

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount by which the shopkeeper reduced the advertised selling price = 20%

The resulting profit over the cost price = 4%

Let x represent the initial advertised selling price, and let y represent the new selling price, and let c represent the cost price, we have;

x - 20% of x = y

x - x × 20/100 = y

0.8·x = y

y = c + 4% of c = 1.04·c

∴ 0.8·x = 1.04·c

x = 1.04·c/0.8 = 1.3·c

x = 1.3·c = c + 0.3·c = c + 30% of c

x = c + 30% of c

From which we have that the initial advertised selling price, x = The cost price + 30% of the  cost price

Therefore, the initial advertised selling price = The cost price + 30%profit on   cost price.

The shopkeeper would have made 30% profit if the dress had then been sold at the original selling price.

The shortest side of an isosceles triangle is 26 cm less than twice as long as the other sides. The perimeter of the triangle is
densk [106]

Answer:

22 cm, 24 cm, and 24 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Isosceles Triangle is a type of triangle in which two of the three sides are equal in length. The perimeter is 70 cm. Therefore, in this question, since the sides are unknown, we can assume that:

Length of the shorter side = x cm.

Length of the other sides = y cm.

The relationship between x and y is given by:

x = (2y - 26) cm (because it is mentioned that the shortest side is 26 cm less than twice as long as the other sides).

Perimeter of a triangle = sum of all sides.

Since its an isosceles triangle, therefore:

Perimeter of the triangle = x + 2y.

Substituting the values in the perimeter formula gives:

Perimeter of the triangle = 2y - 26 + 2y.

70 = 4y - 26.

4y = 96.

y = 24 cm.

Substituting y = 24 in the equation x = 2y - 26 gives x = 2(24) - 26 = 22 cm.

So in the ascending order, the lengths are 22 cm, 24 cm, and 24 cm!!!

Solve the system by elimination please help me
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

x = 3 and y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

  2x + y = 13

<u>+    x - y = -4</u>      (adding both equations)

 3x - 0y = 9

        3x = 9

          x = 9/3

          x = 3

now substituting

x - y = -4

3 - y = -4

  - y = -4 - 3

  - y = -7

    y = 7     (the negative sign on both sides get canceled)

Therefore,

x = 3 and y = 7

Happy to help :)
