Answer:

15000

Step-by-step explanation:

We have, 60% × x = 900 or,

100

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 60,

You want to walk from home to a clothing store that is 3/4 miles away. You stop for a rest after 1/2 miles. How much farther do

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

1/4 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

If I want to walk from my house to a clothing store 3/4 of a mile away, this implies that the location is 0.75 miles from my home.

Now, if after walking 1/2 mile I decide to stop, I will have traveled 0.5 miles in total. In this way, when I get back on my way, I will have to travel 0.25 miles to reach my destination (0.75 - 0.50).

Therefore, since 1 divided by 4 equals 0.25, I have to walk 1/4 mile to reach my destination.

Reuben bought a desktop computer and a laptop computer. Before finance charges, the laptop cost $150 more than the desktop. He p

cupoosta [38]

Same case as Pablo's, more or less.

a = price for the desktop

b = price for the laptop

we know the laptop is 150 bucks more than the desktop, b = a + 150.

how much is 7% of a? (7/100) * a, 0.07a.

how much is 9.5% of b? (9.5/100) * b, 0.095b.

total interests for the financing add up to 303, 0.07a + 0.095b = 303.

$\bf \begin{cases}
\boxed{b}=a+150\\
0.07a+0.095b=303\\
----------\\
0.07a+0.095\left(\boxed{a+150} \right)=303
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
0.07a+0.095a+14.25=303\implies 0.165a=288.75
\\\\\\
a=\cfrac{288.75}{0.165}\implies a=1750$

how much was it for the laptop? well b = a + 150.
