We are given original selling price of book = $b.

Price is marked down by 46%.

46% can be written as 46/100 in decimals it would be 0.46.

Therefore, markdown as a decimal is 0.46

Now, markdown is 0.46 of original price = 0.46b

Therefore, new price after marked down can be written by expression =

b - 0.46b = 0.56b.

<h3>Therefore, the expression for the sale price of the hardcover book is 0.56b.</h3>

If original retail price was = $29.00.

The sale price would be 0.56b = 29*0.56 = $15.66.

Total saving = 29-15.66 = $13.34.

Therefore, you save $13.34 by paying the sale price $15.66.

Lemon drops and jelly beans are mixed to make a 100 pound mix. if the lemon drops cost $1.90 per pound and jelly beans cost $1.2
vladimir1956 [14]

L = lemon drops

J = jelly beans

L +J = 100

L=100-J

1.90L + 1.20J=1.48*100

1.90(100-j) +1.20J =148

190-1.90J+1.20J=148

190-0.7J=148

-0.7J=-42

J = 60

L=100-60 = 40

Byron can fill a drying rack with dishes in 15 minutes. While Byron fills the drying rack, Emmitt takes dishes out of the drying
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Hi!

The correct answer is d) 1 over 15 minus 1 over x equals x over 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the amount of time that Byron can fill a drying rack with dishes: 15 minutes.

We know the amount of time that Byron can fill a drying rack with dishes while Emmitt is taking dishes out of the drying rack: 35 minutes.

We don't know the amount of time that Emmitt can take dishes out of the drying rack: x minutes.

So, if Byron is filling the drying rack in 15 minutes and Emmitt is taking out the dishes at x minutes, it takes 35 minutes to fill the drying rack.

\frac{1}{15}-\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{35} <em>// multiply by 105x both sides.</em>

105x\frac{1}{15}-105x\frac{1}{x} =105x \frac{1}{35} <em>// simplifly</em>

7x - 105 = 3x<em> //substract 3x and add 105 in both sides</em>

7x - 3x - 105 + 105 = 3x - 3x + 105 <em>// solve</em>

4x =  105 <em>//</em> <em>divide by 4 in both sides</em>

\frac{4x}{4} =  \frac{105}{4} <em>// solve</em>

x =  26.25

It makes sense that Byron fills the rack faster than Emmitt empties the rack.
