The price of an item has been reduced by 40%. The original price was $60. What is the price of the item now?

To reduce the item by 40%, you first need to find the 40% of 60. Multiply 0.4*60 and you will get 24. That is 40%. Now you need to subtract that from the original. 60-24 is 36 dollars and that is your answer.

A jar has 570 marbles of different colors.The ratio of red to blue marbles are 2:3 and red to green is 4:5.how many marbles of e
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The number of red marbles = 152

The number of blue marbles = 228 and

the number of green marbles = 190

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of red marbles, y be the number of blue marbles and z be the number of green marbles.

It is given that the total marbles = 570.

Therefore, x + y + z = 570 --- (1)

It is also given that the ratio of red to blue marbles is 2 : 3.

Therefore, x : y = 2 : 3

or 3x = 2y --- (2)

It is also given that the ratio of red to green marbles is 4 : 5.

Therefore, x : z = 4 : 5

or 5x = 4z --- (3)

From (2), y=\frac{3x}{2}

From (3), z=\frac{5x}{4}

Substituting the above in (1), we get,

x+\frac{3x}{2} +\frac{5x}{4} =570

Multiply both sides by 4.

4x + 6x + 5x = 2280

15x = 2280

Divide both sides by 15.

x = 152

Hence,

y = \frac{3(152)}{2}

y = 228

z = \frac{5(152)}{4}

z = 190

Therefore,

The number of red marbles = 152

The number of blue marbles = 228 and

the number of green marbles = 190

<u>Check:</u>

Total number of marbles = 152 + 228 + 190 = 570

Ratio of red to blue marbles = 152 : 228 = 2 : 3

Ratio of red t green marbles = 152 : 190 = 4 : 5

A<br> Write the equation for<br> line that<br> passes through (1, 1) and (-1,7)
KengaRu [80]

Answer:y=-3x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the two points:

(1,1) and (-1,7).

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

First, let's find what m is, the slope of the line...

The slope of a line is a measure of how fast the line "goes up" or "goes down". A large slope means the line goes up or down really fast (a very steep line). Small slopes means the line isn't very steep. A slope of zero means the line has no steepness at all; it is perfectly horizontal.

For lines like these, the slope is always defined as "the change in y over the change in x" or, in equation form:

So what we need now are the two points you gave that the line passes through. Let's call the first point you gave, (1,1), point #1, so the x and y numbers given will be called x1 and y1. Or, x1=1 and y1=1.

Also, let's call the second point you gave, (-1,7), point #2, so the x and y numbers here will be called x2 and y2. Or, x2=-1 and y2=7.

Now, just plug the numbers into the formula for m above, like this:

m=

7 - 1

-1 - 1

or...

m=

6

-2

or...

m=-3

So, we have the first piece to finding the equation of this line, and we can fill it into y=mx+b like this:

y=-3x+b

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:

(1,1). When x of the line is 1, y of the line must be 1.

(-1,7). When x of the line is -1, y of the line must be 7.

Because you said the line passes through each one of these two points, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: y=-3x+b. b is what we want, the -3 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the two points (1,1) and (-1,7).

So, why not plug in for x and y from one of our (x,y) points that we know the line passes through? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the two points you gave!.

You can use either (x,y) point you want..the answer will be the same:

(1,1). y=mx+b or 1=-3 × 1+b, or solving for b: b=1-(-3)(1). b=4.

(-1,7). y=mx+b or 7=-3 × -1+b, or solving for b: b=7-(-3)(-1). b=4.

See! In both cases we got the same value for b. And this completes our problem.

The equation of the line that passes through the points

(1,1) and (-1,7)

is

y=-3x+4
