A chess set is on sale for $75.00, which is 40% off of its original price. What was the original price of the chess set?

1 answer:

5 0

Okay, to solve this, let's use the variable 'p' to represent the original price:
Because we know the amount of discount and the percentage off, we know that 60% of the original price is $75.
Knowing this, we can write an equation:
0.6p = 75
There are multiple ways to solve this, but I'll just use the method I prefer
6p = 750
p = 750/6
p = 125
The original price of the chess set was $125

13, start with 24, right? 24 plus 6 is 30. 30 minus 12 is 18. 18 minus 5 is 13.

Find the value of kk for which the constant function x(t)=kx(t)=k is a solution of the differential equation 5t3dxdt+2x−2=05t3dx

uranmaximum [27]

Given the differential equation

$5t^3 \frac{dx}{dt} +2x-2=0$

The solution is as follows:

$5t^3 \frac{dx}{dt} +2x-2=0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow5t^3 \frac{dx}{dt} =2-2x \\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{5}{2-2x} dx= \frac{1}{t^3} dt \\ \\ \Rightarrow \int {\frac{5}{2-2x} } \, dx = \int {\frac{1}{t^3}} \, dt \\ \\ \Rightarrow- \frac{5}{2} \ln(2-2x)=- \frac{1}{2t^2} +A \\ \\ \Rightarrow\ln(2-2x)= \frac{1}{5t^2} +B\\ \\ \Rightarrow2-2x=Ce^{\frac{1}{5t^2}} \\ \\ \Rightarrow 2x=Ce^{\frac{1}{5t^2}}+2 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x=De^{\frac{1}{5t^2}}+1$
