Answer:
I thjink you meant irrational but it’s rational and has the ratio of two integers
Step-by-step explanation:
The way I would approach such a question is to put it into equations.
My first equation would be 16x+19y=478 which represents $16 on ski's per person and $19 on snowboards must add up to $478
My second would be x+y=28 because the number of skis and snowboards rented must add up to 28 so each person has one item.
Next you solve them simultaniously. Gonna use elimination
16x+19y=478 (1)
<span>x+y=28 (2) </span>
16x+16y=448 (3 = equation 2 * 16)
(1)-(3) => 3y=30 y = 10.
So now we know that 10 people rented snow boards. Just sub that into eq (2) and get x = 18. So 10 people got snow boards and 18 ski's.
To check, 10x19 = 190
16x18= 228
190+228=478 which works out perfectly!
Answer: 35.88
Step-by-step explanation: So if something is marked up by 8.7% it means, it is 108.7% of the original number.
So we can convert 108.7% to a decimal by dividing 108.7 by 100, which equals 1.087.
So if we want to find the original number, all we have to do is divide 39 by 1.087.
This will give us 35.88 as the original number rounded to the nearest tenth.
