Answer: the original price of the shorts was $25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the original price of the shorts.
The store is having a sale in which all items are reduced by 20%. This means that the amount of discount on the shorts is
20/100 × x = 0.2x
The price of the shorts would be
x - 0.2x = 0.8x
If the sales tax is 5%, then the amount of sales tax charged is
5/100 × 0.8x = 0.04x
The final cost of the shorts would be
0.8x + 0.04x = 0.84x
Including tax, Jennifer paid $21 for a pair of shorts. This means that
0.84x = 21
x = 21/0.84
x = 25
Answer:
There are 78 female members of the House of Representatives and 14 female members of the Senate.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let h equal the amount of female members of the House of Representatives and s equal the amount of female members in the Senate.
Since the amount of female officials in Congress is 92, and is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate, we can represent this as the equation h+s=92
Since there are 64 more female members in the House of Representatives than female Senators, the senators would need 64 more female members to have the same amount as the House of Representatives. We can represent this as h=s+64.
Substituting, we get s+64+s=92, which simplifies to 2s+64=92. Subtracting 64 from both sides, we get 2s=28, which equals to s=14. There are 14 female senators. Substituting back into h+s=92, 14+s=92, and s=78. Therefore, there are 78 female members of the House of Representatives and 14 female members of the Senate.
Answer: See below
Step-by-step explanation:
number of yellow pieces/number of blue pieces
= 14/24
= 7/12 --> 7 to 12 --> 7:12
The ratio that represents the number of yellow pieces to the total number of pieces is part-to-whole
number of yellow pieces/total number of pieces
= 14/100
= 7/50 --> 7 to 50 --> 7:50
The ratio that represents the number of blue pieces to the total number of pieces is part-to-whole
= 24/100
= 6/25 --> 6 to 25 --> 6:25
We have that
scale factor=1 in/2.5 miles
<span>the actual area of a lake is 12 square miles
</span>we know that
[area on the map]=[scale factor]²*[area actual]
[area on the map]=[1/2.5]²*[12]-----> 1.92 in²
the answer is
1.92 in²
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Problem One
All quadrilaterals have angles that add up to 360 degrees.
Tangents touch the circle in such a way that the radius and the tangent form a right angle at the point of contact.
Solution
x + 115 + 90 + 90 = 360
x + 295 = 360
x + 295 - 295 = 360 - 295
x = 65
Problem Two
From the previous problem, you know that where the 6 and 8 meet is a right angle.
Therefore you can use a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a = 6
b =8
c = ?
6^2 + 8^2 = c^2
c^2 = 36 + 64
c^2 = 100
sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(100)
c = 10
x = 10
Problem 3
No guarantees on this one. I'm not sure how the diagram is set up. I take the 4 to be the length from the bottom of the line marked 10 to the intersect point of the tangent with the circle.
That means that the measurement left is 10 - 4 = 6
x and 6 are both tangents from the upper point of the line marked 10.
Therefore x = 6
