so she saved $20 and that was 40% of the regular price, let's say the regular price is "x".

if 20 is 40%, what is "x" or namely the 100%?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount0&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 20&40\\ x&100 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{20}{x}=\cfrac{40}{100}\implies \cfrac{20}{x}=\cfrac{2}{5}\implies 100=2x \\\\\\ \cfrac{100}{2}=x\implies 50=x

The measures of two exterior angles of a decagon are 97° and 89°. What is the sum of the remaining exterior angles?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

the sum of the remaining exterior angles is 174⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

the measure of two exterior angles of a decagon = 97° and 89°

The total sum of exterior angles of a polygon is 360⁰

let the sum of the remaining exterior angles = x

sum of the given exterior angles = 97⁰ + 89⁰ = 186⁰

x + 186⁰ = 360⁰

x = 360⁰ - 186⁰

x = 174⁰

Therefore, the sum of the remaining exterior angles is 174⁰

A publisher needs to send many books to a local book retailer and will send the books in a combination of small and large boxes.
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Answer:

\{ {{20x+30y=280} \atop {y=4x}} .{

y=4x

20x+30y=280

.

Where xx is the number of small boxes sent and yy is the number of large boxes sent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be xx the number of small boxes sent and yy the number of large boxes sent.

Since each small box can hold 20 books (20x20x ), each large box can hold 30 books (30y30y )and altogether can hold a total of 280 books, we can write the following equation to represent this:

20x+30y=28020x+30y=280

According to the information provided in the exercise, there were 4 times as many large boxes sent as small boxes. This can be represented with this equation:

y=4xy=4x

Therefore, the system of equation that be used to determine the number of small boxes sent and the number of large boxes sent, is:

\{ {{20x+30y=280} \atop {y=4x}} .{

y=4x

20x+30y=280

Solve for x.<br> 4<br> 15<br> 6<br> X<br> x = [?]<br> Enter the number in decimal form
posledela

Answer:

x / 6 + 4 = 15

To find x ;

Subtrac4 from both sides

x / 6 + 4 - 4 = 15 - 4

x / 6 = 11

Multiply both sides by 6

x / 6 * 6 = 11 * 6

x = 66

Value of x = 66
