The price of the tablet before the discount is $ 2667

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Marina paid $2,000 for a tablet PC after receiving a 25 percent discount

To find: The price of the tablet before the discount

Let "a" be the price of the tablet before the discount or original price

After receiving a 25 percent discount means 25 percent discount in original price

Discount = 25 % of original price

Discount = 25 % of "a"

\begin{array}{l}{\text {discount}=\frac{25}{100} \times a} \\\\ {\text {discount}=0.25 a}\end{array}

Now we can say that,

<em>price of tablet after discount = price of the tablet before the discount - discount</em>

2000 = a - 0.25a

0.75a = 2000

a = 2666.67 ≈ 2667

Thus the price of the tablet before the discount is $ 2667

The amount of bacteria in a petri dish increases at a rate proportional to the amount present. At time t=0, the amount of bacter
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to be used is N=N0e^(kt)

N0 - amount of bacteria at time 0, which is 10g

t=2, 30g

30 = 10*e^(k*2)

3 = e^(2k)

2k = ln3

k = 0.5ln3

At t=6:

N = 10*e^(0.5ln3*6)

N = 10e^(3ln3)

N = 10e^ln27

N = 10*27 =270

So the amount of bacteria at t=6 is 270

The height of a distance marker is 8 2/13 feet. 4/5 of the pole is painted white and rest is painted blue. How much of the pole
Mashcka [7]
1) Convert the mixed number 8 and 2/13 into a fraction:

8 and 2/13 = 8 + 2/13 = (8*13 + 2) / 13 = 106 / 13

2) Calculate 4/5 of 106 / 13

(4 / 5) * ( 106 / 13) = (4*106) / (5*13) = 424 / 65

That is (390 + 34) / 65 = 390/65 + 34/65 = 6 + 34/65 is painted white

3) Calculate the rest

 (1/5) * (106 / 13) = 106 / 65 = 1 + 41/65 is painted blue
