Goryan [66]3 years ago

Answer:

£480

Step-by-step explanation:

x = the original price of a computer

£x = 100% of the original price

The price of a computer was decreased by 30% to £336.

This means:

£336 = 100% - 30%

£336 = 70% of the original price

From this, we will find 1% of the original price.

£336 ÷ 70 = 1%

£4.8 = 1%

Since the original price ( x ) = 100% of the original price, we will find 100% of the original price.

£4.8 × 100 = 100%

£480 = 100%

Therefore, the original price of a computer = £480

Find the value of X.
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

x = 18.46

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the last angle of the triangle.

180-90-72 = 18

The cosine of an angle is equal to the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.

cos(b) = adj/hyp

CosB=a/c rewrite to get

6/CosB (72)  = 19.41

Find the last side of the triangle using the Pythagorean theorem.

b=square root c^2 - a^2

b=square root 376.99 - 36

b= 18.46

Kellen bought new fish for her home aquarium. She bought 4 turquoise guppies and 3 sunburst tetra GLO fish and spent a total of
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer: A single turquoise guppy costs $3.69

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use "x" to represent the amount a single turquoise is sold and use "y" to represent that of the Glo fish.

Since Kellen bought 4 guppies and 3 glo fishes for $41.73:

4x + 3y = 41.73 --------eqn 1

Similarly, Danielle purchased 3 guppies and 5 Glo fish for $56.02:

Therefore 3x + 5y = $56.02 -----eqn2

The 2 equations are;

4x + 3y = 41.73 (eqn 1)

3x + 5y = 56.02 (eqn 2)

We then solve the simultaneous equations using substitution method:

From eqn 1,

4x + 3y = 41.73

4x = 41.73 - 3y

x = (41.73 - 3y)/4

Substitute x for (41.73 - 3y)/4 in eqn2.

3[(41.73 - 3y)/4 + 5y = 56.02

11y + 125.19 = 224.08

11y =98.89

y = 98.89/11

y = $8.99

So, 1 Glo fish costs $8.99

Then, substitute "y" for 8.99 in equation 1

4x + (3×8.99) = 41.73

4x + 26.97 = 41.73

4x = 41.73 - 26.97

4x = 14.76

x = 14.76/4

x = $3.69

Therefore 1 turquoise guppy costs $3.69
