Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We see that if you add 5% to the original cost, we have $168 as our cost. This means that 105% of the original cost is 168. Let's set up an equation to find the original cost. Let's call our original cost c.

To turn a percent into a decimal, you divide by 100.

1.05c=168

We divide both sides by 1.05.

c=160

Therefore, the original cost was $160.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Rock musician Donny West is paid 15% on his CD sales and tour video sales. Last year, he sold one million CDs and 550,000 videos

olganol [36]

He had $5,000,000 in CD sales; $3,300,000 in video sales; and he earned $1,245,000 in royalties.

1,000,000 CDs * $5 each = $5,000,000
550,000 videos * $6 each = $3,300,000

Total sales = 5,000,000+3,300,000 = 8,300,000
15% royalties = 0.15(8,300,000) = 1,245,000

a high school stage collapsed in Fullerton, California, when 250 students got on stage for the finale of a musical production. T

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, the important information we get from this is that the stage can support 12,750 students. We are asked, if the average weight of a student is 140 pounds, what is the maximum number of students that can be on the stage safely?

To solve, we simply divide 12,750 by 140.

$x=\frac{12,750}{140}$

$x= 91.07$

We get 91.07 as our answer. Since we are considering the maximum number of students, then we must round 91.07 to the nearest whole number which would be 91.

The maximum number of students who could safely be on the stage is 91.
