R=percentage of discount
$12.95= (1-\frac{r}{100} )p$
so we get
$\frac{12.95}{(1-\frac{r}{100} )}=p$

Jack divided his fortune of 92,000 into 8 equal portions.He gave 4 portions to his wife , 1 portion to his son and divided the r

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Jack divided his fortune of 92,000 into 8 equal portions.He gave 4 portions to his wife , 1 portion to his son and divided the remaining portions equally among 5 charities.

The portion son gets = $1/8 of 92000 = 11500 $$

Charity on the whole gets = 3 portions = $3/8 *92000 = 34500$$

Each charity gets = $34500/5 = 6900$$

Thus we find son gets 11500 dollars while each charity gets 6900 dollars.

The difference = $11500-6900\\= 4600$

4600 dollars he got more.

Solve this with me plz plz plz plz

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

5b+1c=3b+5c

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the variable c for the circles and b for the boxes.

The weights are the same on both sides, so count the boxes and circles on each side.

There are 5 boxes and 1 circle on the left side. The left side of the equation says 5b+1c.

There are 3 boxes and 5 circles on the right side. The right side of the equation says 3b+5c.

And since the 2 sides are equal, you split the 2 sides of the equation with =.

5b+1c=3b+5c

What are the solution of x^2-2x+17=0

ddd [48]

Answer:

<h2>x = 1 - 4i or x = 1 + 4i</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2-2x+17=0\qquad\text{subtract 17 from both sides}\\\\x^2-2x=-17\\\\x^2-2(x)(1)=-17\qquad\text{add}\ 1^2\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x^2-2(x)(1)+1^2=-17+1^2\qquad\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\(x-1)^2=-17+1\\\\(x-1)^2=-16$

$x-1=-4i\ \vee\ x-1=4i\qquad\text{add 1 to both sides}\\\\x=1-4i\ \vee\ x=1+4i$
