Equation $26 - 3.50x = $8.50
x= 5 pens was bought
3.50 26.00
× 5= - 8.50= <---- when you subtract
17.50 17.50. the total and how
much is left over
you get $17.50
$17.50 equals how much was spent when buying the pens
Answer:
E
Step-by-step explanation:
When you perform an experiment on a population, the majority of the time, you cannot use the entire population, so instead you use a sample of that population.
In this case, you mark 130 MendAliens out of an unknown population. After that you capture 90, and see that 20 are marked. You can use this to assume that for every 90 MendAliens, you marked 20, so if you calculate that as a percentage, you would get 22.22%.
This means that you marked approximately 22% of the population, when you marked those 130 MendAliens. Using basic math, we can work backwards to calculate the total population.
Percentage (%) = Sample / Total
Inserting the values we know...
22.22% = 130 / Total
Rearranging the formula, we get...
Total = 130 / 22.22%
Since we know 22.22% is actually equal to (22.22 / 100)= 0.2222
Total = 130 / 0.2222
Total = 585
Answer: $81.60
Step-by-step explanation:
When we have an original price OP, and a markup of X% (this is how much increases the price with respect to the original price)
The retail price will be:
RP = OP + (X%/100%)*OP
RP = OP*(1 + X%/100%)
In this case, we have:
Original price = OP = $68
markup = X% = 20%
Replacing these in the above equation, we get:
RP= $68*(1 + 20%/100%) = $68*(1 + 0.20)
RP = $68*(1.20) = $81.60
Then the retail price of this particular item is $81.60
4x=20-8y
x=5-2y now use this value of x in the second equation...
3(5-2y)+6y=15
15-6y+6y=15
15=15 This is true for any y or x value.
So there are infinitely many solutions as the two equations describe the same line.
According to my calculations,
A. is the correct answer.
8√5
