Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's disect the problem. Three times a particular number plus fourteen equals 20. Let's make an equation, and replace the number with x.

<h2>3x + 14 = 20</h2><h3>The "3x" represents the 3 times the number,</h3><h3>the 14 represents the 14 added to make 20.</h3><h2>Let's solve the equation!</h2>

We'll first minus 14 from each side to balance the equation, but with the intention of isolating the variable, x.

We have almost successfully isolated the variable. To isolate the variable, we can divide by three on each side.

<h2>x = 2</h2><h2>The number is 2.</h2>

When k=7 and q=35 find the value of p in direct proportion method

Arisa [49]

I think the answer is 5.

y = kx is the equation for direct proportionality. I’m guessing your “q” is the “y”, because 35 is easily divisible by 7.

35 = 7x
x = 5

What is the value of z?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount = Original price - discount price

= 22.50 - 13.50

= $ 9

Discount percentage = $\frac{9}{22.50}*100\\\\$

= 40%

Discount percentage = 40%

Tax = 14.31 - 13.50 = $0.81

Tax% = $\frac{0.81}{13.50}*100\\\\$ = 6%

Tax percentage = 6%

Tax = 6% of 16.20

= 0.06 * 16.20

= 0.972

Tax = $ 0.97

Total price (including tax )= 16.20 + 0.97 = $ 17.17

x = $ 17.17

<u>Item 3:</u>

Discount = 40% of 32.50

= 0.4 * 32.50

= $ 13

y = 32.50 -13

y = $ 19. 50

Tax = 6% of 19.50

= 0.06 * 19.50

= 1.17

z = 1.17 + 19.50

Z =$ 20.67
