Answer: NP = 9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, the opposite sides are equal.

If the length of the longer side is MN, it means that the length of the two opposite longer sides is 2MN.

If the length of the shorter side is NP, it means that the length of the two opposite shorter sides is 2NP.

The perimeter is 2MN + 2NP

If the perimeter of MNPQ is 68 inches, it means that

2MN + 2NP = 68- - - - - - - - - - - -1

In parallelogram MNPQ, side MN is seven inches longer than twice the length of side NP. It means that

MN = 2NP + 7- - - - - - - - - - -2

Substituting equation 2 into equation 1, it becomes

2(2NP + 7) + 2NP = 68

4NP + 14 + 2NP = 68

4NP + 2NP = 68 - 14

6NP = 54

NP = 54/6

NP = 9 inches

Dave buys a baseball for $15 plus an 8% tax. Mel buys a football for $20 plus an 8$ tax. How much did each person pay?
-Dominant- [34]
Dave pays $15 and tax is $1.2 so dave spent a total of $16.20.

Mel pays $20 and tax is $1.6 so Mel spent a total of $21.60.

All you need to do is convert the percent to a decimal, so take 8 and divide by 100 and you get 0.08. then you need to  multiply the cost by the tax so 15*0.08=1.2 then you just add tax to original amount 15+1.2=16.2

Sue had 5 identical bags of candy to share with the crew. Twenty-five pieces of candy disappeared. Ted had 4 bags with the same
inna [77]

Answer:

Each bag originally had 35 pieces of candy

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the bags are identical, Let them Number of candies in each bag sue had be x. Thus, she had 5x candies. Since she lost 25 pieces, then she now has;

5x - 25 candies left.

We are told that Ted had 4 bags with the same number of candies like Sue had. Thus, he has 4x candies.

He mysteriously found 10 additional pieces. Total Ted now has is;. 4x + 10

Finally, we are told that Sue and Ted now have an equal number of candies.

Thus;

5x - 25 = 4x + 10

Rearranging, we have;

5x - 4x = 25 + 10

x = 35

Thus, each bag originally had 35 pieces of candy
