If the original pair of a pair of shoes is $80 but a sign above the shoes reads “ Sale - 20% discount”, then what price would a
solong [7]

Answer:

A. 64

Step-by-step explanation:

The shoes are 80 dollars.  We get a 20% discount

Discount = 80*20%

                = 80*.20

                  =16

The sales price = original price less the discount

                          = 80 -16

                           = 64

The average heights of x number of girls and 15 boys is 123. if the average heights of boys is 125 and that of girls is 120.find
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

x = 10. In other words, there number of girls is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average of a number of measurements is equal to the sum of these measurements over the number of measurements.

\displaystyle \text{Average} = \frac{\text{Sum of measurements}}{\text{Number of measurements}}.

Rewrite to obtain:

\begin{aligned}& \text{Sum of measurements}= (\text{Number of measurements}) \times (\text{Average}) \end{aligned}.

For this question:

\begin{aligned}& \text{Sum of heights of boys} \\ &= (\text{Number of boys}) \times (\text{Average height of boys}) \\ &= 15 \times 125 = 1875\end{aligned}.

\begin{aligned}& \text{Sum of heights of girls} \\ &= (\text{Number of girls}) \times (\text{Average height of girls}) \\ &= x \times 120 = 120\, x\end{aligned}.

Therefore:

\begin{aligned}& \text{Sum of boys and girls} \\ &= \text{Sum of heights of boys} + \text{Sum of heights of girls}\\ &= 1875 + 120\, x\end{aligned}.

On the other hand, there are (15 + x) boys and girls in total. Using the formula for average:

\begin{aligned}& \text{Average height of boys and girls} \\ &= \frac{\text{Sum of heights of boys and girls}}{\text{Number of boys and girls}} \\ &= \frac{1875 + 120\, x}{15 + x}\end{aligned}.

From the question, this average should be equal to 123. In other words:

\displaystyle \frac{1875 + 120\, x}{15 + x} = 123.

Solve this equation for x to obtain:

1875 + 120\, x= 123\, (15 + x).

(123 - 120)\, x = 1875 - 123 \times 15.

x = 10.

In other words, the number of girls here is 10.
