Answer:
i)
0.79m
ii)
1.21m
iii)
7/5m
iv)
3/5m
Step-by-step explanation:
i)
The price of a USB memory stick selling at a 21% discount off its marked price (m)
The marked price m represents 100% of the value of the USB memory stick. Offering a 21% discount off the marked price will mean that the USB will be selling at;
(100 - 21)% of the marked price m
=79% of m
= (79/100)*m
= 0.79m
ii)
The price of a CD that sells for 21% more than the amount (m) needed to manufacture the CD.
The amount (m) needed to manufacture the CD would represent 100% of the value of the CD. Selling the CD for 21% more than the amount (m) needed to manufacture the CD will imply that the selling price is;
(100+21)% of m
= 121% of m
= (121/100)*m
= 1.21m
iii)
The final value of a painting after its initial value, m, increases by 2/5.
The initial value of the painting is given as m. The value of the painting is said to increase by 2/5 which means that the increase in its value would be;
2/5 of m
=2/5 * m
=2/5m
The final value of the painting will thus be;
initial value + increase in value
=m + 2/5m
= m(1+2/5)
=7/5m
iv)
The total number of markers that Nancy has if she gives away 2/5 of her m markers to Amy.
Initially, Nancy had a total of m markers. By giving away 2/5 of her markers to Amy, her markers reduced by;
2/5 of m
=2/5*m
=2/5m
The new number of her markers will be given by;
initial numbers - total given to Amy
= m - (2/5m)
= m(1 - 2/5)
=m(3/5)
=3/5m
<span>Annie traveled 17 hours and Brian traveled 3 hours. 17+3=20. 3*5=15+2=17.</span>
Answer:
The system has no solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's write it in a more traditional form

Try staring at it for a bit, and then realize what you are being asked: find two numbers whose difference is - at the same time, 7, and -7/6. That's impossible.
Same result you get by elimination. Multiply the first by 6 and either add or subtract - your choice the second. In either case you will get 0 = 35 or 0=49, which are obviously absurd
Add 2z to both sides. you get
6k-2z+2z=12+2z
6k=2z+12
divide both sides by 6
6k/6=2z+12 divide by 6
your answer is k=1/3z+2

Answer:
a₆ = 972
Step-by-step explanation:
Is it correct?
a₄ = 3a₃ = 3 × 36 = 108
a₅ = 3a₄ = 3 × 108 = 324
<u><em>a₆ = 3a₅ = 3 × 324 = 972</em></u>
