Original amount =  new amount/(percentage decrease or percentage increase)


100 - 15 = 85/100 = 75.65 / 0.85 = $89

Hope I'm right and this helps! :)

Is the following number negative, positive or neither?<br> -6 1/2
Annette [7]

Answer:

negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

what is half of -6?

=-3, negative.

You owe your friend 6 dollars, and you have 0 dollars.

Your friend told you: you only have to pay half the money

so, instead of owing 6 dollars, you owe 3 dollars, which will still be equal to -3 dollars from your wallet :)

A certain company manufactures skateboards and rollerskates. It takes them 2 units of labor and 1 unit of materials to produce a
Alisiya [41]

Answer: The company should produce 7 skateboards and 16 rollerskates in order to maximize profit.

Step-by-step explanation: Let the skateboards be represented by s and the rollerskates be represented by r. The available amount of labour is 30 units, and to produce a skateboard requires 2 units of labor while to produce a rollerskate requires 1 unit. This can be expressed as follows;

2s + r = 30 ------(1)

Also there are 40 units of materials available, and to produce a skateboard requires 1 unit while a rollerskate requires 2 units. This too can be expressed as follows;

s + 2r = 40 ------(2)

With the pair of simultaneous equations we can now solve for both variables by using the substitution method as follows;

In equation (1), let r = 30 - 2s

Substitute for r into equation (2)

s + 2(30 - 2s) = 40

s + 60 - 4s = 40

Collect like terms,

s - 4s = 40 - 60

-3s = -20

Divide both sides of the equation by -3

s = 6.67

(Rounded up to the nearest whole number, s = 7)

Substitute for the value of s into equation (1)

2s + r = 30

2(7) + r = 30

14 + r = 30

Subtract 14 from both sides of the equation

r = 16

Therefore in order to maximize profit, the company should produce 7 skateboards and 16 rollerskates.

The graph represents the normal distribution of recorded weights, in pounds, of cats at a veterinary clinic.
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The weights within this range are:

8.9

9.5

9.8

10.4


Step-by-step explanation:

The graph represents the normal distribution with a mean of 9.5 and a standard deviation of 0.5. Therefore, the range of the values within 2 standard deviations is:

9.5 - 2(0.5) ≤ x ≤ 9.5 + 2(0.5)

8.5 ≤ x ≤ 10.5
