The sweater has a discount with is 40% of the regular price.
She saved 20 dollars on  the sweater that she bought.
Let's solve for the original price of the sweater then,
=> 20 dollars = 40%.
Let's look for the 60%.
=> 20 / 4 = 5 dollars is the 10% of the sweater's original price.
=> 5 dollars * 10 = 50 dollars
=> Thus the original price of the sweater is 50 dollars.

If you divide 20 by 40% (20/.4) you get 50. The original price was $50 :)

Bridget is 5 years older than Angad. Paul is 4 years younger than Angad. If the total of their
Ainat [17]

Answer: Bridge is 21 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so after reading the question I already know that B (Bridget), A (Angad) and P (Paul) is 49 in the sum of age. I also know that B=A+5 and P=A-4. After that I can assume B=P+5+4. So now after we gather everything, the age of all of them is the same if we delete 5, 4, 4 (From B=P+5+4 and P=A-4). 49-5-4-4=36. So now lets assume they are all 12 (36/3=12). B is 5 years older so lets add 5 to B. B=17, A=12 and P=8. 8+12+17= 37. We now know that but 37 is 12 under 49, so lets add the average 12/3=4 so we add 4 to all of them. B=21 A=16 P=12. 21+16+12=49. So Bridge is 21 years old, Angad is 16 years old and Paul is 12 years old

5. One canned juice drink is 15% orange juice; another is 10% orange juice. How many liters of each should be mixed together in
hram777 [196]
X: liters of 15% orange juice
y: liters of 10% orange juice

x+y=5L

y=5L - x

x liters of 15% orange juice plus y liters of 10% orange juice makes 5 liters of 12% orange juice in equation form:

0.15x+0.10y = 0.12(5L)

0.15x+0.10(5L-x)=0.12(5L)

0.15x+0.5-0.10x=0.6

0.05x=0.1L

x=2L

so y = 3L

so you need 2 liters of 15% orange juice and 3 liters of 10% orange juice

padilas [110]

Answer:

16% is 4/25 15% is 3/20 14% is 7/50 13% is 13/100 12% is 3/25 11% is 11/100 10% is 1/10 9% is 9/100 8% is 2/25 7% is 7/100 6% is 3/50 5% is 1/20 4% is 1/25 3% is 3/100 2% is 1/50 and 1% is 1/100

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find a percent you have to put that number over 100 so say I was looking for 20% you would put 20/100 then you would reduce by dividing if they can and both can be divided by two so it would then be 10/50 then those can be divided by 10 so it would be 1/5
