Answer: biggest no.=27. Smallest number=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take the smallest number as x and the biggest number as 3x since it is 3 times bigger than x.

The sum of these two numbers is 36

3x+x=36

4x=36

X( smallest number)=36/4: 9

While, the biggest number is 3x: 3×9=27

In order to clear out room for new merchandise, James decided to mark down some of the items for sale in his electronics store.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Lets day the original price of the dvd player was $100,
36% marked down means you pay $64x
64x = $41.60
100x = 100/54 x 41.60 = 4160/64 = #65.00 = original cost
similarly, stereo tuners = 100/78 x 69.42 = 6942/78 = $89 original cost
DVD = 65- 41.60 = $ 23. 40 less
Stereo = 89- 69.42 = $ 19.58 less
Diffrence is $ 3.82
so your answer is the dvd player price was reduced by $3.82 more than the stereo tuner.

What letter is s in 8s=1/2

Tcecarenko [31]

We find the value for s here.

8s = 1/2
$8s = \frac{1}{2} 
 \\ 
8s/8 = \frac{1}{2} / \frac{8}{1} 

$

1/2 divided by 8/1 = 1/2 * 1/8 = 1/16

s = 1/16
