Answer:

£ 631

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi this is a simple mathematics issue.

First, let's imagine what is 3%. '3 percents' means 3/100. If your family have 100 apples and you have 3 apples, that means you have 3% of your family apples.

Now, get back to this problem. We need to find the price before increase. Let's say the price was £ X. Now we will find the X number.

It's said that the price was increased by 3%. That means they took 3% of X and added that amount to X to have the new price : £ 650. That means we have this equation :

650 = X + 3%×X

Let's make it easier to look :

650 = X + 3/100 ×X

650 = X×( 1+ 3/100)

= X × 103/100

So we can see 650 is equaled to X multipled by 103/100.

To find the correct answer, simply divide 650 by 103/100.

*A hint: When you divide a number by a fraction, you can simply put the number multiplied by the "flipped" fraction .

Hope you learn with Joy and High Grades !!!

Answer four of these question and you will be the brainliest. Answer this with solution please
lawyer [7]

(1) -1.79, 2 1/4, 2.54 , -4

negative -> positive

reorder: -4. -1.79, 2 1/4 (or 2.25), 2.54

(2) -x

The larger x is the smaller the value

-$40.75<-$25.20

BUT the larger after the minus the more you owe so Renae owes more.

(3)

sorry idk

(4)

78F-x=70F

You need to solve a system of equations. You decide to use the elimination method. Which of these is not allowed? 2x - 3y = 12
suter [353]

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Elimination Method is the method for solving a pair of linear equations which reduces one equation to one that has only a single variable.

If the coefficients of one variable are opposites, you add the equations to eliminate a variable, and then solve.

If the coefficients are not opposites, then we multiply one or both equations by a number to create opposite coefficients, and then add the equations to eliminate a variable and solve.

When multiplying the equation by a coefficient, we multiply both sides of the equation (multiplying both sides of the equation by some nonzero number does not change the solution).

So, option B is not allowed (it is not allowed to multiply only one part of the equation)

A city currently has 153 streetlights. As part of a urban renewal program, the city council has decided to
kiruha [24]

Answer:

The explicit function is: P_x = 153+3x

And the number of lights after 33 weeks will be 252.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total street lights = 153

Let x be the number of weeks

Then the number lights after x weeks will be 3x

This is a linear function where the y-intercept is 153 and slope is 3.

It can be written as: y = mx+b

The function is:

P_x = 153+3x

Putting the values for x will give us the number of total lights after that number of weeks.

To find, how many street lights were there at the end of 33rd week,

Putting x = 33

P_{33} = 153+ 3(33)\\= 153+99 = 252

Hence.

The explicit function is: P_x = 153+3x

And the number of lights after 33 weeks will be 252.
