Answer: $650

Step-by-step explanation:

If he sold the bike 10% less than the original amount which means he sold it as a 10% discount so the person has to pay 90% of the price. And 90% of the price has to equal $585 so we could set up an equation and solve for the price.

90% * x = 585

0.9 * x = 585

0.9x = 585

x = 650

Which means he paid $650 for the bike.

gregori [183]

Answer:

Plan A last 0.75 hours or 45 minutes.

Plan B last 1.5 hours or 90 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $a$ be the number of hours that the plan A last, an $b$ the number of hours of plan B. Then for the Wednesday you have:

$2a+3b=6$

And for the Thursday is:

$6a+5b=12$

Multiply the equation of Wednesday by -3:

$-6a-9b=-18$

Using the method of addition using this last equation and the equation of Thursday

$-6a-9b=-18\\6a+5b=12\\--------\\-4b=-6\\b=\frac{-6}{-4}\\b=1.5 hours$

Replacing the value of $b$ in one of the equations

$6a+5b=12\\6a+5(1.5)=12\\6a+7.5=12\\6a=12-7.5\\a=\frac{4.5}{6} \\a=0.75hours$

Irrational numbers cannot be written as a ratio…irrational means not rational. All fractions of integers are Rational.

TiliK225 [7]

with the exception of perfect squares, all square root of whole numbers are irrational, e.g. √5

how about this one:

2.34334333433334.... I am increasing the number of 3s each time, thus

creating a decimal which never ends and never repeats.

12.3456789101112131415.... can you see what I am doing?

will it ever end? will it ever repeat?
