Two stores sell the same computer for the same original price. Store A advertises that the computer is on sale for 25% off the o

riginal price. Store B advertises that it is reducing the computer’s price by $180. When Brittany compares the sale prices of the computer in both stores, she concludes that the sale prices are equal. What is the computer’s original price? Write and solve an equation.

Let the price of the computer = X

Store A is selling it for 25% off, so they are selling it for 75% of the original price, so you have 0.75X

Store B is selling it for 180 less the original price, so you have X - 180

Now set both equations to equal and solve for x:

0.75x = X-180

Subtract 1X from each side:

-0.25x = -180

Divide both sides by -0.25:

x = -180 / -0.25

X = 720

The original price is $720

check:

720 x 0.25 = 180

What is the graph for {3x+5y<10 {x-y<=1
Nostrana [21]
Sounds to me as tho you are to graph 3x+5y<10, and that after doing so you are to restrict the shaded answer area created by the "constraint" inequality x≤y+1.    OR x-1 ≤ y   OR  y≥x-1.  If this is the correct assumption, then please finish the last part of y our problem statement by typing   {x-y<=1}.

First graph 3x+5y = 10, using a dashed line instead of a solid line.

x-intercept will be 10/3 and y-intercept will be 2.  Now, because of the < symbol, shade the coordinate plane BELOW this dashed line.

Next, graph y=x-1.  y-intercept is -1 and x intercept is 1.  Shade the graph area ABOVE this solid line.

The 2 lines intersect at (1.875, 0.875).  To the LEFT of this point is a wedge-shaped area bounded by the 2 lines mentioned.  That wedge-shaped area is the solution set for this problem.

How do I find the radius from the circumference of a circle
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Just remember to divide the diameter by two to get the radius. If you were asked to find the radius instead of the diameter, you would simply divide 7 feet by 2 because the radius is one-half the measure of the diameter. The radius of the circle is 3.5 feet.

What is 67% of 296 ? Show your work
seraphim [82]
First, you would get the decimal form of 67% by moving the decimal (At the end of most whole numbers.) over two, giving you .67.
Next, multiply 296 by this new decimal- .67*296=198.32.
There you go! : )
