X=value of the house before increase

(100%+29%)X=516,000

(129%)X=516,000

1.29x=516,000 | divided by 1.29 both sides

X=400,000$ was the value when it was purchased

Answer:

The value of house $ 400,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of house when it was purchased,

∵ 29% of x = \frac{29x}{100} = 0.29x

According to the question,

x + 29% of x = 516000

x + 0.29x = 516000

1.29x = 516000

\implies x=\frac{516000}{1.29}=400000

Hence, the value of the house is $ 400,000 when it was purchased.

A teacher gave her class two exams; 60% of the class passed the second exam, but only 48% of the class passed both exams. What p
Dahasolnce [82]
This is an example of conditional probability because we are trying to find the probability of an event occurring GIVEN the occurrence of some other event. There is a formula for this (see image attached). 
If we follow this formula, the numerator would be the probability of (A AND B)  which in this case is "48% of the class passed BOTH exams." The denominator in the formula would be that "60% of the class passed ONLY THE SECOND exam." 
Therefore, P(A and B) = 0.48, which is 48% expressed as a decimal and P(B)= 0.60, which is 60% expressed as a decimal. Then, you can figure out the answer by dividing.

Find 94% of 90! Do not round your awnser. Show your work​
Katen [24]
The answer would be 84.6

You multiply 94 and 90 and then add a decimal point since you can’t go over 90.

That’s how I do it mentally.
