8%=0.08 and 100%=1 (100% represents the original weight in percentaje)
If x is the weight you can express: 1x-0.08x=15.1
solve for x:  0.92x=15.1
x= 15.1/0.92=16.1
The original weight was 16.41 ounces

Answer:

Old weight is equall to 16.413 ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

New weight = 15.1 ounce

Old weight = x ounce

(Old weight) -8% of old weight= new weight

X - 0.08x= 15.1

X(1-0.08)= 15.1

X*0.92= 15.1

X= 15.1/0.92

X = 16.413

Old weight is equall to 16.413 ounce

kipiarov [429]
1,94x-\frac{10}{8}x+4,32=[2(1,15x+8,5)]\\\\
1,94x-1,25x+4,32=2,3x+17\\\\
0,69x+4,32=2,3x+17\ \ \ |Subtract\ 2,3x\\\\
-1,61x+4,32=17\ \ \ |Subtract\ 4,32\\\\
-1,61x=12,68\ \ \ |Divide\ by\ -1,61\\\\\boxed{x\approx7,9}

Gala2k [10]
<span>Saul works at the local car dealership.
=> He makes 2% commission on all sales.
=> He sells a car worth $20,000.
Question: What is his commission
=> We need to get the 2% value of 20 000 dollars for his commission. To do that simply convert 2% into decimal value then multiply it with 20 000 dollars.
=> 2% / 100% = 0.02
=> 20 000 * .02 = 400 dollars is his commission.</span>

What is the perimeter of the triangle shown on the coordinate plane, to the nearest tenth of a unit?
seraphim [82]

21.6 units

Calculate the length of the 2 inclined sides using the distance formula

d = √(x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 4 )

d = √(3 + 3 )² + (4 - 3)² = √(36 + 1 ) = √37

repeat for (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 3 )

d = √(3 + 3 )² + (- 3 - 3 )² = √(36 + 36 ) = √72

the vertical side has a length of 7 units

perimeter = √37 + √72 + 7 = 21.6 ( nearest tenth of a unit )
