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

Leno4ka [110]

a.      This is the geometric sequence: a1 = 1.5 m = 150 cm, r = 0.74

The formula now is an = a1 x r ^ n-1

 

Just substitute a1 = 150 cm and r = 0.74

an = 150 x (0.74) ^ n – 1

 

b.      The second part is:

A6 = 150 x 0.74 ^ 6-1

= 150 x 0.74 ^5

= 150 x 0.221906624

= 33.28509936 cm

Anna and Maya are competing in a dance tournament where dance moves are worth a certain number of points if a dance move it's do
Gre4nikov [31]

Anna's current number of points = 225 points.

She danced correctly and earned = 75 points.

And when she danced incorrectly she loses = 30 points.

Note: For dancing correctly earned points will be added and for dancing incorrectly loses points will be subtracted from the total points has in starting.

So, we can setup an expression as

Current points + earned points - loses points

Plugging values, we get

225 +75 -30   Required expression.

Adding 225 and 75, we get 300.

Therefore, 225 +75 -30 = 300-30.

Subtracting 30 from 300, we get

300-30=270.

Therefore, Anna's final score is 270 points.

What is the value of n in the equation 1 (n – 4) – 3 = 3 - (2n+3)?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

n=7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1 (n – 4) – 3 = 3 - (2n+3)

1. distribute the 1 on the left side and distribute the -1 on the right side

1n-4-3=3-2n-3

2. add like terms

1n-7=-2n

3. move n to one side and by itself

-7=-3n

4. divide -3 to get n alone. Both negatives cancel out each other

7/3=n
