Answer: 31.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Okie dokie, so if something is marked up by 20% it means, it is 120% the original number right?
So we can convert 120% into 1.2 to make solving this problem easier. :)
So if we want to find the original number, all we have to do is divide 37.5 by 1.2.
This gets us 31.25.
9x = -3 put together all your like terms
-3/9 = x or -1/3 isolate x
Answer:
YX = 22
Step-by-step explanation:
Similar triangles. So,
![\frac{VW}{XW}=\frac{VZ}{YX}\\\\\frac{45}{30}=\frac{3x-9}{x+8}\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7BVW%7D%7BXW%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7BVZ%7D%7BYX%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cfrac%7B45%7D%7B30%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B3x-9%7D%7Bx%2B8%7D%5C%5C)
Cross multiplication
45*(x+8) = 30 * (3x - 9)
45x + 360 = 90x - 270
360 = 90x - 270 - 45x
360 = 45x - 270
360 + 270 = 45x
45x = 630
x = 630/45
x = 14
YX = x +8 = 14 + 8 = 22
First, simplify the radicals
√125=√(5*5*5)=(√5*5)(√5)=5√5
so 3√125=3*5√5=15√5
and √16=4
so
15√(5)-4 is the simplified version
you will have 8 tables so
72 chair / 8 tables = 9 chair per table
