Hello! I can help you with this!
a. To find out how much Mary saved, we will have to subtract the sale price from the original price, and then add up the difference to find how much she saved. 62 - 48 is 14. 46 - 34 is 12. 14 + 12 = 26. Mary saved $26 by buying at the sale item price.
b. To find the amount of discount, we can write and solve a proportion, by setting it up like this: change/original = x/100. Change is the distance between two numbers and the original is the previous price. If you know about proportions, you cross multiply the values, and then divide each side by a number to isolate "x". If you solve each proportion correctly, here are your answers for each item:
Dress: ≈ 23% discount
Shoes: ≈ 26% discount
c. Okay. So when we add up the sales prices together, 48 + 34 is 82. In order to find the total amount with tax, we multiply the sale price, by (1 + r). In other words, add 1 to the rate in decimal form and multiply it by the total of the sales price. 82 * 106.5% (1.065) is 87.33. Mary paid a total of $87.33.
5+7*4=48
60÷2+18=48
Answer is D
For this problem, you can use the proportion 1696/x = 32/100 since 1696 is 32% (or 32/100) of an unknown number of students .
You can cross-multiply to get 32x = 169600
Then divide on both sides by 32 and get to 5300.
Answer: 5300 student applied last year.
Hope that helps!
Answer:
Number two: x > -9/2, x < 3/2
Number one: x is less than or equal to 3/4, x is greater than or equal to - 13/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Number one:
|4x+5| > 10-2
|4x+5| > 8
4x+5 > 8
-(4x+5) > 8
x > 3/4
x < -13/4
x > 3/4, x < -13/4
(all of these signs are greater than or equal to and less than or equal to)
Number two:
|2x+3| > -6
2x+3 > -6
-(2x+3) > -6
x > -9/2
x < 3/2
x> -9/2, x < 3/2
(all of these signs are correct and not greater than or equal to or less than or equal to)
Lets begin with an example.
You have 100 apples. 40 % of your apples are 40. Sounds complicated?
Here is the calculation in words, number of apples times 40 percentage.
By equation: 100 * 40/100= 40. Simple huh?
% symbol represents 100.
% 15 equals 15/100; 20% is equal to 20/100 or 1/5 in a simplified way.
Have a look to question. 40 iris at last year, 15 % MORE iris this year.
What is the 15 % of 40 iris? That's the question at the end.
Recall apple example at the beginning.
40 iris * 15/100 = 6.
So, there are 6 MORE iris blooms this year. This year Savanna has totally 46 iris.
