Answer: $787 was originally borrowed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

I represents interest paid on the loan.

P represents the principal or amount taken as loan

R represents interest rate

T represents the duration of the loan in years.

From the information given,

Total amount = $1181.05

Interest = total amount - principal

I = 1181.05 - P

R = 15%

T = 1 year

Therefore,

1181.05 - P

Therefore,

1181.05 - P = (P × 15 × 1)/100

1181.05 - P = 0.15P

P + 0.15P = 1181.0

1.5P = 1181.05

P = 1181.05/1.5

P = $787

Answer:

107°

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite angles of an inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary.

X = 180° -Q

X = 180° -73° = 107°

I made some brownies and cookies to sell for a local fundraiser. The cookies sold for $0.75 each and the brownies sold for $1.25

juin [17]

Answer:

Brownies made the most money

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = cookies

b = brownies

We sold 51 items so c+b = 51

Cookies are .75 and brownies are 1.25

.75c + 1.25 b = 53.25

We have 2 equations and 2 unknowns

c = 51-b

Substituting into the second equation

.75(51-b) + 1.25b = 53.25

Distribute

38.25-.75b +1.25b = 53.25

Combine like terms

38.25+.5b = 53.25

Subtract 38.25 from each side

38.25 +.5b -38.25 = 53.25 -38.25

.5b =15

Divide each side by .5

.5b/.5 = 15/.5

b = 30

Now find c

c =51-b

c = 51-30

c = 21

They sold 30 brownies and 21 cookies

30 brownies * 1.25 =37.50

21 cookies *.75 = 15.75

Brownies made the most money

Keegan leans an 18-foot ladder against the top of a wall. The bottom of the ladder is 4.5 feet from the base of the wall. What i

zaharov [31]

Answer: C. 17.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached photo shows the triangle ABC formed by the ladder and the wall. It is a right angle triangle because one of its angles is 90 degrees. The ladder is the hypotenuse of the triangle. To determine the height of the wall, we would find BC by applying Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent^2

18^2 + 4.5^2 + BC^2

BC^2 = 324 - 20.25 = 303.75

BC = √303.75 = 17.5 feet.
