Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a 1 to 5 ratio. Since 48 is your result after the deduction, you need to set the unknown variable to x and proportion your answer. you have 4/5ths remaining. Divide 48 by 4 to get your 1 to 5 ratio equivalent. It will be 12. Add this to the price after deduction to get the original price.

1/5 is equal to 20% so you multiply 48 by .20 and you get 9.6 and your take 9.6 and add it to 48. your answer will be 57.6

Since x=8y, subsitute 8y for x in other equation

y=6x-11
y=6(8y)-11
y=48y-11
minus y both sides
0=47y-11
add 11 to both sides
11=47y
divide both sides by 47
$\frac{11}{47}=y$
subsitute taht for y to find x

x=8y
$x=8(\frac{11}{47})$
$x=\frac{88}{47}$

$x=\frac{88}{47}$
$y=\frac{11}{47}$
in (x,y) form
(x,y)
$(\frac{88}{47},\frac{11}{47})$

Number of the bags = between 8 and 15 and

1/2 of bags contain money
1/6 of bags contain candy
1/3 of bags contain a toy

As per above the number is divisible by 2, 3 and 6. LCM of the three numbers is 6.

<u> The number between 8 and 15 and divisible by 6:</u>

This number is 6*2 = 12

So the number of bags is 12

The vertices of a rectangle are R(-5, -5), S(-1, -5), T(-1, 1), and U(-5, 1). a translation, R to the point (-4,2). Find the tra

Nikitich [7]

Translation:
R ( - 5, - 5 ) → R` ( - 4, 2 )
- 4 = - 5 + 1, 2 = - 5 + 7;
The translation rule:
( x , y ) → ( x + 1, y + 7 )
Coordinates of the point U are (- 5, 1 )
- 5 + 1 = - 4, 1 + 7 = 8
The image of U is :
U` ( - 4, 8 )

Ian picked 5 times as many berries as Michelle.Joe picked 7 times as many berries Michelle.Together they picked 208 berries.How

Rasek [7]

Michelle: x
Ian: 5x
Joe: 7x
Michelle + Ian + Joe = 208 berries
x + 5x + 7x = 208
Combine like terms: 13x = 208
Divide both sides by 13: x = 16
Joe = 7x = 7*16=112
Joe picked 112 berries
