An $42 item was marked down by 50% what is the new cost of the item?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nataly_w [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

New Cost of item is \$ 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Original Cost of item = \$ 42

Item was marked down by 50\%

To Calculate Cost after 50\% marked  down we need to multiply original cost by 50 and then divide by hundred.

Cost after  marked down = \frac{42 \times 50}{100}= \$21

Now New cost of the item is calculated by Subtracting Cost after 50\% marked down by Original Cost of item.

New cost of the item =  \$ 42 - \$ 21 = \$21

Answer:

1. Their ages are:

Steve's age = 18

Anne's age = 8

2. Their ages are:

Max's age = 17

Bert's age = 11

3. Their ages are:

Sury's age = 19

Billy's age = 9

4. Their ages are:

The man's age = 30

His son's age = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We make the assumption that:

S = Steve's age

A = Anne's age

In four years, we are going to have:

S + 4 = (A + 4)2 - 2 = 2A + 8 - 2

S + 4 = 2A + 6 .................. (1)

Three years ago, we had:

S - 3 = (A - 3)3

S - 3 = 3A - 9

S = 3A - 9 + 3

S = 3A – 6 …………. (2)

Substitute S from (2) into (1) and solve for A, we have:

3A – 6 + 4 = 2A + 6

3A – 2A = 6 + 6 – 4

A = 8

Substitute A = 8 into (3), we have:

S = (3 * 8) – 6 = 24 – 6

S = 18

Therefore, we have:

Steve's age = 18

Anne's age = 8.

2. We make the assumption that:

M = Max's age

B = Bert's age

Five years ago, we had:

M - 5 = (B - 5)2

M - 5 = 2B - 10 .......................... (3)

A year from now, it will be:

(M + 1) + (B + 1) = 30

M + 1 + B + 1 = 30

M + B + 2 = 30

M = 30 – 2 – B

M = 28 – B …………………… (4)

Substitute M from (4) into (3) and solve for B, we have:

28 – B – 5 = 2B – 10

28 – 5 + 10 = 2B + B

33 = 3B

B = 33 / 3

B = 11

If we substitute B = 11 into equation (4), we will have:

M = 28 – 11

M = 17

Therefore, their ages are:

Max's age = 17

Bert's age = 11.

3. We make the assumption that:

S = Sury's age

B = Billy's age

Now, we have:

S = B + 10 ................................ (5)

Next year, it will be:

S + 1 = (B + 1)2

S + 1 = 2B + 2 .......................... (6)

Substituting S from equation (5) into equation (6) and solve for B, we will have:

B + 10 + 1 = 2B + 2

10 + 1 – 2 = 2B – B

B = 9

Substituting B = 9 into equation (5), we have:

S = 9 + 10

S = 19

Therefore, their ages are:

Sury's age = 19

Billy's age = 9.

4. We make the assumption that:

M = The man's age

S = His son's age

Therefore, now, we have:

M = 3S ................................... (7)

Five years ago, we had:

M - 5 = (S - 5)5

M - 5 = 5S - 25 ................ (8)

Substituting M = 3S from (7) into (8) and solve for S, we have:

3S - 5 = 5S – 25

3S – 5S = - 25 + 5

-2S = - 20

S = -20 / -2

S = 10

Substituting S = 10 into equation (7), we have:

M = 3 * 10 = 30

Therefore, their ages are:

The man's age = 30

His son's age = 10

Find how many six-digit numbers can be formed from the digits 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 (with repetitions), if:
Goshia [24]

Answer:

case 1 = 2592

case 2 =  729

case 1 + case 2 =  2916

(this is not a direct adition, because case 1 and case 2 have some shared elements)

Step-by-step explanation:

Case 1)

6 digits numbers that can be divided by 25.

For the first four positions, we can use any of the 6 given numbers.

For the last two positions, we have that the only numbers that can be divided by 25 are numbers that end in 25, 50, 75 or 100.

The only two that we can create with the numbers given are 25 and 75.

So for the fifth position we have 2 options, 2 or 7,

and for the last position we have only one option, 5.

Then the total number of combinations is:

C = 6*6*6*6*2*1 = 2592

case 2)

The even numbers are 2,4 and 6

the odd numbers are 3, 5 and 7.

For the even positions we can only use odd numbers, we have 3 even positions and 3 odd numbers, so the combinations are:

3*3*3

For the odd positions we can only use even numbers, we have 3 even numbers, so the number of combinations is:

3*3*3

we can put those two togheter and get that the total number of combinations is:

C = 3*3*3*3*3*3 = 3^6 = 729

If we want to calculate the combinations togheter, we need to discard the cases where we use 2 in the fourth position and 5 in the sixt position (because those numbers are already counted in case 1) so we have 2 numbers for the fifth position and 2 numbers for the sixt position

Then the number of combinations is

C = 3*3*3*3*2*2 = 324

Case 1 + case 2 = 324 + 2592 = 2916

victor needs 300 feet of rope.The rope he wants to buy is sold by yards.He knows that there are 3 feet in 1 yard.How many yards
barxatty [35]

We need to convert 300 feet to yards.

We know,

3 feet = 1 yard

Hence,

300 feet * 1 yard/3 feet = 300/3 = 100 yards

He should buy 100 yards

Need help with this math question
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

23%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 male and 3 female freshmen. Thus the total number of freshmen is 7.

On the other hand, we have 14 male students and 16 female students. Thus the total number of students is 30.

If a student is selected at random, the probability that the student is a freshman is;

( 7/30) * 100 = 23.33%
