The answer is 132. 132 is the original price. 80$ x 65% = 52. 80 + 52 = 132. So 132 is answer and original price.

If the item was 65% off, then you can see that 80$ is 35% of the original price (subtracting 65% from 100% will give you 35%). you should now have 80/x = 35/100. multiplying both sides by 100 (to isolate the 35 and make it easier), and then dividing both sides by 35 (to cancel things out), you will get about 228 (228.57 or so)

A boat takes 4 hours to go 20 miles upstream. It can go 32 miles downstream in the same time. Find the rate of the current and t

KonstantinChe [14]

Let the boat speed in still water be b.
Let the current speed be c.
The speed going upstream is 20/4 = 5 mph.
The speed going downstream is 32/4 = 8 mph.
b - c = 5 ........(1)
b + c = 8 .......(2)
Adding equations (1) and (2) we get:
2b = 13
b = 13/2 = 6.5
Plugging in the value for b into equation (1) we find c = 1.5.
The boat speed in still water is 6.5 mph and the current speed is 1.5 mph.

Answer:

(A) 180

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to treat those player selections as independent events, since one doesn't influence the other (the fact you chose Joe as a guard, shouldn't have an influence on who'll pick as center, unless there's bad blood between some players... but that's a whole other story).

So, how many ways to pick 2 guards from a selection of 4? The order doesn't seem to matter here, since they don't specify for example that Joe can only play on the left side). So, it's a pure combination calculation:

$C(4,2) = \frac{4!}{2! * (4 - 2)!} = \frac{24}{2 * 2} = 6$

C(4,2) = 6.

How many ways to pick the 2 forwards from a group of 5? Using the same calculation, we get:

C(5,2) = 10.

And of course, the coach has 3 ways to pick a center player from 3.

Then we multiply the possible ways to pick guards, forwards and center...

6 * 10 * 3 = 180 ways.
