Answer:

119/100 = 357/X

Step-by-step explanation:

since 357 is the price with the extra 19% tax, you can put 119 and 357 as numerators in a fraction because thats the price % of total cost with the tax, then have the denominators as the normal price without tax. so 119/100 bc 119 is the total cost % with tax, and 100 as the normal cost %. same for the opposite side, 357/X. 357 being the price with the tax and X being the price without the tax. so you just cross multiply to find X. so 100 × 357 (35,700) then divide the answer of that by 119 (35,700/119) to find X (300)

-16t^2+20t+65 Quadratic Formula

Shalnov [3]

The value of T is

$\frac{-5+\sqrt{285} }{8}$ OR $\frac{-5-\sqrt{285} }{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assumption: find the values of t

1. Equation is $-16t^{2}$ +20t+65

2. Identify values of a, b and c

a = -16
b = 20
c = 65

3. Write the quadratic formula

t = $\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

4. Substitute the values of a, b and c in the formula

t = $\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

t = $\frac{-20±\sqrt{20^{2}-4(-16)(65) } }{2(-16}$

5. Solve to find the possible values of t

t = $\frac{-20±\sqrt{20^{2}-4(-16)(65) } }{2(-16}$

$\frac{-5+\sqrt{285} }{8}$ OR

$\frac{-5-\sqrt{285} }{8}$

Regina can type an average of 40 words per minute. If one page has 500 words, how long will it take her to type 20 pages?

Bumek [7]

1 min = 40 words

1 page = 500

It would take Regina 250 minutes to type 20 pages because we would first divide 500 words by 40 words (40 words equaling 1 minute) to first find out how long it took her to type 1 page. After finding it was 12.5 mins we then multiple, 12.5 x 20 which gives us 250 minutes. Which is also 4 hours and 10 minutes I believe.
