Answer:

Five touchdowns were made in the game

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of touchdowns made during the game.

We proceed as follows;

Let the number of touch downs be x

So the total points earned through touchdowns is 6 * x = 6x

The number of scores is 10 times

Let the number of extra kick be y which means that the number of conversions will be (y-1)

So the total number of score times will be ;

x + y + y-1 = 10

x + 2y = 11 •••••••••(i)

Now let’s work with points

Touch down points = 6 * x = 6x

Points from extra kick = 1 * y = y

Points from 2-point conversions = 2(y-1) = 2y - 2

So;

6x + y + 2y -2 = 37

6x + 3y = 37 + 2

6x + 3y = 39

divide through by 3

2x + y = 13 •••••••(ii)

So now solve simultaneously

From ii, y = 13 - 2x

Put this into i

x + 2(13-2x) = 11

x + 26 - 4x = 11

x -4x = 11-26

-3x = -15

x = -15/-3

x = 5

There are five touchdowns in the game

The $414 price charges a store for a small refrigerator consists of the refrigerator's original cost to the store plus a profit
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

<h2>$351.9</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

the question is not formatted well

<em>A store charges $414 for a small refrigerator, the price consists of the refrigerator's original cost to the store plus a profit 15% what was the refrigerator's original cost to the store?</em>

Step one:

given data

we are told that the price of the small refrigerator contains both the original price and 15% profit

mathematically

$414= original price + 15% profit

Step two:

let us solve for 15% of 414

=(15/100)*414

=0.15*414

=$62.1

This shows that the profit is $62.1

let the original price be x

$414= x + 62.1

solve for x

x=414-62.1

x=351.9

<u>The refrigerator's original cost to the store $351.9</u>

How do you do markdowns and markups
uysha [10]
So the book guy mark downed the price of the books by 46%, also known as 0.46.  All decimals are less than 1.  So then, what you do is you take b, which is the variable defining the price of the book, then you multiply it by 0.46.  So the answer of b would be b x 0.46.  For C, you must do 29 x 0.54, and that will give you the answer for C.  Finally, in D, take the answer you got in C, and subtract that by 29.  This will give you your answer.
