The original should be 80.19. All you do is make the 35% to a decimal (move the percent sign twice to the left to make it .35) and then you add it to the 59.40. ( .35*59.40) That should be 20.79. You then add and then that is it. (20.79+59.40)

So percent means parts ouf of 100
x%=x/100

so marked up form original to new price
100%=original
marku=35%
new price=100+35=135%
new price=59.40
so therefor

59.40=135/100 of original price
'of' means mutiply
replace 'origional price' with x
59.40=135/100 times x
simplify 135/100 to 27/20
59.40=27/20 times x
mutiply both sides by 20/27 to clear fraction
1188/27=x
44=x

original price=$44

6 - 2/3 (x+5) = 4x solve algebraically for the exact value of x

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - Rewrite

6 - 2/3 (x+5) = 4x

2 - Distribute

6 - 2/3x + 10/3 = 4x

3 - Combine like terms and get x alone

6 10/3 - 2/3x = 4x

+2/3x +2/3x

6 10/3 = 4 2/3x

------------------------------- Convert to decimals

6.3333333333.... = 4.333...x

-------------------------------- Divide both sides by 4.33...x

2 = x

Hope this helps :)

A tire company finds that the lifespan for one brand of its tires is normally distributed with a mean of 47,500 miles and a stan

Illusion [34]

Answer:

42580 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = $\mu = 47500$

$\sigma = 3000$

The manufacturer does not want to replace more than 5% of the tires

$P(X\leq x)=5\%$

$P(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\leq \frac{x-47500}{3000})=0.05$

By using normal table values :

$\frac{x-47500}{3000}=-1.64$

$x=(-1.64 \times 3000)+47500$

$x=42580$

Hence the approximate number of miles for the warranty is 42580 miles

If the ratio of y to x is equal to 3 and the sum of y and x is 80, what is value of y

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

y = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Step 1: Make sense of the given</h3>

"The ratio of y to x is 3"

This means that, $y\div x=3$

"The sum of y and x is 80"

This means, $x+y=80$

<h3>Step 2: Make use of the facts</h3>

If $y\div x=3$ , then $y = (3*x)$ .

We can plug this into the other equation by substitution:

$x + (3 * x)=80$

This simplifies to:

$4x = 80$

Which we can solve out and get:
$x=20$ .

<h3>Step 3: Plug and Chug</h3>

We solved for x, but we need the value of y.

So, we go back to the equation we first derived: " $y = (3*x)$ ".

And now we substitute the value of x, into this.

$y = (3 * (20))$

By solving this out, we get:
$y=60$

So, the value of y is 60.
