Reggie bought a pair of hiking boots that were discounted by 30% off the original price. If the original price was $66.00, what

was the discounted price of the hiking boots?

Answer:

$46.20

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a proportion to find the sale on the original price. A proportion is an equation where two ratios are set equal to each other. We create two fractions using the prices and percents. If the price is discounted by 30% then we pay 70% of the price.

\frac{70}{100} =\frac{x}{66}

We begin solving by cross multiplying numerator to denominator of each fraction.

70(66)=100(x)\\4620=100x\\\frac{4620}{100}=\frac{100x}{100}  \\46.20=x

Rolling a 3 or rolling an odd number on a six sided die. Is it mutually exclusive or non-mutually exclusive? Give one reason.
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Non-mutually exclusive

Step-by-step explanation:

both events can happen simultaneously... 3 is an odd number, events A and B  have a common outcome.

It would be mutually exclusive if event A was rolling a 4 and event B was rolling an odd number.

1.Bobby walked 5 miles and then 1/2 the distance. What is his total distance?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

7.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Half of 5 equals 2.5. Bobby already walked 5 miles so you add the 2.5 since he walked another half of that distance. 5 + 2.5 = 7.5

Can anyone please help me in this
Alik [6]

These problems are called systems of equations. Basically you have two linear equations and you need to find the values for x and y. In other words, all these equation are lines and our answer will be the exact point that the pair of lines intersect. For example, if we get x=1 and y=2 the lines will intersect at point (1,2). Now that you have some background knowledge here comes the tricks and tactics kid.

We know that we can solve one variable equation easily. For example...

x+1=2

x=1 obviously

Cause we have two variables x and y it is not possible to find a solution. For example, in the equation x+y=10, x=1 when y=9 and x=2 when y=8. There is not correct answer.

So what can we do? We have to make a two variable equation into a one variable equation.

There are two ways to do this: substitution and elimination. I will create a sample problem and then solve it using both methods.

x+y=2

2y-y=1

3)  

-3x-5y=-7 -----> -12x-20y=-28

-4x-3y=-2 ------> -12x-9y=-6

 -12x-20y=-28

-(-12x-9y=-6)

---------------------

-11y=-22

y=2

-3x-5(2)=-7

-3x=3

x=-1

4) 8x+4y=12 ---> 24x+12y=36

7x+3y=10 ---> 28x+12y=40

 28x+12y=40

-(24x+12y=36)

---------------------

4x=4

x=1

8(1)+4y=12

4y=4

y=1

5) 4x+3y=-7

-2x-5y=7 ----> -4x-10y=14

    4x+3y=-7

+(-4x-10y=14)

-------------------

-7y=7

y=-1

4x+3(-1)=-7

4x=-4

x=-1

6) 8x-3y=-9 ---> 32x-12y=-36

5x+4y=12 ---> 15x+12y=36

 32x-12y=-36

+(15x+12y=36)

--------------------

47x=0

x=0

8(0)-3y=-9

-3y=-9

y=3

7)-3x+5y=-2

2x-2y=1 ---> x-y=1/2 ----> x=y+1/2

-3(y+1/2)+5y=-2

-3y-1.5+5y=-2

2y=-0.5

y=0.25

2x-2(0.25)=1

2x=1.5

x=0.75
