Answer:

168.00

Step-by-step explanation:

20% * 140.00 =  .20*140.00

.20* 140.00= $28.00

$28.00+$140.00=  $168.00

Answer:

$175

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for Price Reduction:

Original Price * Percent Remaining of Original = New Price

Plug in the given values into the equation:

Original Price * 0.8 = $140

Divide both sides by 0.8 to isolate the Original Price:

140/0.8 = 175

Tony took a math quiz last week. There were 80 problems on the quiz and Tony answered 70% of them correctly. How many problems d
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

56 problems

Step-by-step explanation:

So we already know that the answer is: 56. However, a good help is knowing how to obtain this answer from the data provided.

Tony's quiz had 80 questions

Tony correctly answered 70% of them.

We can always write a percentage amount as a ratio by dividing the amount by 100.

70\% = \frac{70}{100} = 0.7.

This means that for every 100 questions, tony will respond correctly 70.

So, if Toni did a questionnaire of n questions, the amount that will answer correctly is calculated by the following expression:

C = n*\frac{70}{100}

If n = 80 then:

C = 80 * \frac{70}{100}\\\\C = 56

A pharmacist has a 12% solution and a 20% solution of boric acid. How much of each should she use to make 80 grams of a 15% solu
nlexa [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

If x = the amount of 12% and y = the amount of 20%, then x + y = 80

Since we need 80 grams of 15%, 80(.15) = 12.

We are given that .12x + .20y = 12.

We can solve the first equation for x or y. Let's do x.

x = 80 - y

.12(80 - y) + .20y = 12

9.6 - .12y + .20y = 12

.08y = 2.4

y = 30

x = 80 - 30 = 50

which equation in point-slope form contains the point (-3, 5) and has slope -1 ANSWERS y + 3 = -1(x-5) y-3= -1(x+5) y+5=-1(-3) y
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

<h2>y - 5 = -1(x + 3)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of an equation of a line:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

m - slope

We have m = -1 and the point (-3, 5). Substitute:

y-5=-1(x-(-3))\\\\y-5=-(x+3)
