Answer:

Let the original price be x

70% of x = 14

70x/100 = 14

70x/14 = 100

5x = 100

x = 100/5

x = 20

Therefore the original price = $20

Hope this helps!

Answer:

20$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 14 is 70% of the original price, the full price being 100%

We set up an equation to find 100%

14 = 70%      //So we divide by 7 on both sides to get 10%

2 = 10%        //Then times by 10 to get 100%

<u><em>20 = 100%</em></u>

As a general rule we always try to find 1%, 10%, 25%, or 50% of the original price, as these numbers are quite easy to multiply to 100%

is a whole number with 4 digits always greater than or less than a whole number with 3 digits explain
Yuri [45]
Answer:
A whole number with 4 digits is always greater than a whole number with 3 digits.
This requires that both numbers be positive.

Explanation.
In the decimal system, we count 0,1,2, ..., 9 (1st digit).
When we reach 10, we shift left and count in tens from 10,20,30, ..., 90 (2nd digit).
When we reach 100, we shift left and count in hundreds from 100,200,300, ..., 900 (3rd digit).
Then we count in thousands as 1000,2000, ...  ( 4th digit).

Because the 4th digit counts in thousands and the 3rd digit counts in hundreds, a whole number in the 4th digit will be greater than a whole number in the 3rd digit.

Factorize: Challenge problem:<br> x^2+19x+78<br> help :)
Trava [24]

Answer:

(x + 6)(x + 13)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 19x + 78

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 78) whuch sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 19)

The factors are + 6 and + 13 , since

6 ×13 = + 78 and 6 + 13 = + 19 , then

x² + 19x + 78 = (x + 6)(x + 13) ← in factored form

wlad13 [49]

Answer: The quantity of the water received by each student = 3.75 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total water = 18.75 liters

Total students =5

If each student in the group used the same amount of water for their experiment, then the quantity of the water received by each student = \dfrac{\text{Total quantity}}{\text{Total students}}

=\dfrac{18.75}{5}\\\\=3.75\ liters

The quantity of the water received by each student = 3.75 liters.
