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%

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%

The graph shows a proportional relationship.What is the unit rate? Enter your answer as an improper fraction in simplest form in

ruslelena [56]

That is the slope
rise/run
we see we have (2/5,1/2)
rise is y, run is x
(x,y)
((1/2)/(2/5)=(1/2)(2/5)=2/10=1/5

unit rate is y=(1/5)x

Suppose 6 of 15 students in a grade-school class develop influenza where 20 percent of grade-school students nationwide develope

Snowcat [4.5K]

I am not sure what the question is here. I can tell you how to find the percent of kids that developed influenza in that class. We can compare it to the 20% of students nationwide. There could many different questions that stem from the piece of information you gave.

To find the percent of kids that developed influenza in that class do 6÷15 which gives you
.4 and written as a percent would be 40%.

Please message me if you have any questions! Hope this helps!

Establish for which constants c the following function is a density.

Valentin [98]

By "density" I assume you mean "probability density function". For this to be the case for $f(x)$ , we require

$\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x)\,\mathrm dx=1$

Since

$f(x)=\begin{cases}cx^{1/2}&\text{for }0$

you have

$\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x)\,\mathrm dx=\int_0^2cx^{1/2}\,\mathrm dx=\dfrac{2c}3x^{3/2}\bigg|_{x=0}^{x=2}=\dfrac{2^{5/2}c}3=1$

which means

$c=\dfrac3{2^{5/2}}=\dfrac3{4\sqrt2}$

please help me Which of the following choices will evaluate the function ƒ(x) = -(-x), when x = -3? 3 -1 -3 None of these choice

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(x) = -(-x)

we want to evaluate f(-3)

What we do simply here is substitute the value of -3 for x in the equation

That would be ;

f(-3) = -(-(-3)) = -(3) = -3
