Answer: A.  $25.5

B.  $15.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The sale price of every item in a store is 85 percent of its usual price

A. The usual price of a backpack is $30.

Then , the sale price = 85% of (usual price of a backpack )

= 0.85  x ($30)

= $25.5

Hence, the sales price of backpack = $25.5

B. The usual price of a sweatshirt is $18.

Then , the sale price of sweatshirt = 85% of ( usual price of a sweatshirt)

=0.85 x ($18)

= $15.3

Hence, the sale price of sweatshirt =  $15.3

for A multiply 85 and 30. then subtract 30 by the product, this gives you the sale price. For B you do the same thing but you multiply 18 and 85. then 18 subtracted by the product which gives you the sale price.

FIRST PERSON TO ANSWER BRAINLIEST+POINTS, NEED TO EXPLAIN, ANSWER, AND GIVE AN EX.
Eddi Din [679]

Answer: 2nd diagram, explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is 8 magnet students for 3 magic students, the second diagram is correct.

The second part, you would need to set up a system of equations:

Let m = magnet students and t = magic students

t + 25 = m

(8/3)t = m. Since m = m, substitute: t + 25 = (8/3)(t). Now solve for t: t = 8t/3 - 25,

t = (8t - 75)/3, in this step I turned 25 into 75/3 and place it with 8t so it doesn't change the value of the equation.

3t = 8t - 75, in this step I multiplied every term by 3 to eliminate the demoninator. Now I solve the final steps:

-5t = -75, 5t = 75

t = 15

Hope this helps, please consider making me Brainliest.

How much string would you need to go around of a hat shaped like a cone if the radius is 4 inches? ( Use 3.14 for pi)
Paul [167]
The answer is b. 25.12
because we are finding the amount of rope to go around the circle, we are looking for the circumfrence of the circle, and the formula for the circumfrence of the circle is diameter(pi). because the radius of the circle is 4 inches, the diameter iss 8 inches because the diameter is 2(radius) and using multiplication, we can find the the circumfrence to be 25.12 inches

Suppose you are driving to visit a friend in another state. you are driving 55 miles per hour. you must drive 440 miles total. i
Oliga [24]
Time=(distance)/(speed)
speed=55 mi/hr
Total distance=440 miles
Distance covered=275 miles
remaining distance=440-275=165 miles
Time taken to cover the remaining distance will be:
time=165/55=3 hours

Total time taken to travel=440/55=8 hours
if we are to use the equation given by:
55h+275=440
time taken will be found by solving for h, thus we shall have:
55h=440-275
55h=165
h=165/55
h=3 hours

Answer: 3 hours

Why is - t - 3 written as 3 - t? Is it wrong if it is left as -t -3?
Eddi Din [679]

-t-3 and 3-t are not the same since t-3 would result in a negative answer since both -t and -3 are negative. While in t-3 t is positive and -3 is negative. it is wrong if its left as t-3 since -t-3=3-t is false.
