Answer:
9670 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The height given (8219.5 ft) is 85% OF ORIGINAL, hence original is much higher. But how do we figure this out?
we translate word problem to equation.
8219.5 IS 85% of TOTAL
Firstly, 85% = 85/100 = 0.85
Remember, is means =
of means multiplication
So we have:
8219.5 = 0.85 * Total
Hence, total = [let total be 7]
8219.5 = 0.85 * t
t = 8219.5/0.85 = 9670 feet

Let q and n represent the number of quarters and nickels respectively.
q=3n and .05n+.25q=1.6 These are the conditions in mathematical terms.
To solve, use the value of q from the first equation in the second equation to get:
.05n+.25(3n)=1.6 carry out indicated multiplication on left side
.05n+.75n=1.6 combine like terms on left side
.8n=1.6 divide both sides by .8
n=2, since q=3n
q=6
So Peggy had 2 nickels and 6 quarters.
5x + 3 = 38
5x = 38 + 3
5x = 35
x = 35/5
x = 7
The solution for this question is simple. First we need to divide both numbers by 2 which will give us 10 and 7. This is the equation x^2/10^2 + y^2/7^2 = 1sqrt(100-49) = 7.14 (the answer do not have a perfect square root)
