Answer:

2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

write out an equation that represents the problem. the original price X fell by 15% to a new price of 1700:

X - (X*15%) = 1700

X(1-0.15) =1700

X=1700/(1-0.15)

X=2,000

convert 15% to decimal form:

15%=0.15

Roberto and Maria Santanos spend approximately $11.50 per week to wash and dry their family's clothes at a local coin laundry. A
Elena L [17]

Answer:

68 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

1 week costs $11.50.

so, how many such weekly each cycles fit into the price of new machines ?

if they wait to long (to many weeks) they spend in total more money than buying a new machine.

but if they stay still below that max. number of weeks, they have at least the illusion that they are cheaper of with the weekly laundromat investment (but they forget, sooner or later they will need the new machines).

so the break even point is simply

782 / 11.5 = 68 weeks.

after 68 weeks it has cost them exactly the same amount of money, as if they had bought new machines right away at the beginning.

In isoceles triangle the length of a leg is 17cm, and the base is 16cm. Find the length of the altitude to the base
Elan Coil [88]

This triangle has base 16 therefore the sides must be 17cm and 17 cm

When we make a altitude it divides it into two right triangles and there is a property in which the altitude of the isoceles triangle divides the base in 2 equal halves

So the side of the right triangle will be x , 8 , 17

Using pythgoreus theorem

x²+8²=17²

x = √225

x = 15

So the altitude is 15 cm
