Answer:

  $356.00

Step-by-step explanation:

If d represents the discounted price, and p is the original price, you have ...

  d = p - 20% × p = p(1 -20%) = 0.80p

Then the original price is ...

  p = d/0.80 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of p

  p = $284.80/0.80 = $356.00

The price before the discount was $356.00.

Y varies directly with x. If x = 16 and y = 2 find y when x = 96
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation y = kx

Plug in x and y to find k:

2 = k(16)

1/8 = k

Then, plug in 1/8 as k and 96 as x to find y:

y = 1/8(96)

y = 12

A chef uses 4 3/4 cups of broth for 10 servings of soup. How much broth used in each serving of soup? Let x represent the number
kozerog [31]
Answer: 0.475 cups of broth per serving.

Explanation:


1) Ratio given:

 i) To facilitate the operations, transform the mixed number 4 3/4 cups into improper fraction:

4 + 3/4 = [16 + 3] / 4 = 19 / 4

ii) ratio broth: servings

\frac{ \frac{19}{4}cups }{10servings}

2) Proportion with the unknown number of cups of broth per serving:

\frac{ \frac{19}{4}cups }{10servings}= \frac{x}{1serving}

3) Solve for the unknown:

x = [19 / 4] cups × 1 serving / 10 servings = 19 / 40 cups = 0.475 cups

Can someone help me solve y 12 + y = 4x
Leviafan [203]

Answer: Y = 4x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, the reason for this is because y can be anything because there are 2 unknown terms in the equation. Thus, the answer to y can be many different answers. The one common thing that all of these answers have is that they have only 1 expression (An equation without equal sign) to solve it. This expression is the answer to y, but it can be changed judging by the answer of x. That is why you cannot determine an exact answer to y with there being many, so you have to write the expression to get y. Which you can find out by:

12 (Part) + y (Part) = 4x (Whole)

So to figure out one part do the whole minus the other part which is why 4x is our answer:

4x (Whole) - 12 (Other Part)

This is called part-whole postulate.

Hope this helps!

Should juveniles be punished less harshly than adults? Use "leniently" in your answer
vampirchik [111]
Juveniles should be punished less harshly than adults, but it depends on what they have done to earn their certain punishment. If they did something to a certain degree that deserves a harsh punishment then they shouldn’t be as leniently punished as a juvenile who didn’t do as much to deserve a harsh punishment.
