Answer:

16.065

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find 10 percent of 17.85 by dividing 17.85 by 10

10 / 17.85 = 1.785

then you subtract 1.785 by 17.85 to get the original price

Let the letter o represent the original price.

17.85 = o + (o*1.10)
17.85 = 2.10 * o
o = 17.85/2.10=8.5
The original price was $8.50

Answer:

(3, 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(3) means substitute the value of x = 3 into f(x)

$\implies f(3) = (3 \times 3) + 1 = 10$

Therefore, when x = 3, y = 10

So the ordered pair is (3, 10)

A box holds 8 red and 4 blue beads. Three beads are taken from the box and not replaced. Determine: The probability that all thr

zubka84 [21]

Answer: $\dfrac{14}{55}, \dfrac{13}{55}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are 8 red and 4 blue beads

Three beads were taken from the box

(i)No of ways of choosing three red beads out of 12 beads is $^8C_3$

Total no of ways $^{12}C_3$

Probability is

$P=\dfrac{^8C_3}{^{12}C_3}=\dfrac{8\times 7\times 6}{12\times 11\times 10}=\dfrac{2\times 7}{11\times 5}\\P=\dfrac{14}{55}$

(ii)atleast two beads refers to minimum two beads

There can be two possibilities (2B,1 R), (3B, 0R)

$\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{^4C_2\times ^8C_1}{^{12}C_3}+\dfrac{^4C_3}{^{12}C_3}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{6\times 8}{220}+\dfrac{4}{220}=\dfrac{52}{220}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{13}{55}$

Laura got a discount of 100 dollars on her purchase of a 5775 bed.What is the percent of decrease?

matrenka [14]

Remember that percent means parts out of 100
x/100

discount is the decrease
so we divide the decrease by the original total and get
100/5775=0.0173
convert to fraction
0.0173/1
make bottom number 100
multiply by 100/100
1.73/100=1.73%
round
2%

Factor x^2+6x-16 into the form (x+a)(x-b), what is a and b?

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

a=-8 b=2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+6x-16

x^2+(8-2)x-16=0

x^2+8x-2x-16=0

X(X+8)-2(X+8)=0

(X+8)(x-2)=0

Compare with (X+a)(X+b)

Where we get a=-8 b=2
