A surfboard is on sale for 60%

sale price is $199.00

Let the original price be x then

we can write

$\\ \ x-\frac{60}{100}x=199\\ \\ \ \Rightarrow \frac{100x-60x}{100}=199\\ \\ \ \Rightarrow \frac{40x}{100}=199\\ \\ \ \Rightarrow 40x=199*100\\ \\ \ \Rightarrow x=\frac{19900}{40}=497.5\\$

If the sale is of 60% it means that it is being sold for:

100 - 60 = 40%

Now use the rule of three to find the answer:

40 - 199

100- x

(100 * 199) / 40 = x

19900 / 40 = x

497,5 = x

Answer:

$\boxed{\bf~The~original~price~is~497,5~dollars.}$

Hope it helped,

Given:

The expression is $5+4\times 2+6-2\times 2-1$ .

To find:

The position of parentheses inserted in the expression to get the value 19

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

$5+4\times 2+6-2\times 2-1$

Now,

$(5+4)\times 2+6-2\times 2-1=9\times 2+6-4-1$

$(5+4)\times 2+6-2\times 2-1=18+6-5$

$(5+4)\times 2+6-2\times 2-1=18+1$

$(5+4)\times 2+6-2\times 2-1=19$

There are more ways to apply the parenthesis, but we do not get 19.

$5+4*\left(2+6\right)-2*2-1=32\neq 19$

$5+4*2+\left(6-2\right)*2-1=20\neq 19$

$5+4*2+6-2*\left(2-1\right)=17\neq 19$

And many more possibilities.

Therefore, the expression after inserting the parentheses is $(5+4)\times 2+6-2\times 2-1$ .

Kruka [31]

Answer:

$\int_{0}^{\frac{3 \pi}{4}}3 \cos{\left(x \right)}\ dx\approx 3.099558$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the Riemann sum for $\int_{0}^{\frac{3 \pi}{4}}3 \cos{\left(x \right)}\ dx$ with n = 6, using left endpoints.

The Left Riemann Sum uses the left endpoints of a sub-interval:

$\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx\approx\Delta{x}\left(f(x_0)+f(x_1)+2f(x_2)+...+f(x_{n-2})+f(x_{n-1})\right)$

where $\Delta{x}=\frac{b-a}{n}$ .

Step 1: Find $\Delta{x}$

We have that $a=0, b=\frac{3\pi }{4}, n=6$

Therefore, $\Delta{x}=\frac{\frac{3 \pi}{4}-0}{6}=\frac{\pi}{8}$

Step 2: Divide the interval $\left[0,\frac{3 \pi}{4}\right]$ into n = 6 sub-intervals of length $\Delta{x}=\frac{\pi}{8}$

$a=\left[0, \frac{\pi}{8}\right], \left[\frac{\pi}{8}, \frac{\pi}{4}\right], \left[\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3 \pi}{8}\right], \left[\frac{3 \pi}{8}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right], \left[\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{5 \pi}{8}\right], \left[\frac{5 \pi}{8}, \frac{3 \pi}{4}\right]=b$
