Mathematics

mel-nik [20]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The original price was 780.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of the computer

The sales tax is x* .08

The total price is x + .08x = 1.08x

This is equal to 842.50

1.08x = 842.50

Divide each side by 1.08

1.08x/1.08=842.50/1.08

x =780.09

The original price was 780.09

A man sells a type of nut for $7 per pound and a different one for $4.20 per pound, how much of each type should be used to make
qwelly [4]

Answer:

a type nut is 10 pounds

a different one is 14 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

let a type of the nut be represented by t

Let a different one be represented by d

a type of nut cost $7 per pound

a different one cost $4.20 per pound

The cost of the mixture for 24 pounds = 5.37 * 24

= $128.88

t + d = 24 ........(1)

7t + 4.2d = 128.88 ..........(2)

From equation (1), t = 24 - d

Put t = 24 - d in equation 2

7(24 - d) + 4.2d = 128.88

168 - 7d + 4.2d = 128.88

168 - 2.8d = 128.88

-2.8d = 128.88 - 168

-2.8d = -39.12

d = -39.12 / -2.8

d= 13.97

d = 14 pounds

t = 24 - d

t = 24 - 14

t = 10 pounds

A type nut is 10 pounds. A different one is 14 pounds

The volume
Sedaia [141]
\bf \begin{array}{cccccclllll}
\textit{something}&&\textit{varies directly to}&&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
\textit{something}&=&{{ \textit{some value}}}&\cdot &\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
y&=&{{ k}}&\cdot&x
&&  y={{ k }}x
\end{array}\\ \quad \\


and also

\bf \begin{array}{llllll}
\textit{something}&&\textit{varies inversely to}&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
\textit{something}&=&\cfrac{{{\textit{some value}}}}{}&\cfrac{}{\textit{something else}}\\ \quad \\
y&=&\cfrac{{{\textit{k}}}}{}&\cfrac{}{x}
&&y=\cfrac{{{  k}}}{x}
\end{array}


now, we know that V varies directly to T and inversely to P simultaneously
thus\bf V=T\cdot \cfrac{k}{P}

so     \bf V=T\cdot \cfrac{k}{P}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
V=42\\
T=84\\
P=8
\end{cases}\implies 42=\cfrac{84k}{8}\implies 4=k
\\\\\\
V=\cfrac{4T}{P}\qquad now\quad 
\begin{cases}
V=74\\
P=10
\end{cases}\implies 74=\cfrac{4T}{10}\implies 185=T

Multiplying by 3 in gives ...

  distance to school = (12 miles)(3/2) = 18 miles
