Answer:
free throws = 6
2 points shots = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
To do this we will have 2 incognitas.
x = number of free throws
y = number of shots of 2 points
x(1) + y(2) = 12
he says he made twice as many free throws as 2 points
x = 2y
2y(1) + y(2) = 12
2y + 2y = 12
4y = 12
y = 12/4
y = 3
x = 2y
x = 2*3
x = 6
free throws = 6
2 points shots = 3
C) (0.85 + x/100)(250+145) does not give the correct answer.
Explanation
A) works; adding the two costs together is 250+145=395. We multiply this by 0.85 because 100%-15%=85%=0.85. We also have x% tax, which is represented by x/100, added to 100% of the value, or 1.00. Altogether this gives us
395(0.85)(1+x/100) = 395(0.85 + (0.85x/100)) = 395(0.85) + 395(0.85x/100)
= 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x)
B) works; we have 250+145 for the original price; we have 85% = 0.85 of the value; we also have 100% + x%, which is (100+x)/100.
C) does not work; (0.85+x/100)(395) does not take into consideration that you are finding the tax after taking the 85%. This will simplify out to
0.85*395 + (x/100)(395) = 335.75 + 395x/100 = 335.75 + 3.95x, which is too much.
D) works; simplifying the expression from A, we have 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x) = 335.75 + 3.3575x.
The answer to this would be 5x+6>=21. Just wanted points :P
M = 90 kg,
On Mars: g = 3.71 m/s²
Weight = m · g = 90 kg · 3.71 m/s² = 333.9 N
1 N = 0.2248 lbf
333.9 · 0.2248 = 75.06072 lbf ≈ 75 lbf
