A furniture store is having a sale where everything is 40% off.

1 answer:

8 0

If everything in the store is 40% off, then you can assume that the discount is .4*p, so the equation for the amount of discount would be d=.4p

The equation for the sale price of an item would be the starting price, p, minus the discount price, d. If we write this equation, we get S=p-d. Since we already solved for d, we can plug that into this new equation to get s=p-.4p. If the regular price is $85, then we can plug that in for p.

when it is plugged in, we get s=85,.4(85). Simplify this and you get s=85-34 or s=51. This means that the sale price would be $51

The mean weight 20 students in a room is 65 kg one student one student who weight is 88kg went into the room what is the new mea

umka2103 [35]

The new mean is 66.09

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mean weight of 20 students = 65kg

One student with 88kg entered the room.

New mean = ?

$\frac{x_1+x_2+....+x_2_0}{20} = 65$

$\frac{x_1+x_2+....+x_2_0 + 88}{21} = ?$

The above equation can further be written as:

$x_1 + x_2 +....+x_2_0 = 65 X 20\\\\x_1 + x_2 +....+x_2_0 = 1300$

New mean = $\frac{1300 + 88}{21}$

= 66.09

Therefore, the new mean is 66.09

What equation best models this data? (Use y to represent the population in millions, and t to represent the year, assuming that

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

y = 2.31x + 309.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever you are checking for a best fitting equation you want to check if it has a constant slope. If it does then the relation is linear and super easy.

So, since the t values are increasing by the same amount you want to see if the y values are too. And they are, each population entry is increasing by 2.31, this is the slope.

Also, keep in mind you can caluclate slope with the equation $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ here x is replaced by t though.

Now, since we know it's linear and we know the slope we can find the equation with the formula y - y1 = m(x - x1) where again, x is replaced by t and m is the slope 2.31

I am just going to use the first point. so x1 = t1 = 0

y - 309.35 = 2.31(x-0)

y = 2.31x + 309.35

Let me know if there was something you didn't understand.

Three people invest at a ratio of 1:4:7. If the partnership is worth $636,000, what did each person invest?

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

See the detailed answers below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Ratio= 1:4:7

combined ratio= 1+4+7= 12

Total amount= $636,000

Apply the part to all method

The first person will take

1/12= x/ 636,000

cross multiply

12x= 636,000*1

x= 636,000/12

x= 53000

The second person will take

4/12= x/ 636,000

cross multiply

12x= 636,000*4

x= 2544000/12

x= 212000

The third person will take

7/12= x/ 636,000

cross multiply

12x= 636,000*7

x= 4452000/12

x= 371000
