85x=22.1/*100
85x=2210 /:85
x=26$- its the answer

The price of an item has been reduced by 70% the original price was $58 what’s the price of the item now ¿

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:$17.40

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a very simple question. First since 70% is the amount of money removed, we do 100-70=30

30% is the price that remains. Change that into a fraction 30/100 and then multiply the original cost

30/100*58=17.4

The answer is $17.40

An athlete knows that when she jogs along her neighborhood greenway, she can complete the route in 10 minutes. It takes 20 minu

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

10 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent athlete's walking speed.

We have been given that her jogging rate is 5 mph faster than her walking rate, so athlete's jogging speed would be $x+5$ miles per hour.

$\text{Distance}=\text{Rate}\cdot \text{Time}$

10 minutes = 1/6 hour.

20 minutes = 1/3 hour

While walking, we will get $D_{\text{walking}}=x\frac{\text{miles}}{\text{hour}}\cdot \frac{1}{3}\text{hour}$

$D_{\text{walking}}=\frac{x}{3}$

While jogging, we will get $D_{\text{jogging}}=(x+5)\frac{\text{miles}}{\text{hour}}\cdot \frac{1}{6}\text{hour}$

$D_{\text{jogging}}= \frac{(x+5)}{6}$

Since athlete is covering same distance while walking and jogging, so we can equate both expressions as:

$\frac{x}{3}=\frac{x+5}{6}$

Cross multiply:

$6x=3x+15$

$6x-3x=15$

$3x=15$

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{15}{3}\\\\x=5$

Therefore, athlete's walking speed is 5 miles per hour.

Jogging speed: $x+5\Rightarrow 5+5=10$

Therefore, athlete's jogging speed is 10 miles per hour.
