The equation is part/whole = percent/100. Percent is unknown so it will be a variable, and it was marked down by 7 dollars so subtract : 25-7=18 now let's see our equation : 18/25 = x/100 Now solve : make sure 18/25 is simplified. (It all ready is) Now trade off : 18•100=25•x=1,800=25x (Divide by 25 on both sides and get) : 72=x. It was 72% off. Hoped I helped!

The mean of three number is 15. if 2 of the numbers are 18 and 16 what is the third number​
MrMuchimi

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is calculated as

mean = \frac{sum}{count}

let the third number be x , then

\frac{18+16+x}{3} = 15 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

34 + x = 45 ( subtract 34 from both sides )

x = 11 ← third number

What is the system of inequalities associated with the following graph?
slamgirl [31]

One line passes through the points (-2,3) and (0,-3) , it means the y intercept is b=-3

and slope m = \frac{(-3-3)}{0-(-2)}

= \frac{-6}{2}= -3

So the equation of line will be y= -3x -3

And the inequality should be y\geq -3x-3

Or 3x +y \geq -3

And the other line passes through (-2,3) and (0,2)

So the y intercept is b=2

and the slope is m= \frac{2-3}{0-(-2)} = \frac{-1}{2}

So the equation of line will be y= \frac{-1}{2} x +2\\and the inequality should be  y \leq \frac{-1}{2} x+2

Or

2y +x \leq 4

So answer is 3x +y \geq -3,  x+2y\leq 4

Answer: <u>Madison can travel 2.2 miles less than Anthony on one gallon of gas.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation y = 39.1x represents the number of miles, y, that madison can drive her car for every x gallons of gas.

Question: Madison can travel _ miles _ than Anthony on one gallon of gas.

Lets find how much Madison travels on 1 gallon of gas.

39.1(1) = 39.1

Therefore, Madison travels 39.1 miles on one gallon of gas.

Now lets solve for Anthony

Anthony travels 380.7 miles on 9 gallons of gas.

Therefore we can set up the equation:

9x = 380.7 to show that 9 gallons equates to 380.7 miles

to solve divide 9 from both sides

\frac{9x}{9} =\frac{380.7}{9}

x = 41.3

So, Anthony travels 41.3 miles on one gallon of gas

Now find whether Madison travels more or less than Anthony on one gallon.

39.1 - 41.3 = -2.2

This means that Anthony can travel 2.2 miles more than Madison.


For your answer, this means that:

<u>Madison can travel 2.2 miles less than Anthony on one gallon of gas</u>

<u></u>

<em>Hope this helped and have a nice day :)</em>
