Answer:

50 and 30.94

Step-by-step explanation:

  • a

The coat cost 46.5 pounds after a 7 percent reduction

so we can write:

  • 46.5⇒ (100-7)⇒ 93 percent
  • x(the initial price) ⇒ 100 percent

using the proprtionality relation:

x= (100*46.5)/93 = 50

so the initial price of the coat is 50 pounds

  • b

The jumper costs 32.8 pounds after an increase of 6 percent

so:

  • 32.8⇒(100+6)⇒ 106 percent
  • x (the initial price)⇒ 100 percent

using proportionality:

x= (100*32.8)/106 = 30.94

the initial price is 30.94 pounds

Answer:

a. £50

b. £30.94

Step-by-step explanation:

100-7=93

x×93/100=46.50

x×93=46.50×100=4650

x=4650/93=50 £

b.

100+6=106

y×106/100=32.80

y×100=32.80×100=3280

y=3280/106≈30.94£

The model represents an equation. What value of x makes the equation true?
ch4aika [34]

Let's build the equation counting how many x's and 1's are there on each side.

On the left hand side we have 5x's and 8 1's, for a total of 5x+8

On the left hand side we have 3x's and 10 1's, for a total of 3x+10

So, the equation we want to solve is

5x+8 = 3x+10

Subtract 3x from both sides:

2x+8 = 10

Subtract 8 from both sides:

2x=2

Divide both sides by 2:

x=1

Answer:

Height = 14.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals meet at right angles. Interesting property.

The hypotenuse is the side of the rhombus = 15 cm

One of the sides of the small triangles created by the intersection of the diagonals = 24/2 = 12

You can find the other side of the the triangle by using the Pythagorean Theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c = 15

a = 12

b = ?

12^2 + b^2 = 15^2

144 + b^2 = 225

b^2 = 225 - 144

b^2 = 81

b = 9

The area of this right angle = 9 * 12/2 = 54

There are 4 of them so 4 * 54 = 216

That's the area of the rhombus.

The h= Area / b

b = 15

h = 216/15

h = 14.4
