Answer:
The bigger avocado will be a better deal if the ratio of the sizes of the bigger one to the smaller one is less than the ratio of the prices of the bigger one to the smaller one.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that two sizea of avocados are being sold, since the regular size is being sold for $0.84 each, let the price for the bigger avocado be $x.
Then note the following:
1. How bigger than the smaller avocado is the bigger one?
This would determine if the price for the bigger one is a bargain, or a mistake.
If for instance, the bigger avocado is double the size of the smaller one, then for any price, $x less that $1.68 (twice of $0.84), it is a bargain.
The bigger avocado will be a better deal if the ratio of the sizes bigger one to the smaller one is less than the ratio of the prices of the bigger one to the smaller one.
Answer:
$90
Step-by-step explanation:
The shoes now cost 130% of the original cost
The original cost is 100%
Take the new amount and divide it by 130:
117/130 = .90
Then multiply that number by 100 to get the original percent
.90 x 100 = $90
To check, multiply $90 by 130% or 1.30 to make sure that a 30% increase makes the product $117
$90 x 1.30 = $117
Answer:
2√6
Step-by-step explanation:
find the hypotenuse of the triangle thats 3 and 7
pythagorean
3 squared + 7 squared
16 + 49 = 57
√57 is the hypotenuse
√57 is also the base of the triangle that has side thats 9
pythagorean theorem
x squared + √57 squared = 9 squared
x^2 + 57 = 81
x^2 = 81 - 57
x^2 = 24
x = √24
x = √4 * √6
x = 2√6
Decimal: 1.4 (35 divided by 25 is 1.4)
Percentage: 140% ( move decimal point two spaces to the right)
