We need to write an expression to solve this problem. We do as follows:

(1 - .85)x = 75
x = 75 / (1-.85)
x = 75 / .15
x = 500

Therefore, the original price of the machine would be 500. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Jennifer works 3 1/2 hours each morning at the clinic. How many routine physicals could she complete in one morning? (Routine ph

den301095 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Work hours = 3 1/2 hours

One routine physical routine requires: 1/3 hours.

Number of routines can be completed = Total work hours / Time required for one physical routine

= $3\frac{1}{2} / \frac{1}{3}\\=\frac{7}{2} /\frac{1}{3} \\=\frac{7}{2} *3\\$

= 10.5 routines.

In this case, we are unable to complete half a routine (0.5), so we will choose the highest possible whole number, in this case, its 10 routines.
