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.

How much money should be deposited today in an account that earns 7% compounded semiannually so that it will accumulate to $11,0
Alona [7]

Answer:

$8950.37

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the compound amount formula A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), in which P is the initial amount of money (the principal), r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, n is the number of times per year that interest is compounded, and t is the number of years.

Here we have A = $11,000, n = 2, r = 0.07 and t = 3, and so:

$11,000 = P(1 + 0.07/2)^(2*3), or

$11,000 = P (1.035)^6

                                           $11,000        $11,000

Solving for P, we get P = ---------------- = ------------- = $8950.37

                                            1.035^6          1.229

Depositing $8950.37 with terms as follows will result in an accumulation of $11,000 after 3 years.

ACD is a triangle and B is a point on AC. AB = 8cm and BC is 6cm. Angle BCD = 48° and angle BDC = 50°. (a) Find the length of BD
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

  • 5.8206 cm
  • 10.528 cm
  • 23.056 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The Law of Sines can be used to find BD.

  BD/sin(48°) = BD/sin(50°)

  BD = (6 cm)(sin(48°)/sin(60°)) ≈ 5.82064 cm

__

(b) We can use the Law of Cosines to find AD.

  AD^2 = AB^2 +BD^2 -2·AB·BD·cos(98°) . . . . . angle ABD = 48°+50°

  AD^2 ≈ 110.841

  AD ≈ √110.841 ≈ 10.5281 . . . cm

__

(c) The area of ∆ABD can be found using the formula ...

  A = ab·sin(θ)/2 . . . . . where a=AB, b=BD, θ = 98°

  A = (8 cm)(5.82064 cm)sin(98°)/2 ≈ 23.0560 cm^2

_____

Angle ABD is the external angle of ∆BCD that is the sum of the remote interior angles BCD and BDC. Hence ∠ABD = 48° +50° = 98°.

Karissa begins to solve the equation (x – 14) + 11 = x – (x – 4). Her work is correct and is shown below. (x – 14) + 11 = x – (x
sdas [7]
Her work is incorrect because she accidentally changed -14 to -7 in the second step.
Working it out from the top we get
(x-14)+11=x-(x-4)
x-14+11=x-x+4
x-3=0+4
Final answer:
x=7
Hope I helped :)

When renting a limo for prom, the number of people varies inversely with the cost per person. Originally there were 4 people and
ioda

Answer:The new cost per person= $19 when there are 12 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let Number of people be rep as N

And Cost per person = C

such that the relationship of  number of people which varies inversely with the cost per person is given as

N∝ 1/C

Introducing constant of proportionality, k, we have that

N= K/C

such that when there were 4 people the cost per person was $57, K would be

N= K/C

4 = K /57

k= 57 X 4

k=228

Step 2

Therefore If the number of people changed to 12, cost per person would be

N= K/C

12= 228 / C

C= 228/12

C= 19

The new cost per person= $19 when there are 12 people
