Answer:

The number of students chose jogging is <u>144</u>, chose swimming is <u>72</u>, chose yoga is<u> 144</u> and chose biking is <u>288</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

At westwood Middle School, 648 students responded to a survey asking about their favorite type of exercise.

Twice as many students chose jogging as swimming.

The same number of students chose yoga as jogging.

Twice as many students chose biking as jogging.

Now, to find the number of students chose each type of exercise.

<em>Let the students chose jogging be </em>w.<em />

<em>The student chose swimming be </em>x.<em />

<em>The student chose yoga be </em>y.<em />

<em>And the student chose biking be</em> z.

As per given in question:

Twice as many students chose jogging as swimming.

w=2x\\\frac{w}{2} =x\\.........(1)

The same number of students chose yoga as jogging.

y=w .........(2)

Twice as many students chose biking as jogging.

z=2w.  .........(3)

Total students surveyed = 648.

According to question:

w+x+y+z=648.

Putting the value from above equations (1), (2) and (3) we :

w+\frac{w}{2} +w+2w=648

4w+\frac{w}{2}=648

\frac{8w+w}{2} =648

\frac{9w}{2}=648

<em>Multiplying both sides by 2 we get:</em>

9w=1296

<em>Dividing both sides by 9 we get:</em>

w=144.

<u><em>The students chose jogging = 144.</em></u>

<em><u>The student chose swimming:</u></em>

x=\frac{w}{2} \\x=\frac{144}{2} \\x=72

<u><em>The students chose yoga:</em></u>

y=w\\y=144.

<u><em>The student chose biking :</em></u>

z=2w\\z=2\times 144\\z=288

Therefore, the number of students chose jogging is 144, chose swimming is 72, chose yoga is 144 and chose biking is 288.

Tannin and Dax bought a new video game for $48 to use the coupon for 25% off how much would the game cost if they paid full pric
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

$64

Step-by-step explanation:

After using a 25% discount coupon, they paid 48 for the video game.

It means, <em>which number, decreased by 25%, would give us 48?</em>

<em />

First, 25% to decimal is:

25/100 = 0.25

Now, if we let the original price be "x", we can say:

x decreased by 0.25 of x would give us 48

Translating this to algebraic equation gives us:

x - 0.25x = 48

Now, we solve this:

x - 0.25x = 48\\0.75x=48\\x=\frac{48}{0.75}\\x=64

If they paid full price, the video game would cost $64
