Hey there! The answer is $40000

<span>A car was sold at $34000. That price was 85℅ of the orginal price.
When we know 85% of the original price we can find 1% of this price by dividing by 85.

1% of the original price = $34000 / 85 = $400
</span>When we know 1% of the original price we can find 100% of this price by multiplying by 100.

100% of the original price = original price = $400 * 100 = $40000
The answer is $40000

Find values of a and b that make the statement |a+b|= |a|+|b| false.

jok3333 [9.3K]

The values that make this statement falser are any in which a and b do not have the same sign.

For instance, if a was equal to 3 and b was equal to -3 than see the results.

|a+b|=

|3+-3|=

|0|= 0

Then see the next equation with the same selections

|a|+|b|

|3|+|-3|

3 + 3 = 6

And this would be true no matter which is the negative, as long as there is one negative and one positive.

What is the measure of an angle whose sine is√3/2 ? 60 45 30

dem82 [27]

ANSWER

The required angle is
$60 \degree$

EXPLANATION

Let the angle whose sine is
$\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}$
be
$x \degree$

Then

$\sin(x \degree) = \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}$

We take the inverse sign of both sides to obtain,

$x = \sin ^{ - 1} ( \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} )$

We use our scientific calculator to evaluate and obtain,

$x = 60 \degree$

How do I do this?<br> 4/5x>14

Likurg_2 [28]

Well, first, you need to know what you want to 'do' to it.

You want to find the description of what 'x' has to be in order to
make that inequality a true statement. Here's one way to do it:

      4/5 x > 14

Multiply each side by 5 :   4    x > 70

Divide each side by 4 :    x > 17.5 .

That's it. As long as 'x' is more than 17.5 ,
the original inequality is true.
