Answer: the original price of the skirt is $24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the original price of the skirt. if the original price of the blouse is 18, then the original price of the skirt and blouse is (x + 18)

Jade buys a blouse and a skirt for 3/4of their original price. It means that the amount at which she bought the skirt and blouse is

0.75(x + 18)

Applying the distributive property, it becomes

0.75x + 13.5

Jade pays a total of 31.50 for the two items. It means that

0.75x + 13.5 = 31.5

0.75x = 31.5 - 13.5

0.75x = 18

x = 18/0.75

x = $24

Find the area of the shaded portion in the equilateral triangle with sides 6.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Triangle is equilateral with sides of 6.
Therefore all angles = 60°
Ht of 30-60-90 is 3sr3 = 5.196
Area of 30-60-90 = 1/2×b×h = 3×5.196
Area = 15.59
Pie slice from each corner = 60/360×pi×r^2, with r = 3
1/6×pi×9 = 4.71 × 3 pie slices = 14.13
So, shaded inner region = area triangle - 3 pie corners = 15.59-14.13
= 1.46

She spent 1/6 of it on snacks and 1/3 of it on a new book. She saves the rest. What fraction of the money did she save?
Doss [256]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>First step is that you need to have the same denominators so 1/3=2/6</em>

<em>If she spent 1/6 on snacks and 2/6 on a book which means she spent 3/6</em>

<em>so the fraction of what she saved is 3/6 or 1/2</em>
