Remark
There is a very quick way to do this. Scan the numbers. You want 75 to be the mean, so make it so. Then figure out how many up or down you go from 75. I'll make a list of the givens.
72 - 3 72 is three down from 75 so call it - 3
75 0 That is your desired average so it adds nothing to the score.
74 -1 It is one down from 75, so call it -1
76 +1 It is one up from 75
76 +1 it is one up from 75
75 adds 0.
-3 - 1 + 1 + 1 = - 2
That comes - 2/7 which means that you need a score just under 75. So 75 will give you the right average of 75
Answer B <<<<<
X+2y
Plug in the variables
4+2(7)
4+14
x+2y=18
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
You would simply add the last two equations together. If v=2x+1 and t=4x-1, you can add them up. This would make 2x+1+4x-1. If you combine like terms, 1 and -1 cancel out and you are left with 6x. This means x can be anything.
When you see a "%" you need to ask " a percent of what"?
Here, it's a percent of the original prize, so the discount is 20% of the original prize, that is 20% of 35.
20% is also 20/100 or 1/5, so we can calculate this like this:

so the discount is 7 dollars.
