Answer:

Either £16 or £26.32 depending on what you meant in the question

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to answer the question in 2 ways, since I'm not sure if you mean £14 or 14%

If its £14, then the original price is 30-14 = £16

If its 14% then that means after the increase, the shirt will be 100%+14% of the original price or 114% of the original price.

This means that

£30 = 114%

To make it easier, reduce the 114% to 1 %

1% = 30/114

1% = £0.26316

100% = £26.32 (rounded to 2 decimal places)

Therefore the original price was £26.32

So the increased price is 30 and it was increased by 14
So the cost before was 30 - 14 = 16

6) A standard deck has 52 cards, and contains 13 cards of each of the four suits: diamonds, spades, hearts, and clubs. What is t

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

$\dfrac{12}{51}\cong\dfrac{4}{17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 52 cards in a deck and 13 cards of each suit.

The probability of picking a diamond in a complete deck of cards is:

$\dfrac {13}{52}$

Or the probability is 13 put of 52.

Since you took out 1 diamond card already there would be only 51 cards left and 12 diamond cards left. So you would have a probability of:

$\dfrac{12}{51}$

If we simplify it you will have a probability of:

$\dfrac{4}{17}$

dexar [7]

Answer:

791.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The cable is inclined and this acts as the hypotenuse. Since the other two sides are given.

$H=\sqrt {x^{2}+y^{2}}$

where x and y represent the distance between two cliffs apart and difference in heights. Substituting 740 for x and 280 for y then

$H=\sqrt {740^{2}+280^{2}}=791.20161779409930627669981858168023442712 ft\approx 791.2 ft$
