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

Mary ravi and Alan have a total of $62 in their wallets. Mary has $6 more than Ravi. Alan has 2 times what Mary has. How much do

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Marry = $17

Ravi = $11

Alan = $34

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume

Mary be X

Ravi be Y

Alan be Z

So, the equation in total is

X + Y + Z = 62

It is given that

X = Y + 6

Z = 2X

Now we put the Z value in the total equation, so it would be

X + Y + 2X = 62

3X + Y = 62 .................................... (1)

And can we write

X = Y + 6

X - Y = 6 ................................. (2)

Now substitution these two equations,

3X + Y = 62

X - Y = 6

2X = 68

X = $17

So, Z = 2 × 17 = $34

And, Y

$17 + Y + $34 = $62

So, Y = $11

Tricky but not crazy hard. You could use th x/y method where you turn it into a cross multiplication fiasco.

or you can try your guesses through what ever equals 1/2 when you add one to the denominator. the answer you are looking for is 2/3

2/3 + 1 for the numerator = 1.

2/3 + 1 for the denominator = 1/2.

Archy [21]

Answer:

#7: MK, LS and PR

#8: PN and PQ

#9: no

#10: no

Step-by-step explanation:

#7: lines MK, LS and PR are not intersecting each other, so these lines are parallel each other

#8: between lines PN and PQ is an right angle, so the lines PN and PQ are perpendicular

#9: lines PN and KM have an intesecting point, so they're not parallel

#10: there is no right angle between lines PR and NP
