Answer:

$300 was the regular price of the sofa.

Step-by-step explanation:

If $219 is 27% less than the regular price, then it represents 73% of the regular price.

Regular price = r.

r/1 x 73/100 = $219. Reverse this to find that $219/1 divided by 73/100 = r.

To divide fractions, reverse the second fraction and MULTIPLY:

$219/1 x 100/73 = 21900/73 = 300.

Iodine-125 has a half-life of about 60 days.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Since it has a half life of 60 days, this means that every 60 days it multiplies by 0.5. Since it asks for 300 days, your equation is 500*(0.5)^5, which is 15.625 mg left after 300 days.

What is the solution for r in the following system of equations?<br> 2x + 3y = 16<br> 2 + 2y = 10

klio [65]

Answer:

(2,4)

*View attached graph*

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 16

2 + 2y = 10

-2 - 2

2y = 8

/2 /2

y = 4

2x + 3y = 16

2x + 3(4) = 16

2x + 12 = 16

- 12 - 12

2x = 4

/2 /2

x = 2

(x,y) -> (2,4)

Hope this helps!
