Let x be the price of the highest priced CD Connie can buy, then
1.05x = 15
x = 15/1.05 = $14.29

Therefore, the highest priced CD Connie can buy is priced $14.29

How do u do percentage​
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ill try to break this down, simply:

When we talk about percentages we are talking about how much part of something we have and the percent sign is a just a symbol representing that.

Lets say we have 2 out of 10 apples and we need to convert this to a percentage

First think about how many apples we have in total... and that would be 10, and then how many apples we currently have being 2:

So if we put the part that we have over the whole thing we get:

\frac{2}{10}

So now lets turn this into a decimal, when its something over 10 its really easy, all we have to do is move the decimal back one place!

So we have 2 and if we move the decimal back one place we get .2 or 0.2

Now we have our decimal, to convert this into a percentage all we have to do is multiply our decimal by 100

So:

0.2 x 100 = 20%

All you do when you multiply by 100 is move the decimal back over 2 places one place for each zero so:

0.2 --> 2. --> 20.

Which gives us again 20%

A theatre collected $100 from all the 100 attendees in the audience. The prices of the tickets were $10 for adults, $3 for frien
monitta
You can write a system of equations, I'm pretty sure. 
the first equation would be 
10a+3f+.5c=100
and 
a+f+c=100

For the first equation, its the price of each ticket that adds up to 100 tickets
For the second equation, its the amount of people that adds up to 100 people.

I'm pretty sure this is the route to go but I haven't solved it for myself (yet) I'll probably comment the answer if you need me to

A rectangular room is 1.5 times as long as it is wide, and its perimeter is30 meters. find the dimension of the room.
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

6 meters by 9 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step 1: Formula for perimeter of rectangle</em></u>

Rectangle's perimeter = 2 (length) + 2 (width)

Rectangle's perimeter = 2 (length + width)

<u><em>Step 2: Find the length and width in terms of x</em></u>

Width = x

Length = 1.5 times width

Length = 1.5x

<u><em>Step 3: Find x</em></u>

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

30 = 2 (1.5x + x)

30/2 = 2.5x

15/2.5 = x

x = 6

<u><em>Step 4: Find the length and width</em></u>

Width = x = 6 meters

Length = 1.5x = 1.5(6) = 9 meters

Therefore, the dimensions of the room are 6 meters and 9 meters.
