To measure the distance across a pond, Sandy and Garrett mark a spot at on

Mathematics
1 answer:
DerKrebs [107]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

distance across the pond: 13 yd

distance walked by Garret: 12 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

  • distance across the pond: x yd
  • distance walked by Sandy: 5 yd
  • distance walked by Garret: x-1 yd

A right triangle is formed where the distance across the pond is the hypotenuse. From Pythagorean theorem:

x² = 5² + (x-1)²

x² = 25 + x² - 2x + 1

0 = 26 - 2x

x = 13

Dazuri saw the following advertisement at a sports store how much does each soccer ball cost
Nadusha1986 [10]

Based on the advertisement seen by Dazuri, the cost of each soccer ball is $22.50

<h3>How to find the cost?</h3>

The advertisement says that the original cost of the ball is $30 but there is a 25% discount.

The price of each soccer ball is therefore reduced by the 25% discount on the ball.

The amount that each soccer ball costs is therefore:
= 30 - ( 30 x 25%)

= 30 - 7.5

= $22.50

Rest of the question is:
Soccer balls on sale at a 25% discount. Prices go back to $30 in a week. Don't miss out.

Vilka [71]

Answer:

   24 birds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the number of birds at the shelter on Wednesday. Then the cost of care for the 41 animals is ...

  5b +7.5(41 -b) = 247.50

  -2.5b +307.50 = 247.50 . . . . . simplify

  -2.5b = -60 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 307.50

  b = 24 . . . . . . . . . divide by -2.5

The number of birds at the shelter on Wednesday was 24.

(5x-2) + (2x+6) = 67, so we simplify and solve for x:
7x + 4 = 67 --> 7x = 63 --> x = 9

Now we substitute 9 for x in (5x-2):
5(9) - 2 --> 45 - 2 = 43

The distance between A and B is 43 miles.
Hope this Helps!
