Answer: the original price of the shorts was $25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the original price of the shorts.
The store is having a sale in which all items are reduced by 20%. This means that the amount of discount on the shorts is
20/100 × x = 0.2x
The price of the shorts would be
x - 0.2x = 0.8x
If the sales tax is 5%, then the amount of sales tax charged is
5/100 × 0.8x = 0.04x
The final cost of the shorts would be
0.8x + 0.04x = 0.84x
Including tax, Jennifer paid $21 for a pair of shorts. This means that
0.84x = 21
x = 21/0.84
x = 25
The answer is 4/9.
To find the answer you would need to find the values of x and y. Using the given information you know x/5 is equal to 2/3. Then you would cross multiply and divide in order to fine the value of x, which is 10/3. Doing the same thing to find y, which would be 15/2. Since it’s day the ratio of x and y. You would divide the value of x by y to get your answer of 4/9.
The probability that the sum of the dice is 7 is 1/2 because there are only three combinations that result in the sum of 7: (1,6)(2,5) and (3,4). But there are 6 possible outcomes( this is if you don’t add reverse combinations such as 1,6 and 6,1) so the probability would be 3/6 or 1/2
