Answer:

P = 3x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Side 1 = x - 3

Side 2 = x

Side 3 = 2 + (Side 1) = 2 + x - 3 = x - 1

Perimeter = 20 in

Perimeter = Side 1 + Side 2 + Side 3

Perimeter = (x - 3) + (x) + (x - 1)

Perimeter = x - 3 + x + x - 1

Perimeter = 3x - 3 - 1

Perimeter = 3x - 3 - 1

Perimeter = 3x - 4

P = 3x - 4

Carlos is a boat dealer who bought a sailor for 11,400 and sold it for 12,711 what percent was his markup on a boat
dangina [55]
So we have 11400 +11400×x=12711
this represents the original price plus some percentage of the original price is equal to the new price. now all we need to do is solve for x
so 11400+11400x=12711
subtract 11400 from each side
11400x=1311 now divide both sides by 11400
x=.115 or about 12%
we can. check by finding 12% of the original price.
11400×.12=1368
now add to 11400
11400+1368=12768 so we are a bit over. this is because it is actually 11.5% just depends on how accurate your answer needs to be

Sav [38]

The mass lost by Darragh's coin is 0.164 g

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that Darragh has a Golden Eagle coin in his collection with a mass of 13.551 g

An uncirculated Golden Eagle coin has a mass of 13.715 g

To find: mass lost by Darragh's coin

From given question,

Darrangh has coin of mass = 13.551 g

Golden Eagle coin mass = 13.715 g

Darrangh's coin lost mass = 13.715 - 13.551 = 0.164

Thus mass lost by Darragh's coin is 0.164 g
