Answer:
The price of the computer is $1,152
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the price of the computer be $x
The first boy boy had 7/8 of this amount, the amount he has is thus 7/8 × $x = 7x/8
The second boy had 5/6 of what the first boy had. The amount of money he has is thus 5/6 × 7x/8 = 35x/48
Now, the addition of what they have is $696 more than what they need to pay. This amount is x+ 696
Mathematically, this can be represented as;
7x/8 + 35x/48 = x + 696
(42x + 35x)/48 = (x + 696)
77x/48 = (x + 696)
77x = 48(x + 696)
77x = 48x + 33408
77x - 48x = 33408
29x = 33, 408
x = 33,408/29
x = $1,152
Percent (%) = per 100
7 1/5 = 36/5 = 720/100 = 720%
Answer: -8 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
factors of 48: 1,2,4,6,8,12,24,48
1 x 48
2 x 24
4 x 12
6 x 8
for a negative product, one of the factors must be negative and the other positive.
for two number to have a sum of -2, the greater number must be the negative number, and both numbers should have be two values apart (ex. 6 and 8, 3 and 5, 12 and 14, etc.). In this case, 8 would have to be negative whereas 6 will be left positive.
and then we check:
-8 x 6 = 48
-8 + 6 = -2
Answer:
- after the raise, her salary is $1755 per month
- this is a +17% change from her original salary
Step-by-step explanation:
The multiplier of her original salary to her reduced salary is ...
(1 - 10%) = 0.90
The multiplier of her reduced salary after her raise is ...
(1 +30%) = 1.30
The multiplier of her raised salary from her original salary is ...
(0.90)(1.30) = 1.17 = (1 +17%)
Her salary after the 17% raise is ...
1.17·1500/mo = $1755/mo
Answer: w = -3u/2 + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
-12u + 13 = 8w - 3
-12u + 13 + 3 = 8w -3 + 3
-12u + 16 = 8w
w = -3u/2 + 2
