So the sale price was $160 and the shipping fee was $8.
They are asking what percent of the sales price was the shipping fee...
or in other words, what percent of 160 is 8?
Divide 8/160
You should get 0.05, or 5% :)
Answer:
$14.8
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a mistype in the question. It should say: ... <em>si cada uno de ellos hicieron una contribución de </em><em>dieciseis</em><em> pesos...</em>
So if everybody contributes $14, they make a total of 14*x, where x denotes the number of students. In this scenario, $4 are left, calling y to the cost of the trip, then:
14*x = y - 4 (eq. 1)
In the other scenario, everybody contributes $16 and $6 are in excess, so
16*x = y + 6 (eq. 2)
subtracting eq. 1 to eq. 2:
16*x - 14*x = y + 6 - (y - 4)
2*x = y + 6 - y + 4
2*x = 10
x = 10/2 = 5
Replacing this value in eq. 1:
14*5 = y - 4
70 + 4 = y
y = $74
If every student pays: 74/5 = $14.8, then they would get altogether the exact cost of the trip
Answer:
(-1/2, 27/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Midpoint formula: (x^1 +x^2/ 2, y^1 +y^2/ 2)
(-4 +3 /2, 12+15/ 2) -> (-1/2, 27/2)
Answer:
x=-5
Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides by 3:

Subtract 2x from both sides:

Divide both sides by 4:

Hope this helps!
