Answer:

$675

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = original price of laptop

Discount = 10%

Actual price paid = x - 10% of x

= x - .10x

= .90x

Cost of mouse = $13.99

Total amount paid = $621.49

Total amount paid = actual cost of laptop + Cost of mouse

621.49 = .90x + 13.99

621.49 - 13.99 = .90x

607.5 = .90x

x = 607.5 / .90

= 675

Original cost of the laptop = $675

A cat spends about 7 out of 10 hours sleeping about what percent of a cat's day is spent sleeping
hram777 [196]
I understand that it means that out of every 10 hours, a cat spends 7 sleeping (not 7 hours in a day).


this means that a cat is sleeping\frac{7}{10}*100%=70%

a percentage stays constant, this means that a cat sleeps 70 % of each 10 hours, but also 70% of the day.

On Tuesday morning, the temperature is -5º F. The temperature rises 3 4 degree each hour for 6 hours before dropping 1 4 degree
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The temperature in degrees after 9 hours is -1.25 degrees Fahrenheit

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the temperature after 9 hours

Per hour rise each hour is 3/4 degree = 0.75 degree

In 6 hours that will be 0.75 * 6 = 4.5 degrees

Or hour drop is 1/4 = 0.25 degree

In 3 hours, that will be 0.25 * 3 = 0.75 degree

Since it is a drop, we have -0.75 degree

Temperature after 9 hours will be;

-5 + 4.5 -0.75

= -5.75 + 4.5 = -1.25 degrees fahrenheit

What are the missing reasons in the two-column proof?
Nesterboy [21]

Reasons:

1. Because, MO cuts Angle PMN in two equal parts.

2.As ∠PMN is cut in to equal parts thus:

∠PMN = ∠NMO + ∠PMO, where these two parts (∠NMO, ∠PMO) are equal.

3. Both are the same, common you can say..

4. Because, MO cuts Angle PON in two equal parts.

5. As ∠PON is cut in to equal parts thus:

∠PON = ∠NOM + ∠POM, where these two parts (∠NOM , ∠POM) are equal.

6. From the above statements, we have:

= ∠NMO + ∠PMO (Proved)

= ∠NOM + ∠POM (Proved)

= MO = MO (Proved)

Thus, ∆PMO ≅ ∆NMO, by AAS rule
