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

The length of a rectangle is 11cm more than the width. The perimeter is 90cm. Find the length and width of the rectangle.
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Length=22.5cm, Breadth=11.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length be l and width be w.

w+22=l

w+w+w+22+w+22=90

4w=90-22-22

    =46

w=46 divided by 4

  =11.5

l=11.5+11

=22.5

Hence,

Length of rectangle=22.5cm

Breadth of rectangle=11.5cm

Can someone help me on this
mr Goodwill [35]

Since this is a right triangle, we can you the pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

In this case,

a = 6

b = ?

c = 10

We need to substitute our values into the pythagorean theorem.

(6)^2 + b^2 = (10)^2. Reduce everything to its simplest form.

36 + b^2 = 100. Subtract 36 from both sides.

b^2 = 64. Take the square root of each side.

b = 8.

Hot air balloons generally descend at a rate of 200 to 400 feet per minute. Four balloons descend 295 feet per minute for 7 minu
slavikrds [6]

make a proportion

<span>Let x = the amount of feet descended in 3 minutes (thus the total change of altitude of the balloon)

</span><span> 320 (feet per minute) / 1 (minute) = x (feet per minute) / 3 (minutes)

</span><span> 1) Divide: 320/1 = 320.
</span><span> 2) Multiply: 320 x 3= 960.

</span><span> The balloon that descends at a rate of 320 feet/minute (so, every minute, it descends 320 feet) descends a total of 960 feet in 3 minutes.

</span><span> The balloon's total change in altitude is -960 feet. </span>
