Answer:

$75.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to calculate the percentage decrease

= 100-18

= 82%

Therefore the original cost of the shirt before the discount can be calculated as follows

= 82/100 × x = 61.91

= 82x/100= 61.91

Cross multiply

82x= 100×61.91

82x= 6191

x = 6191/82

= 75.5

Hencd the original cost of the shirt is $75.5

Emily and her children went into a grocery store and she bought $20.80 worth of bananas and peaches. Each banana costs $0.80 and
-BARSIC- [3]

b + p = 14 and 0.80 b + 2 p = 20.80 are the system of equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let b be the number of bananas

Let p be the number of peaches  

Given that the total of bananas and peaches that Emily bought  = 14

Hence we have,

b + p = 14

Step 2 :

Cost of one banana =  $0.80

Cost of one peach = $2

Cost of all the bananas and peaches Emily bought = $20.80

So sum of b bananas costing $0.80 and sum of p peaches costing $2 each is $20.80

Hence we have

0.80 b +2 p = 20.80

Solving for the above 2 equations we can get the value for b and p which will give the number of bananas and peaches bought

Step 3 :

Answer :

The system of equations that could be used to find the number of the bananas and the number of the peaches that Emily bought is given by

b + p = 14

0.80 b +2 p = 20.80

If her original salary is x, then her new salary is 103% of x.
To obtain x from 43989, you therefore divide 43989 by 1.03 to get:
42708 (to nearest dollar).
You can the check it by multiplying by 1.03.

The length of a rectangle is 5 inches more than the width. The area is 33 square inches. Find the length and width . Round to th
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

the length and width . Round to the nearest tenth are 8.8 inches and 3.8 inches respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area A of a rectangle is the product of the length L and width W. This may be expressed mathematically as

A = L * W

As such, given that the length is 5 inches more than the width,

L = W + 5

33 = W(W + 5)

W² + 5W  - 33 = 0

Using the formula method which states that

s = -b±√(b²-4ac)/2a

W = -5 ± √5² - 4(1)(-33)/2

= -5 ± 12.53/2

= 7.53/2 (since length cannot be negative)

= 3.755 inches

L = 3.755 + 5

= 8.755 inches

Circumference of a circle - derivation

This page describes how to derive the formula for the circumference of a circle.

Recall that the definition of pi (π) is the circumference c of any circle divided by its diameter d. Put as an equation, pi is defined as

π

=

c

d

Rearranging this to solve for c we get

c

=

π

d

The diameter of a circle is twice its radius, so substituting 2r for d

c

=

2

π

r

If you know the area

Recall that the area of a circle is given by

area

=

π

r

2

Solving this for r

r

2

=

a

π

So

r

=

√

a

π

The circumference c of a circle is

c

=

2

π

r
