Answer:

The original price of the calculator was $444

Step-by-step explanation:

So follow this equation

1.99x=883.56

1.99 becuase 99 percent is the .99 and since the original price with no change of all is worth 100 percent With no sales or increases, we add the 99 percent this time becuase it increased by 99%.

X is for the original price of the calculator

If you still don’t undertsand it works like this.

100% is basically 1.00 becuase you move the decimal place 2 times to the left for percentages. And if you multiply the original price by 100 percent, its basically 1x which will end up with x. Same thing. But when you increase a price, you add to the 1.00 like in this case 99% increase which is adding .99 to 1.00. If it decreases same thing except you subtract from that 1.00 But the percent. this saves a whole nother step Which makes percentage questions liek these much quicker and easier.

Alright so the eqaution is 1.99x=883.56

Solve by isolating x by dividing 1.99 on both sides

You’d get 444=x

$444 is the original price

Answer:

$444

Step-by-step explanation:

1.99 * x = 883.56  [The price has increased by 99%, so you multiply it by 1 + 0.99]

x = 444

I will give crown to the best answe PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

You can't get to quadrant 4 to quad 2 without 2 steps. The answers tell you that. The question is, did you use a reflection and a y or x translations or 2 reflections or 2 y or 2x translations.

Argument
You can take one point and see if it translate from beginning (purple triangle) to (yellow triangle) end. If two conditions will get you the right answer, then you have to try another point to break the tie.

We'll use Point C.
Choice A: If you reflect C over the y axis, you will go from (-5,1) to (5,1)
                 If you move C six units down, you will go from (5,1) to  (5,-5) which is where C' is.
                 That is pretty much the answer.

I could confirm it with another point which is the way your should do it.

Try Point A

Choice A:  Point A reflects across the y axis going from (-3,4) to (3,4)
                 Point A  translates down by moving from (3,4) to (3,-2) to become A'

Answer reflection and translation  in condition A

More Comment
I should do one more for you to show you that it is wrong.
You can try Choice B of the multiple Choice answers.

We will use Point C 
If we translate C across the x axis it will go from (-5,1) to (-5,-1)
The we are to translate 1 unit up. We will go from (-5,0) from (-5,-1) That's nowheres near where C' is. Choice B is wrong.

The director of health services is concerned about a possible flu outbreak at her college.
Anna [14]
"Given that he is male" is an important phrase here. The "given" in any probability problem is often important. This tells us "only focus on the males" because we know 100% that whoever we picked, the person is a male. 

So we only focus on the "male" column. Use a highlighter to mark this column or cover up the other values if they are too distracting. There are 51 males total (bottom row) and 39 males had a flu shot (top row)

Divide the two values: 39/51 = (13*3)/(17*3) = 13/17

Answer: 13/17

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!
xeze [42]

Answer:

JM = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Because MN║JL,

\frac{MK}{JM} = \frac{KN}{NL}

\frac{5}{2x + 4}  = \frac{6}{12}  =  \frac{1}{2}

2(5) = 1(2x + 4)

10 = 2x + 4

2x = 6

x = 3

JM = 2x + 4 = 2(3) + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10
