Answer:

  a. $16.90

  b. 23.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

a. After the two discounts, the original price is multiplied by ...

  (1 -10%)(1 -15%) = 0.90×0.85 = 0.765

Then the original price is found from ...

  $12.93 = 0.765 × original price

  original price = $12.93 / 0.765 ≈ $16.90

__

b. The effective discount from the original price is ...

  1 -0.765 = 0.235 = 23.5%

FinnZ [79.3K]

How fast the distance between them decrease is 16mph

<h3>How to calculate the speed of an object?</h3>

Given the following parameters

Speed of the hiker = 6mph

If is it 3/11 the rate of a cyclist, then the rate of the cyclist will be:

6 = 3x/11
3x = 66

x = 22mph

Distance between them  = 22 - 6

Distance between them = 16mph

Hence how fast the distance between them decreases is 16mph

nydimaria [60]

Answer:they will drive 500 miles each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Thompson family is traveling 1,500 miles to visit relatives. They plan to drive the same distance each day.

Let x represent the distance that they travel each day. If the Thompsons make the trip in 3 days, it means that the total distance that they travelled in 3 days would be

3 × x = 3x miles

Therefore , the distance that they will drive each day would be

3x = 1500

Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, it becomes

3x/3 = 1500/3

x = 500 miles
