Okay, so since the discount is 60% of the price and it comes out to $2.8, we are going to form the following expression, where x is the original price.

60% of x = 2.8

Simply means: 60/100 * x = 2.8

You solve for x, which comes out to $4, which is your original price.

Valentin [98]

Answer:

total pages = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

60% of an unknown number is 12

Let the unknown number (total pages) be x.

60/100 of x = 12

60/100 * x = 12

3/5 x = 12

x = 12 * 5/3

x = 20

ehidna [41]
First of all, it's not pie. It's pi.

Now, the problem.
Radius is always 1/2 x d (d meaning diameter)
That gives us 5.

The formula is 3.14 x 5^2(h/3)
If you solve it from left to right, you get 130.83

A train is traveling at a constant speed and goes 17 kilometers in 8 minutes. How far will the train travel in 60 minutes.
allsm [11]

Answer:

Distance B = 1275 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two distances and time be A and B respectively.

Given the following data;

Distance A = 17 kilometers.

Time A = 8 minutes.

Distance B =?

Time B = 60 minutes.

First of all, we would find the constant speed;

Speed = distance/time

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Speed = 17/8

Speed = 2.125 km/m

Now, to find the distance B;

Distance B = speed * time

Distance B = 2.125 * 60

<em>Distance B = 1275 km</em>
