The price of a washing machine was decreased by 20% to £640.

Mathematics
1 answer:
pickupchik [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

£800

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the percentage formula: NV = m x OV

NV is New Value;

m is Multiplier;

and OV is Old Value.

£640 in the New value, so now we have to convert 20% to a multiplier and find out the Old value.

Make OV the subject of the formula: OV = NV / m

So 20% decrease would mean: 100 - 20 = 80 * 100 = 0.80

Divide 640 (NV) by 0.80 (m) and it will give you:

£800

And it would make sense that the OV is higher, and it matches the statement -> as the NV is the decrease.

Luba_88 [7]

First, we would set the number to x.

Then, we turn the words into an equation.

x+75 = 3x-39

Isolate the x.

-2x = -114

So...

x = 57

What is the equation of a circle with center (-3,-5) and radius 4?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:   D) (x + 3)² + (y + 5)²  = 16

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The equation of a circle is: (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²    

where (h, k) = center   and    r = radius

Given: (h, k) = (-3, -5)  r = 4

Equation: (x - (-3))² + (y - (-5))² = 4²

                 (x + 3)²  +  (y + 5)²  = 16
