Answer:

120 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the new cost is 144 pounds and this is 20% more,  this is 120% of the original price. Remember 100+20 = 120. To find the original price set up a proportion with these values:

Solve for the original price by cross multiplying numerator with denominator.

x(120) = 144(100)

120x = 14400

x= 120 pounds

n200080 [17]

Answer: By the 8th week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time that matteo and luca have the same amount of money be represented by x.

The information given in the question can be formed into an equation as:

400 - 10x = 200 + 15x

Collect like terms

400 - 200 = 15x + 10x

200 = 25x

x = 200/25

x = 8

Matteo and Luca will have the same amount of money by the 8th week.

Answer:

Incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 toss could not change the frequency by such a large margin 0.47 ---> 0.55.

The number of heads obtained in 30 tosses = 30 * 0.47 =  14.

So if the next toss came up heads the relative frequency of heads would be

15/31 = 0.48.

The answer will stay the same because you can't combine like terms.
