Yuki bought a dress on sale for $72. The sale price was 60% of the original price. What was the original price of the dress?

1 answer:

7 0

Lets say the original price is Y. 72$ = 60/100 x Y is the equation. If you solve it you would get Y = 120 $. If this is right could you possibly give me brainliest? Hope this helped.

If two positive fractions are less than 1, why is their product also less than 1?

igor_vitrenko [27]

The product of two positive fractions are also less than one because you are multiplying a number which is already less than 1.

For example.

1/ 2 = is 50% of a whole.

When you multiply 1/2 by 1/2 you do not get the 100% of the whole because you are only getting 50% of the 50% of the whole, which in turn is equivalent to 25% of the whole.

1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 of the whole.

The only time you can get a result of 1 and above where two fractions are less than 1 is when you perform addition of these fractions.

1/2 + 1/2 = 1 - ALL CREDITS GO TO @TASKMASTERS!

I need help with math -4+a=15

MrMuchimi

Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the a.

Add 4 to both sides

a- 4 (+4) = 15 (+4)

a = 15 + 4

a = 19

19 is your answer for a

hope this helps

1/4x – 2 = 3/8 Please show an equation and work. :)

Julli [10]

1/4x - 2 = 3/8

First, to start solving this, we can rearrange our fraction. Let's take 1/4x and change it to x/4. Why? Well, a variable can also be considered as the number 1.
$\frac{x}{4} - 2 = \frac{3}{8}$

Second, now we can continue solving for our variable (x). Let's add 2 to each side.
$\frac{x}{4} = \frac{3}{8} + 2$

Third, let's simplify 3/8 + 2. (3/8 + 2 = 2.375 =19/8)
$\frac{x}{4} = \frac{19}{8}$

Fourth, continue trying to get the variable by itself. Multiply each side by 4.
$x = \frac{19}{8} \times 4$

Fifth, let's simplify 19/8 × 4. This is simple. Leave the denominator be and just do 19 × 4, which equals 76.
$x = \frac{76}{8}$

Sixth, our final step is to simplify our fraction. To do so, we will need to list the factors of the numerator and denominator and find the greatest common factor (GCF).

Factors of 76: 1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76
Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, 8

Since 4 is our first common factor, it is considered our GCF.

Seventh, now let's divide. Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF (4) to create our new simplified fraction.
$76 \div 4 = 19 \\ 8 \div 4 = 2$

Answer in fraction form: $\fbox {x = 19/2}$
Answer in decimal form: $\fbox {x = 9.5}$
