<h3>Answer: 50 dollars</h3>

==================================================

Work Shown:

x = original price

y = sale price

d = discount = amount saved

d = 12% of x = 0.12x

y = x - d = x - 0.12x = 0.88x

Note how 0.88 = 88%, and this represents the percentage you have to pay if you get 12% off.

We're told the sale price is y = 44, so this leads to...

y = 0.88x

44 = 0.88x

0.88x = 44

x = 44/0.88

x = 50

The original price was $50

---------------------

Check:

If the original price was $50, then the amount you save is 0.12*50 = 6 dollars, which is the discount.

The sale price is 50-6 = 44 dollars which matches up with what your teacher gave you. The answer is confirmed.

Write the ratio of the area of a circle with radius r to the circumference of the same circle

Goshia [24]

Answer:

$\frac{r}{2\pi r} =\frac{1}{2\pi }$

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio is a comparison of two quantities and can be written in several forms including fractions. It is most commonly written in fraction form or a:b.

To write a ratio, we count the number of each quantity we are comparing or use the variable for that quantity. We write radius:circumference. Recall, the circumference of a circle can be found using $\pi d$ or $2\pi r$ .

We write r: $\pi d$ or r: $2\pi r$ .

We can also write in fraction form:

$\frac{r}{\pi d}$ or $\frac{r}{2\pi r} =\frac{1}{2\pi }$

Does Y equals 3X minus to have a solution

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Graph the second equation by finding two data points. By setting first x and then y equal to zero it is possible to find the y intercept on the vertical axis and the x intercept on the horizontal axis. At the point of intersection of the two equations x and y have the same values.

4) A line has a slope of -5 and passes through the point (2, 2). An equation for this line is

stich3 [128]

Answer:

$D: y= -5x+12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the slope is -5 is either C or D. Let's replace $x= 2$ in either to see what we get.

C: $-5(2)-2 = -12$ Nope.

D: $-5(2) +12 = 2$ Good!

a buret is a tool designed to transfer precise amounts of liquid .A buret initially contains 70.00 millimeters of a solution and

katrin [286]

Let:

Vbu= Volume of the buret

Vbk= Volume of the beaker

A buret initially contains 70.00 millimeters of a solution and a beaker initially contains 20.00 ml of the solution the buret drips solution into the Beaker. each drip contains 0.05 mL of solution, therefore:

x = Number of drips

a = volume of each drip

$\begin{gathered} Vbu=70-ax \\ Vbk=20+ax \\ \text{where:} \\ a=0.05 \\ Vbu=70-0.05x \\ Vbk=20+0.05x \end{gathered}$

after how many drips will the volume of the solution in the buret and beaker be equal ? Vbu = Vbk:

$\begin{gathered} Vbu=Vbk \\ 70-0.05x=20+0.05x \\ \text{Solve for x:} \\ 0.1x=70-20 \\ 0.1x=50 \\ x=\frac{50}{0.1} \\ x=500 \end{gathered}$
