1) Find the percentage difference between 12% and 100%.

100-12= 88%

1a) Put the percentage in its decimal form.

88%/100= 0.88

2) Divide 17.60 by 0.88

17.60/0.88= 20

Therefore, the original price of the lamp is $20.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Original price of the lamp is $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference from 100-12, which gives us equal to 88. Then, you divide 100 to use decimal form, 88/100=0.88 or 100/100=1. Divide decimals from left to right. 17.60/0.88=20%. The original price of the lamp is 20, which is our answer.

I hope this helps!

Ricky Bobby wants to buy a new automobile for $55,000 in 8 years. How much money must Ricky's original investment be if he makes

laila [671]

Answer:

PV= $40,279.36

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of periods= 8*12= 96 months

Interest rate= 0.039/12= 0.00325

Future value (PV)= $55,000

<u>To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:</u>

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 55,000 / (1.00325^96)

PV= $40,279.36

How did the temperature change if: At first it increased by 25% and then decreased by 40%

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

24.6 % decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original temperature

Increase by 25%

x + .25x

1.25x

Decrease by 40%

The amount decreased is

(1.25x) *.40

.496x

Subtract that from 1.25x

1.25x - .496x

.754x

We need to find the percent decrease

1 - .754 = .246

24.6 % decrease

Answer:

2) $\frac{\sqrt{77}}{11}$

3) 5√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplest radical form of an expression is the expression in radical so that there are no more square roots, cube roots, 4th roots, etc left to find, after rationalising the denominator ( if needed ).

2. Here the given expressions,

$\frac{\sqrt{7}}{\sqrt{11}}$

For rationalising the denominator multiply both numerator and denominator by √11,

$\frac{\sqrt{77}}{11}$

3. given expression,

$\sqrt{50}$

$=\sqrt{25\times 2}$

$=\sqrt{25}\times \sqrt{2}$ $(\because \sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\sqrt{b})$

$=5\sqrt{2}$
