9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) 9:45 pm

  b) 10:57 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 15 hours between 7:30 am and 10:30 pm, the clock hands will have moved 15×0.95 = 14.25 hours = 14 hours and 15 minutes.

At 10:30 pm, the clock indicates 9:45 pm.

__

b) In the 9 hours between 10:30 pm and 7:30 am, the clock will have moved 9×0.95 = 8.55 hours, or 8 hours 33 minutes. That is, the clock needs to be set 27 minutes ahead of the actual time.

The clock need to be set to 10:57 pm.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

At 95% speed, the clock loses 5%×60 minutes = 3 minutes each hour. In the 15 hours from morning to night, the clock will be 45 minutes slow. It will indicate 9:45 at 10:30 pm.

In the 9 hours from night to morning, the clock will lose 27 minutes so needs to be set 27 minutes fast. It should be set to 10:57 pm at 10:30 pm.

Enter an algebraic expression to model the given context. Give your answer in simplest form. The original price p of an item les
ra1l [238]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Original price = p

Less Discount = 20%

Total discount paid for the item = 20% of p

= 20/100 * p

= 0.2 * p

= 0.2p

Actual price after discount = 100% - 20%

= 80%

Total price paid for the item = 80% of p

= 80/100 * p

= 0.8 * p

= 0.8p
