A $20 decrease followed by a $20 increase - original value
A 75% decrease followed by a 50% increase - less than the original value
A 50% increase followed by a 33 1/3% decrease - greater than the original value
A 60% increase followed by a 40% decrease - greater than the original value
A 100% increase followed by a 33 1/3% decrease - greater than the original
Making a list helps organize the information in a word problem that can otherwise be overwhelming and confusing. Making lists put out a straightforward guide and help you break down the problem so you really understand what you need to do.
Word problem:
Maya has $55 and she gives her brother $10. She also gives her friend $15 and her sister $5. Her sister pays her back fully but her brother only pays back half of what he owed, promising to pay her back later. Her friend gives back 1/3 of what she owed, also promising to pay her back as soon as she can. How much money does Maya currently have?
In this problem, you have to process the money transactions and making a list will help you go step by step.
Answer:
x = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use ratios to solve
6 6+x
-------- = -----------
4 5
Using cross products
6*5 = 4 * (6+x)
30 = 24 + 4x
Subtract 24 from each side
30 -24 = 24+4x-24
6 = 4x
Divide each side by 4
6/4 = 4x/4
3/2 = x
Answer:
c. (5, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
as we can clearly see, the 4th vertex has to be on the positive side of x.
therefore, all answer options with negative x are out.
(2, -5) is almost at D (-1, 5). that cannot be right for a rectangle.
that leaves only c as right answer.
FYI - how to get this without predefined answer portions ?
the x- difference of B to A is 4 (from -5 to -1). the x-difference from D to C must be the same (4). 1 + 4 = 5.
so, x of D must be 5.
the y- difference of B to A is 3 (from 3 to 6). the y-difference from D to C must be the same (3). -5 + 3 = -2.
so, y of D must be -2.
