Suppose you want to create a set of weights so that any object with an integer weight from 1 to 40 pounds can be balanced on a t
Archy [21]

Answer:

You need 4 weights, and the weights are 1; 3; 9 and 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Since the scale has two plates, we can place weights on either side and also the object so it can be balanced. </em>

This is a key part of the problem, it's not only on the other side of the scale, but on both sides.

Let's do the math now.

If i get two weights, 1 and 3. I can form this combinations.

Object of 1lb = 1

Object of 2lb + 1 weight = 3 weight.

Object of 3lb = 3 weight

Object of 4lb = 1 weight + 3 weight.

So what if i want to add the next weight and that weight to add me the maximum amount of objects. The weight would have to have a difference with the last object plus one. So if i grab 9. 9 minus 4 is 5. And that is a difference with the last object plus 1.

With a weight of 9, now i can add all the integers up to 13lb.

And the next step? Lets add one more. Keeping the last rule, the weight would have to have a difference with the last object plus one. So if i grab 27, 27 minus 13 is 14. And that is a difference witht the last object plus 1.

The sum of all the weights adds up to 40 pounds. And i can balance any integer in the middle.

The formula we are using is p – n = n + 1

Where p is the new weight. and n is the last object we weighted. And the sum of the weights goes up to the last object we can place on the scale, and in this case is 40.

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let yesterday's price  be x

Discount percentage = 36%

Sale price = $ 560

(100-36)% of x = 560

64 % *x = 560

\frac{64}{100}*x=560\\\\x=560*\frac{100}{64}\\\\x=875

Yesterday's price = $ 875
