Mickey's bowling score is 16 less
Tpy6a [65]

Mickey's bowling score is 167 and Minnie's bowling score is 61

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

1. Mickey's bowling score is 16 less  than 3 times Minnie's score

2. The  sum of their scores is 228

We need to find the score of each one

Assume that the score of Minnie is x

∵ Minnie's score = x

∵ Mickey's score is 16 less  than 3 times Minnie's score

- That means subtract 16 from 3 times Minnie's score

∴ Mickey's score = 3 x - 16

∵ The sum of their scores is 228

- Add their scores and equate the sum by 228

∴ x + 3 x - 16 = 228

- Add like terms in the left hand side

∴ 4 x - 16 = 228

- Add 16 for both sides

∴ 4 x = 244

- Divide both sides by 4

∴ x = 61

Substitute the value of x to find their scores

∵ Minnie's score is x

∴ Minnie's score = 61

∵ Mickey's score is 3 x - 16

∴ Mickey's score = 3(61) - 16 = 167

Mickey's bowling score is 167 and Minnie's bowling score is 61

A blazer cost $38 and you pay $39.90. how much is the sales tax rate
geniusboy [140]
To find the percentage, you divide the new price ($39.90) by the original price ($38), and the multiply it by 100 to change the answer from a decimal to a percentage:

39.90 / 38 x 100 = 105

So 39.90 is 105% of 38

To get our final answer, subtract this by 100%

105 - 100 = 5%

ANSWER: So the percentage increase of the price is 5%  ($1.90)
