1 1/5 can be written as 6/5
7 1/2 can be written as 15/2
Let X be the number of laps Kellyn wants to jog to meet her 7 1/2 mile goal:
6/5x = 15/2 Multiply both sides by (5/6), the inverse of 6/5
x = 15(5) / 2 ( 6)
x = 75 / 12
X = 25 / 4, or 6 and 1/4 laps
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Similar figures have sides that are proportional. Setting up a proportion for the sides of the figures will help solve for 'x':
Cross-multiply: 3(x + 1) = 6(x - 3)
Distribute: 3x + 3 = 6x - 18
Combine like terms: 21 = 3x
Solve for 'x': x = 7
Initial cost of the jet ski = $925
Percentage of depreciation per year = 15%
Number of years after which the cost of the jetski has to be determined = 7
Then
Depreciated Value = Initial cost( 1 - percentage of depreciation) ^number of years
= 925( 1 - 15%)^7
= 925( 1 - 15/100)^7
= 925(1 - 0.15)^7
= 925(0.85)^7
= 925 *(0.85)^7
= 925 * 0.3206
= 296.53 dollars
So the depreciated cost of the jet ski after 7 years will be $296.53
Answer:
$36.80
Step-by-step explanation:
15% of 32 = 0.15x32 = $4.80
32+4.80 because it was a tip being added to the bill
=36.80
