Answer:

£160,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Alice bought the house in 2008 for £x.

In 2014, the house sold for a 20% profit, so it sold for 1.2x. (* see explanation below)

In 2019, the house sold for a 5% loss, so it sold for 0.95(1.2x). (* see explanation below)

In 2019, it sold for £182,400.

0.95(1.2x) = 182,400

1.14x = 182,400

x = 182,400/1.14

x = 160,000

Answer: £160,000

* Explanation of 1.2 and 0.95.

A quick way to apply a percent increase or decrease to a number is to using the following method. The number you start with is 100% of the number. If you are adding a percent to it, then add the percent to 100% and convert it to a decimal. If you are subtracting the percent, then subtract the percent from 100% and convert to a decimal. Then multiply the decimal by the original number to find the increased or decreased number.

Example of percent increase:

A book used to cost £10. The price went up by 12%. What is the new price?

100% + 12% = 112% = 1.12

1.12 * £10 = £11.20

Example of percent decrease:

A pair of trousers costs £60. It is on sale at 35% off the regular price. What is the sale price?

100% - 35% = 65% = 0.65

0.65 * £60 = £39

10.6 \times \frac{10}{10} = \frac{106}{100} = \frac{53 \times 2}{50\times 2} \\\\ = \frac{53}{50} = \boxed{\bf{1 \frac{3}{50}}}

and 10.6 is already written as a decimal.

Complete the system that models the heights of the ball and the receiver’s hands over time. h = -16t² 14t h = -16t² t
bogdanovich [222]

Answer: The height of the ball at time t is given as h = -16t² + 14t + 6 while the height of the receiver hand at time t is given as h = -16t² + 10t + 8

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

A quarterback throws a football toward a receiver from a height of 6 ft. The initial vertical velocity of the ball is 14 ft/s. At the same time that the ball is thrown, the receiver raises his hands to a height of 8 ft and jumps up with an initial vertical velocity of 10 ft/s.

The height of the ball at time t is given as h = -16t² + 14t + 6 while the height of the receiver hand at time t is given as h = -16t² + 10t + 8
