Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the total number of red and blue beads
Angie has some red and blue beads. 40% of her beads were red. This means that the total number of red beads is
40/100 × x = 0.4x
The number of blue beads would be
x - 0.4x = 0.6x
When she lost 50 blue beads, the number of blue beads was reduced by 1/3 its original number of beads. This means that
0.6x - 50 = 0.6x - 0.6x/3
0.6x - 50 = 0.6x - 0.2x = 0.4x
0.6x - 0.4x = 50
0.2x = 50
x = 50/0.2 = 250
The number of blue beads that Angie had initially is
0.6 × 250 = 150
The number of blue beads that Angie has left is
150 - 50 = 100 beads
The number of beads that Angie has in the end is
250 - 50 = 200 beads
Answer:
line 1: y=-2-5
line 2: y= -3+3
Step-by-step explanation:
yuhh
Y=mx+b
m=slope, b=y-intercept
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1), b=value of y when x=0
m=(3--1)/(-2-4)
m=4/-6
m=-2/3, now we have:
y=-2x/3+b, we can solve for b using any point, I'll use (4,-1)
-1=-2(4)/3+b
-1=-8/3+b
-3/3+8/3=b
5/3=b so
y=-2x/3+5/3
Explanation:
Kadisha's method works because 15% is 3 times 5%, and both amounts are computed on the amount of the bill before tax is added.
