Answer:

£ 170 .

Step by step explanation :

Given that the price of a computer was decreased by 20% to £136. And we need to find the Original price before the decrease. So , let the earlier price be x ,

<u>Decrease in 20 % :- </u>

⇒ Decreased price = 20% of x

⇒ Decreased price = 20/100 × x

⇒ Decreased price = x/5

<u>New price :- </u>

⇒ New price = x - x/5

⇒ New price = 5x - x/5

⇒ New price = 4x/5.

But its given £ 136 , So

⇒ 4x/5 = £ 136

⇒ x = £ 136 * 5/4

⇒ x = £ 170

<h3><u>Hence</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> Original</u><u> price</u><u> </u><u>was</u><u> </u><u>£</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>7</u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>.</u></h3>

315/356 = about 0.88 or 88%. <span>
64/144= about .044 or 44%

</span><span>They will not have equal opportunity to get the math class they requested, if both percents were equal, it would be fair. For honors students, 88% of them will get the class they requested, but for non honors students it's 44%.</span>

How to solve this please help!!

Mary is incorrect. Perimeter is not proportional to area. An example which you can use is garden A is an 8 by 1 rectangle. The perimeter is 18 while the area is 8. Graden B is a 4 by 4 square. The perimeter is 16 (less than garden A) while the area is 16 (two times more than garden B).

Two men are at the grocery store at noon. One walks 0.6 miles east and the other one walks 0.8 miles north. After that they stop
Anettt [7]
The north displacement and the east displacement can be viewed as simply the legs of a right triangle and the distance between them is just the magnitude of the hypotenuse so:

h^2=x^2+y^2, where h is the distance between the two points, x is the easterly distance and y is the northerly distance....

h^2=.8^2+.6^2

h^2=.64+.36

h^2=1

h=1

So they are one mile apart from each other.
