Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

Let original price be x

So we then reduce the price by 25%.

So what is 25% of x? Well, 25% is 25 percent. PERCENT is Latin: PER CENT....out of 100. So 25 out of 100 is 25/100 --> 0.25.

So 0.25 of x means 0.25x. This is the amount we took off, to reduce the price.

So we had ORIGINAL less REDUCTION = new price

--> x - 0.25x = 36

--> 1x - 0.25x = 36

--> 0.75x = 36

--> x = 36/0.75

--> x = 48

Tell me if i am wrong?

Answer:

.75? A pair of jeans sells for $36 after a 25% discount. What is the original price of the jeans? x-0.25x=36

Step-by-step explanation:

$36. Explanation: To find the sale price we can set up a proportion. 25/100 = x/48. ... Then we subtract this discount from the original price yielding 48 – 12 = 36; thus, she ... This cost will be equal to the percent remaining after the discount.

Write a vector equation of the line that passes through p(–1 6) and is parallel to a = (3, -1).
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

(x,y) = p + t(a)

(x,y) = (-1,6) + t(3,-1)

(x,y) - (-1,6) = t(3,-1)

(x + 1, y - 6) = t(3, -1)

Answer:

7/3

1

1/2

undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

1/1 ÷ 3/7 = 7/3 because you multiply the 1st fraction by the reciprocal of the 2nd

1/1 = 1

1/2 = 1/2

1/0 = undefined;  anything divided by zero is considered to be undefined

The conversion of square feet to square yards can be represented by direct variation. Three square yards are
grandymaker [24]
<h3>The constant of variation is \frac{1}{9}</h3><h3>The equation is y=\frac{1}{9}x</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

The conversion of square feet to square yards can be represented by direct variation

Let y represent the number of square yards

Let x be the number of square feet

y \propto x

y = kx ------ eqn 1

Where, "k" is the constant of variation

Three square yards are  equivalent to 27 square feet

Substitute, y = 3 and x = 27 in eqn 1

3 = k \times 27\\\\k = \frac{3}{27}\\\\k = \frac{1}{9}

Thus the constant of variation is \frac{1}{9}

<em><u>What is the equation representing the direct variation?</u></em>

Substitute k = 1/9 in eqn 1

y = \frac{1}{9}x

Thus the equation is found
