Answer:

$15.02

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Total cost= $16

tax= 6.5%

let the actual cost of the slippers be x

6.5/100*x+ x= 16

0.065x+x= 16

1.065x= 16

divide both sides by 1.065

x= 16/1.065

x= 15.02

Hence the actual cost of the slippers is $15.02

A bride and groom both invited guests to their wedding. The bride invited twice as many women as the groom did, and the groom in

n200080 [17]

Answer:

option 1) 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m and w denote the men and women respectively.

From the question, if the groom invited w number of women, then bride invited 2w number of women.

Also, if the bride invited m number of men,then the groom invited 2m.

Hence we can write the following maths equation:

w+2m=105.........1

2w+m=135.........2

We multiply eqn(1) by 2 to get eqn(3)

This implies that,

2w+4m=210.......3

We then subtract eqn (2) from eqn(3) to obtain;

3m=75

we divide through by 3

$\implies \frac{3m}{3} = 75$

$\implies m= 25$

Substituting the value of m into eqn (1)

to find the value for w

$\implies w + 50 = 105$

subtracting 50 from both sides.

$\implies w + 50 - 50= 105 - 50$

$\implies w+2(25)=105$

$\implies w= 55$

So we can say the :

bride invited 25 men and 110 women,

groom invited 50 men and 55 women.

Describe the pattern below.What are the next two numbers? 1.64,3.28

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

note that 3.28 = 2 × 1.64

This could be a geometric sequence with common ratio r = 2

To obtain the next term multiply the previous term by 2

3.28 × 2 = 6.56

6.56 × 2 = 13.12

1.64, 3.28, 6.56, 13.56 ← first 4 terms in sequence

If 3×1=34 2×3=65 6×1=67 5×4=209 then 6×3=

189.

3*1=34 --> split this into two parts. 3*1 is 3 and 3+1 is 4 so put them together and you get 34.

$\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{\boxed{\sf Answer☂}}$

Let's solve ~ ☂

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: - 0.6(m + 1) = 3$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: - (m + 1) = 3 \div 0.6$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: - (m + 1) = 5$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: - m - 1= 5$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: - m = 5 + 1$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: - m = 6$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: m = - 6$

I hope it helps ~
