Answer:

5.14 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average speed, we simply find the total distance traveled by Tom and divide that by the total time the entire journey took him.

Average speed = (total distance traveled) / (total time taken)

TOTAL DISTANCE TRAVELED

He traveled 3 miles to and 3 miles fro. Hence:

3 + 3 = 6 miles

TOTAL TIME TAKEN

He spent ½ hr to go and ⅔ hr to return back. Hence:

½ + ⅔ = 7/6 hr

Therefore, the average speed is:

v = 6 / (7/6)

v = 36 / 7 = 5.14 mi/h

Tom's average speed was 5.14 mi/h.

Equation to find original price if sale price of $429 is a 34% discount
Burka [1]

Answer:

The original price is $650

Step-by-step explanation:

There's an actual algebra method for this, but this is my method because I find it way easier to remember.

Since the most you can discount out of an item is 100% (well, it's considered free then) let's subtract 100 - 34, which is 66.

Now, turn it into a decimal because it makes the numbers easier- 0.66.

Since when you're finding the discount of an original price, you multiply the original price by the discount- instead for finding the original price for a discounted item we divide $429 by 0.66 instead, since when you divide a number by another number that's under 1 the quotient is a larger number.

So, 429 ÷ 0.66 = 650.

Therefore, the original price of the $429 sale price for a 34% discount is $650.
