Alright, this is simple. You know what the new number is, 54. You know the original number was decreased by 40%. Your looking for the original number, X. So set up an equation.
x-.4x=54
When X stands by itself, it's perceived to value 1.00
1.00-.4x=54
(1.00-.4 [40%]=.6)
.6x=54
Divide both sides by .6 to eliminate everything else.
.6x/.6=54/.6
You get 90. Your original number was indeed 90.
To check it, we can do 90/40%, or 90/.4=54
~Hope this helps!
The solution to this problem can be found by taking 20% of $62.50:
0.2(62.5) = 12.5
The way the question is worded is confusing, but I think it's asking how much of a discount you would get. You would receive a $12.50 discount.
Answer:
no
Step-by-step explanation:
It does.
5x-2=0
5x=2
x=2/5
(2/5, 0)
is an x-intercept
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw segment OB.
In triangle OBC, points R and S are the midpoints of sides OC and BC, respectively. That makes RS parallel to OB.
In triangle OBA, points P and Q are the midpoints of sides OA and BA, respectively. That makes PQ parallel to OB.
Since segments RS and PQ are parallel to segment OB, then RS and PQ are parallel to each other.
1) we have to subtract by the number 18p from each of your sides
Like: 10p + 5 - 18p
= 18p -3 -180
This gives us: -8p + 5 = -3
Nextly, we have to subtract by 5 on each of your sides
Like: -8p + 5 - 5
= -3 - 5
This gives us: -8p = -8
Now we have divide by the -8 on each of your sides:
Like: -8p ÷ -8
= -8 ÷ -8
Answer: p = 1
I hope it helped you:)
