Let, the original price of the sneakers be $x.

Given, Mr. Richard paid $3 less that half of the original price.

Half of the original price = $\frac{x}{2}

So Mr. Richard paid = $(\frac{x}{2}-3)

By buying the sneakers Mr. Richard saved = $37.

That means the subtraction of the original price and the amount Mr. Richard paid is $37.

So we can write the equation as,

x-(\frac{x}{2}-3) = 37

x-\frac{x}{2}+3 = 37

To solve it for x, first we have to move 3 to the right side by subtracting it from both sides, we will get,

x-\frac{x}{2}+3-3 = 37-3

x-\frac{x}{2}= 37-3

x-\frac{x}{2} = 34

We will subtract the left side now. To subtract fractions we will make the denominators same. Here 2 is the denominator. To make the denominator of x as 2, we will multiply the numerator and denominator of x by 2. So we can write x as \frac{2x}{2}.

\frac{2x}{2} - \frac{x}{2} = 34

\frac{(2x-x)}{2} = 34

\frac{x}{2}= 34

Now we will multiply both sides by 2 to get x.

(\frac{x}{2})(2) = (34)(2)

x = (34)(2)

x = 68

So, the original price = $68.

Mr. Richard paid = $((\frac{68}{2} -3) =$ (34-3)= $31

So we have got the required answer.

Mr. Richard paid $31 for the sneakers.

First, find what percentage of students had 3 or more by adding up your known percents:

45% + 23 % + 21% + x% = 100%
x = 11%

Since you're given that 96 students had 2 or more, you add up the percentages of 2 and 3 or more:

11 + 21 = 32%

Now set up a proportion that relates it to the whole:

\frac{96 students}{32 percent} = \frac{x students}{100 percent}

This will allow you to find the total number of students at the school.

Cross multiplying and solving for x results in 300 total students.

Question 1:
45% had one or more absences. 45% of 300 students is 135 students.

Question 2:
As we found before, 11% of students had three or more. 11% of 300 is 33 students.

A trapezoidal prism undergoes a dilation. The surface area of the pre-image is 35 m². The surface area of the image is 315 m². T
Westkost [7]

The original object is called pre-image, and its dilated version is called image. The height of the image for the considered case is 17.4 m

<h3>How does dilation affect length, area, and volume of an object?</h3>

Suppose a figure (pre image) is dilated (dilated image) by scale factor of k.

So, if a side of the figure is of length L units, and that of its similar figure is of M units, then:

<u><em>L = k × M</em></u>

where 'k' will be called as scale factor.

The linear things grow linearly like length, height etc.

The quantities which are squares or multiple of linear things twice grow by square of scale factor. Thus, we need to multiply or divide by <u><em>k²</em></u><em> </em>to get each other corresponding quantity from their similar figures' quantities.

<u><em>So </em></u><u><em>area </em></u><u><em>of </em></u><u><em>first figure </em></u><u><em>= k² × area of second figure</em></u>

Similarly,

<u><em>Volume </em></u><u><em>of first figure = k³ × volume of second figure.</em></u>

It is because we will need to multiply 3 linear quantities to get volume, which results in k getting multiplied 3 times, thus, cubed.

For this case, we're given that;

  • Surface area of pre-image = 35 m²
  • Surface area of dilated image = 315 m²
  • Height of pre-image = 5.8 m
  • Height of dilated image.

Let the scale fator of dilation be k.

Then:

<u><em>So area of pre-image = k² × area of dilated image</em></u>

Thus, we get:

35 = k^2 \times 315\\\\k = \sqrt{\dfrac{35}{315}} = 1/3

(took positive root as scaling is done by non-negative factors as only magnitude matters mostly)

Thus, we get:

Height of pre-image = (1/3) × Height of dilated image (say h)

5.8 = (1/3) \times h\\h = 3 \times 5.8 = 17.4 \rm \: m

Thus, the original object is called pre-image, and its dilated version is called image. The height of the image for the considered case is 17.4 m
