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.

On an exam with μ = 52, you have a score of X = 56. Which of the following values for the standard deviation would give you the
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

​σ = 2 (option a)

Step-by-step explanation:

You would want the smallest standard deviation possible.

Think of it like this: if everyone, other than you, got only 50, 51, 52, 53 then you would be the ultimate highest position in the class.

As opposed to being an average position if the scores were about                      49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60 ---your score would not put you in the highest position in the class distribution.

So, a standard deviation of ​σ = 2 would give you the highest position in the class distribution.

-10 = y/11 - 13<br><br> solve for y
Flauer [41]

Answer:

10=y/11-13

We move all terms to the left:

-10-(y/11-13)=0

-y/11+13-10=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator

-y+13*11-10*11=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1y+33=0

We move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right

-y=-33

y=-33/-1

y=+33
