Answer:

a. So the electric guitar is sold for a sale price of $315 after the discount. The discount was 30%. Even though we get that amount off, we still pay 70% of the original price, because 100% (original price) - 30% is 70%.

b. An equation that can help us find the regular price of the item is through writing and solving a proportion. Set it up like this:

315/x = 70/100

This is because 315 is part of the whole and is 70% of the value of x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay. Let's solve this by cross multiplying the values. 315 * 100 is 31,500. 70 * x is 70x. That simplifies to 31,500 = 70x. Didivde each side by 70 to isolate the x. 70x/70 cancels out. 31,500/70 is 450. Let's check this by multiply the number by 70% and see what happens. 450 * 70% (0.7) is 315. There. x = 450. The regular price was $450.

Answer:

a. $450

b. $135

c. 70%

Step-by-step:

\frac{70}{100}  = \frac{315}{450}  since these two fractions are equal to each other that means the orginal price is $450.

(sale price/original price)x100= % of original price

(315/450)x100=0.7=70%

Chapman’s brickyard sells bricks and blocks. A brick costs $0.38 and a block costs $1.56. The brickyard filled a $24.80 order, w
Lisa [10]

Answer:

number of bricks = 16 and number of blocks  = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

From given information it seems , we need to determine number of bricks and number of blocks.

lets assume number of bricks = x

and number of blocks = y

since total items in brickyard is 28

⇒  number of bricks + number of blocks = 28

⇒ x + y = 28         ----------------------- equation 1

Given that cost of 1 brick = $0.38  and cost of 1 block =$1.56

so cost of x bricks = cost of 1 brick × x = 0.38x

And cost of y blocks = cost of 1 block × y = 1.56y

total cost of 28 items order = $24.80

total cost of 28 items = cost of x bricks + cost of y blocks

⇒0.38x + 1.56y = 24.80 ----------------equation 2

Now we are having following two equations

x + y = 28         ----------------------- equation 1

0.38x + 1.56y = 24.80 ----------------equation 2

from equation 1 we get x = 28 - y , substituting this value of x in equation 2 we get

0.38(28 - y) + 1.56y =  24.80

⇒10.64-0.38y+1.56y= 24.80

⇒1.18y = 24.80 - 10.64

⇒y = 14.16÷1.18 = 12

substituting value of y in equation 1 we get

x + 12 = 28

⇒x = 16

hence  number of bricks = x  = 16 and number of blocks = y = 12

A worker is handling the four of a rectangle room that is 12 feet by 15 feet.The tiles are square with side lengths 1 1/3 feet.
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of the floor of the rectangular room that is 12 feet by 15 feet. The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

Area of the rectangular room would be

12 × 15 = 180 feet²

The tiles are square with side lengths 1 1/3 feet. Converting 1 1/3 feet to improper fraction, it becomes 4/3 feet

Area if each tile is

4/3 × 4/3 = 16/9 ft²

The number of tiles needed to cover the entire floor is

180/(16/9) = 180 × 9/16

= 101.25

102 tiles would be needed because the tiles must be whole numbers.
