Answer:
<em>The washing machine cost $600 before tax</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Percentages
</u>
The washing machine cost $651 including a tax of 8.5%.
If x was the cost of the washing machine before tax, then the tax was:
x*8.5/100 = 0.085x
It was added to the original price:
x + 0.085x = 1.085x
That is the final price, thus
1.085x=$651
Solving:
x = $651/1.085
x = $600
The washing machine cost $600 before tax
Answer: the small bottle holds 15 ounces while the large bottle holds 23 ounces.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of ounces that a small bottle holds.
Let y represent the number of ounces that a large bottle holds.
He drank 2 small bottles and 2 large bottles, for a total of 76 ounces. It means that
2x + 2y = 76 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1
The day before, he drank 4 small bottles and 1 large bottle, for a total of 83 ounces. This means that
4x + y = 83 - - - - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 1, it becomes
4x + 4y = 152
4x + y = 83
Subtracting, it becomes
3y = 69
y = 69/3 = 23 ounces
Substituting y = 23 into equation 1, it becomes
2x + 2 × 23 = 76
2x + 46 = 76
2x = 76 - 46 = 30
x = 30/2 = 15 ounces
In this case 'g' would be 5 - 7f
Answer: Both plants grow at same rate ie., 4/3 cm per day
Step-by-step explanation:
8 cm = 6 days
1 day = 1/6 x 8 = 4/3 cm
12 cm = 9 days
1 day = 1/9 x 12 = 4/3 cm
