Answer:

200 pounds 20% raisins

800 pounds 5% raisins

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of 5% be x

and number of 20% be y

x + y = 1000

Also;

5% of x + 20-% of y = 8% of 1000 pounds

= 0.05x + 0.2y = 80

From i , x = 1000-y

0.05(1000-y) + 0.2y = 80

50-0.05y + 0.2y = 80

0.15y = 30

y = 200

x = 1000 - y

= 1000-200 = 800

A line is perpendicular to y = {2/3x + 2/3}
Anna35 [415]

Answer: y = (-3x/2) + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

From the standard equation y = mx + c, the slope of the equation is 2/3. Therefor slope of a line perpendicular to it will be -3/2.

Hence the equation will be

y = (-3x/2) + c

As this line passes through (-2,4), putting these values in this equation gives  c = 1.

Hence the answer is y = (-3x/2) + 1

Jorge received a 3.1% increase in his pay at work. If he now makes $8.00 per hour, how much was he making before his raise? (Rou
Blababa [14]

Answer:

$7.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount he was making before the raise.

He had an increase of 3.1% of x added to x which resulted in a new salary of $8.00 per hour.

Mathematically:

(\frac{3.1}{100} * x) + x = 8\\\\0.031x + x = 8\\\\1.031x = 8\\\\=> x = 8 / 1.031

x = $7.76

He was making $7.76 before the raise.
