Jade buys a blouse and a skirt for 34 of their original price. She pays a total of $31.50 for the two items. If the original pri

ce of the blouse is $18, what is the original price of the skirt?
Part A

Which equation represents the situation?
0.75s = 31.50
34(18s) = 31.50
0.75(s + 31.50) = 18
34(18 + s) = 31.50
Part B

Use the Distributive Property to solve the equation.
Enter your answer in the box.

Answer:

`Part A:

D. 3/4(18 + s) = 31.50

Part B:

$36

Step-by-step explanation:

I think 34 is 3/4, is that right?

here, s is the cost of the skirt

Part A: The answer would be:

3/4(18) + 3/4(s) = 31.5 =

3/4(18 + s) = 31.5

Part B: 3/4(18) + 3/4(s) = 31.5

4.5 + 3/4s = 31.5

Subtract 4.5 from both sides:

3/4s = 27, 27 is the cost of the skirt now, but we need the original price.

multiply both sides by 4/3:

s = 36

32% of a number is 64 what is the number
Serjik [45]

Answer:

If you take 32 percent of a number and get 64, then what is that number? In other words, you know that 32 percent of a number is 64 and you want to know what that initial number is. Therefore, the answer to "64 is 32 percent of what number?" is 200, and you can also derive that 32 percent of 200 equals 64.

Write an appropriate direct variation equation if y = 18 when x = 2
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

y=9x

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

In this problem we have

y=18 when x=2

Find the value of the constant of proportionality k

k=\frac{y}{x} ----> k=\frac{18}{2}=9

therefore

The equation is equal to

y=9x

A pilot flew a 400 mile flight in 2.5 hours flying into the wind. Flying the same rate and with the same wind speed the return t
eduard

Answer: 20 mph

Explanation:

Speed is a physical quantity which is equal to the ratio between the distance covered (d) and the time taken (t):

v=\frac{d}{t}

In the first part of the problem, the plane flew a distance of d=400 mi in a time of t=2.5 h. The speed of the plane in this case was the difference between the proper speed of the plane, v, and the speed of the wind, w, since the plane flew opposite to the wind. So we can write:

v-w=\frac{400mi}{2.5h}=160 mph (1)

During the return trip, the plane flew with a speed (v+w), since the wind was on the tail, and it took 2 hours to cover the same distance:

v+w=\frac{400 mi}{2 h}=200 mph (2)

So we have two equations with two unknown variables. From (1), we get

v=160+w

Substituting into eq.(2)

(160+w)+w=200\\160+2w=200\\2w=40\\w=20 mph

So, the speed of the wind was 20 mph.
