Answer:

The original price was $2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The muffin is on sale for 5% off. This means it is being sold for 95% of its original price.

Its sale price is $1.90. This means that 95% of its original price is 1.90.

Let's set up an equation.

95% of original price is $1.90.

0.95 • x = 1.90

Divide both sides by 0.95 to isolate x.

x = 2

The original price was $2.

Hope this helps!

Answer: $2.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to do this here is just use quick calculation.

5% of 1 is 0.05. 5% of 2 would be double that, or 0.1.

2.00 - 0.10 is 1.90.

A team is excavating an archeological site. The original plan was to excavate a rectangular area 35 ft long

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Part 1) The length of the new rectangle is $87.5\ ft$

Part 2) The area of the new rectangle is $4,375\ ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two rectangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

step 1

Find the length of the new rectangle

Let

L-----> the length of the new rectangle

$\frac{50}{20}=\frac{L}{35}\\ \\ L=50*35/20\\ \\L=87.5\ ft$

step 2

Find the area of the new rectangle

we know that

The area of the rectangle is

$A=LW$

we have

$L=87.5\ ft$

$W=50\ ft$

substitute

$A=(87.5)(50)=4,375\ ft^{2}$

you are selling pandesal to raise money for a school field trip. Pandesal with cheese cost 8.00 pesos and ube pandesal cost 9.00

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Let's define:

C = number of pandesal with cheese that you sell

U = number of pandesal with ube that you sell.

If you sell these numbers of each, the total profit you get is:

C*8.00 pesos + U*9.00 pesos.

And yo want to get at least 180 pesos, then:

C*8.00 pesos + U*9.00 pesos ≥ 180 pesos.

And you also want to sell two of each, then:

C ≥ 2

U ≥2

So the system of inequalities is:

C*8.00 pesos + U*9.00 pesos ≥ 180 pesos.

C ≥ 2

U ≥2

If U is on the x-axis, and C is on the y-axis, then the graph is: (where the region at the right of the vertical line should be shaded)

Becky put $100 into in the account to use for school expenses. The account earns 11% interest, compounded annually. How much wil

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: $187 will be in the account after 6 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = $100

r = 11% = 11/100 = 0.11

n = 1 because it was compounded once in a year.

t = 6 years

Therefore,.

A = 100(1 + 0.11/1)^1 × 6

A = 100(1 + 0.11)^6

A = 100(1.11)^6

A = $187
