Answer:
297.3
Step-by-step explanation:
30% of 429 is 128.7
429 which is the original price - 128.7 which is the price off = 297.3
Both claims are false. In fact, and are one the multiplicative inverse of the other. This means, by definition of multiplicative inverse, that
So, it doesn't matter if is positive or negative: the multiplication of one number and its inverse will always be 1: for example,
Similarly, when you multiply two number, the sign of the product depends on the sign of the factors as follows:
So, the multiplication of two negative numbers is a positive number.
50 ounces of 15% saline solution contains 0.15*50 = 7.5 ounces of salt.
Let x be the amount of pure water you add to this solution. Then you end up with (x + 50) ounces of this new solution. The amount of salt stays the same.
You want the new solution to have a concentration of 10%. This means you need
7.5 / (x + 50) = 0.1
==> 7.5 = 0.1(x + 50)
==> 7.5 = 0.1x + 5
==> 2.5 = 0.1x
==> 2.5/0.1 = 0.1x/0.1
==> x = 25
Answer:
Option A. -6.5
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
Solve for r
That means ---> isolate the variable r
Combine like terns left side of the equation
Divide by 0.5 both sides
All socks together: 13
Black socks: 3
Probability to pick out black socks: 3/13
After one pick out (You picked out a pair of black socks):
Probability to pick out black socks: 2/12
Multiply them:
2/12 * 3/13 = 1/26 ≈ 0,038
