Answer:

When we have a discount of X% of the original price, the new price is calculated as:

New price = (original price) - (original price)*(X%/100%)

In our case, let's define:

P = original price of the fishing pole

f = price of the fishing pole after the discount

X% = 20%

Then the equation for the price of the fishing pole is:

f = P - P*(20%/100%) = P - P*0.2 = P*(1 - 0.2) = P*0.8

f = 0.8*P

This means that the price after the discount is 0.8 times the original price.

If your away-from-home food bill was $520 in November 2012, what was it in November 2013?

son4ous [18]

If it was the exact spending as the previous year it would be $520 but doubled would be $1,040. Since there is not enough information in the problem I can not say for certain.

For every 4 gallons of green paint he uses 3 gallons of blue paint. Drag the correct number of each type of paint into the box t

Inga [223]

Answer:

Amount of green color used =

$\dfrac{64}{7}\text{ gallons}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Every 4 gallons of green paint is mixed with 3 gallons of blue paint. to make a particular shade.

Ratio of green color to blue paint can be calculated as:

$=\dfrac{\text{Amount of green color}}{\text{Amount of blue color}}\\\\=\dfrac{4}{3}$

Amount of shade = 16

Amount of green paint = $4x$

Amount of blue paint = $3x$

Thus, we can write:

$4x + 3x = 16\\7x = 16\\\\x = \dfrac{16}{7}$

Amount of green color used =

$4x = 4\times \dfrac{16}{7} = \dfrac{64}{7}\text{ gallons}$

Amount of blue paint used =

$3x = 3\times \dfrac{16}{7} = \dfrac{48}{7}\text{ gallons}$
