Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution to this problem can be found by adding the fractions together. However, in order to add fractions, they must have the same denominator. To find the lowest common denominator, look for the least common multiple of the two numbers:
6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36
9: 9, 18, 27
Using '18' as the common denominator:
Answer:
a.) $10.50
b.) $45.00
c.) about 66.67%
Step-by-step explanation:
a.) regular price = 15.00
discount = 30% or 0.3
15 x 0.3 = 4.50 ----------> this is the amount that you will have off
15.00 - 4.50 ---------> by subtracting from original price, you have sale price
= $10.50
b.) bought price = 25.00
marked up = 80% or 0.8
25.00 x 0.8 = 20 -------> this will give you 80% of 25
25.00 + 20.00 ------> she sells for 80% higher, so add the numbers
= $45.00
c.) original price = 36.00
bought price = 36.00 - 12.00
= 24
24 / 36 -----> divide bought price by original to find what percentage it is
= .66666 which is rewritten as 66.667%
you can check this by multiplying that percentage by the original price
hopefully this helps a little bit
Answer:
(x, y) = (4, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
It looks like you want to solve ...
Adding the two equations gives ...
2x = 8
x = 4 . . . . divide by 2
Then ...
y = 4 - x = 0
The solution is (x, y) = (4, 0).
_____
If you think about what you're seeing when you read the equations, you realize that adding or subtracting y gives the same result. Hence y=0 and x=4.
Change 5/3 to 15/9. Then add 15 + 17 and put it over 9. 32/9
Let the length and width of the square board be x cm, when 4 cm are cut of from the corner, the dimensions of the box will be:'
length=(x-8) cm
width=(x-8) cm
height=x cm
thus the volume will be:
4(x-8)(x-8)=144
4(x^2-16x+64)=144
this can be written into:
x^2-16x^2+64=36
solving the above gives us:
x=2 or x=14
when x=2, the dimensions will be negative. Thus we take x=14 cm, the original dimensions are 14 cm by 14 cm
