Answer:

3800

Step-by-step explanation:

Variables:

O - Original cost

N - New cost

c - change factor

Step 1:

Recognize that if something decreases by 19%, it is worth 19% less

This means that the new price, fractionally, is 100% - 19% = 81%

So we can use c as 0.81 (81/100)

Step 2:

Write an equation to represent what is happening

N = O * c

Step 3:

Sub in what we know

3078 = O * 0.81

Step 4:

Rearange and solve

O = 3078 / 0.81 = 3800

A student's grade for the four quarters are 95, 83, 91, and 85. What does the student need to earn on the final exam to have an

Answer:

The least score the student can get is 71 to get an overall B average at the end of the year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the score she needs to get be = x

We now have to take the mean of all the five subjects (including x) and equate it to the least score she can have to get a B grade.

Let us take the least score the student needs to get a B grade to be 85

Mean of all 5 scores =

$\frac{95+83+91+85+x}{5}=85$

$\frac{354+x}{5} =85$

$354+x = 425$

$x = 71$

The least score the student can get is 71 to get an overall B average at the end of the year.

Sonja [21]

Answer:

1.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sum of all of the data in a set = average * number of data.

Therefore, the sum of the first 10 is 1.5 * 10 = 15 meters, the sum of the second 10 is 1.48 * 10 = 14.8 meters and the sum of the last 2 is 1.6 * 2 = 3.2 meters for a total of 15 + 14.8 + 3.2 = 33 meters. This means that the mean is 33 / 22 = 1.5 meters.
