Answer:

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the original price of the gift

(10% of x) is the value of the discount

(10% of x) = 10/100 . x = 0.1 x

0.1 x    is the value of the discount

x - (10% of x) is what was paid, after the discount

x - 0.1 x = 0.9 x

0.9 x    is what was paid

4 children paid $9/each

4 times $9 = $36

$36 is the total amount that was paid by the children

$36 = 0.9 x

$36 / 0.9 = x

x = $36 / 0.9 = 360 / 9

x = 40

A car's speedometer has a percent error of 5%. The speedometer currently shows that the car is traveling at a speed of 60 mph.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The actual speed of the car is either 57 mph or 63 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The measured speed o the car = 60 mph

The percentage error in speedometer = 5 %

Let The actual speed of car = x mph

Now, percentage error = \dfrac{\textrm actual value - \textrm measured value}{\textrm measured value} × 100

So, \frac{5}{100} = \frac{x - 60}{60}

or,  \frac{5}{100} × 60 = x - 60

Or, 3 = x - 60

∴  x = 63 mph

Hence The actual speed of the car is either 57 mph or 63 mph . Answer

9 games

You can get this by multiplying each percentage by the total number of games to see what they have to expect.

.55*180 = 99 games (red team)

.60*180 = 108 games (blue team)

Now subtract the blue team expectation from the red team.

108 - 99 = 9 games.

In the diagram AB=AD and
hammer [34]

Answer:

AC ≅ AE

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the SAS congruence theorem, if two triangles have 2 corresponding sides that are equal, and also have one included corresponding angle that are equal to each other in both triangles, both triangles are regarded as congruent.

Given ∆ABC and ∆ADC in the question above, we are told that segment AB ≅ AD, and also <BAC ≅ <DAC, the additional information that is necessary to prove that ∆ABC and ∆ADC are congruent, according to the SAS theorem, is segment AC ≅ segment AE.

This will satisfy the requirements of the SAS theorem for considering 2 triangles to be equal or congruent.
