Given:
Serenity picked 75% of the apples of a tree in her backyard.
She picked 30 apples.
To find:
The number of apples on the tree in the beginning.
Solution:
Let x be the number of apples on the tree in the beginning.
Serenity picked 75% of the apples of a tree in her backyard.
Number of apples picked = 75% of x
= 
= 
She picked 30 apples.
Multiply both sides by 4.
Divide both sides by 3.
Therefore, the number of apples on the tree in the beginning is 40.
So paid160
75 percent off
100 percent=original
75 percent off=100-75=25%
160=25% of original cost
'of' means multiply
remember tha tpercent is parts out of 100 so
25%=25/100=1/4
160=1/4 times original cost
multily both sides by 4
640=original cost
answe ris $640 =original cost
Answer:
1. 38, 80, 89 and 4. 14, 15, 29
I don't know if there is supposed to be only one, but both of those do not form right triangles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Evaluate all of them and see if they meet the requirements of the Pythagorean Theorem, a² + b² = c².
1. 38, 80, 89
a² + b² = c²
38² + 80² = 89²
1444 + 6400 = 7921
7844 ≠ 7921.
This is an answer because it doesn't satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem.
2. 16, 63, 65
a² + b² = c²
16² + 63² = 65²
256 + 3969 = 4225
4225 = 4225
This isn't the answer because it satisfies the Pythagorean Theorem.
3. 36, 77, 85
a² + b² = c²
36² + 77² = 85²
1296 + 5929 = 7225
7225 = 7225
This isn't the answer because it satisfies the Pythagorean Theorem.
4. 14, 15, 29
a² + b² = c²
14² + 15² = 29²
196 + 225 = 841
421 ≠ 841
This is an answer because it does not satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem.
There are no options provided.
Anyway, this is a binomial, not trinomial.
