ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

$65

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Percentage discount = 20%

Equivalent amount saved = $13

Let the original price of the product be x

To get x;

20% of x = 13

0.2x = 13

0.2x = -13

0.2 = 13

x = 13/0.2

x = $65

Hence the original price of the product is $65

Is the perimeter and area of the square always the same?

avanturin [10]

I think it would be because say you have a square and all the sides are 4. If you add all the sides you would get 16 for the perimeter. If you do 4 x 4 you would get 16 as the area. So i think they are the same but i am sometimes stupid so dont just take my word on it.
Hope this helps! :)

Alexis washes 10 1/2 windows in 3/4 hours. At this rate, how many windows can she wash in one hour?

Zepler [3.9K]

Alexis can wash a total of 14 windows in 1 hour

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Alexis washes $10\frac{1}{2}$ windows in $\frac{3}{4}$ hours

<u><em>To find: </em></u>number of windows washed in one hour

To simplify the calculations we will convert the given mixed fraction to improper fraction

$\begin{array}{l}{=10 \frac{1}{2}} \\\\ {=\frac{2 \times 10+1}{2}} \\\\ {=\frac{21}{2}=10.5}\end{array}$

Hence, to wash 10.5 windows, Alexis takes 0.75 hours

Let "n" be the number of windows washed in 1 hour

10.5 windows ⇒ 0.75 hours

"n" windows ⇒ 1 hour

By cross-multiplication we get,

$n \times 0.75 = 10.5 \times 1$

$n = \frac{10.5}{0.75} \\\\n = 14$

Thus Alexis can wash 14 windows in one hour

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: 3.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Triangle is dilated by a factor of $\frac{1}{4}$ i.e. each side multiplies to 0.25.

Side E'F' becomes 0.25 times the original length

$\Rightarrow E'F'=\dfrac{1}{4}\times 12.5=3.125$
