Let the original cost of laptop=x
Savings=20% = 20/100
Saved amount = $140
Original cost = saved amount * 1/savings
x = 140* 100/20
x = $7000

One kind of hard candy sells for $.89 per kilogram another sells for $1.10 per kilogram how many kilograms of each kind a need t

Furkat [3]

Answer:

20kg of $0.89 candy

10kg of $1.10 candy

Step-by-step explanation:

Candy 1 = 0.89 per kg

Candy 2 = 1.10 per kg

Total kilogram, kg = 30

Let candy 1 = x ; candy 2 = (30 - x) ;

0.89x + 1.10(30 - x) = 0.96(30)

0.89x + 33 - 1.10x = 28.8

0.89x - 1.10x = 28.8 - 33

-0.21x = - 4.2

x = 4.2 / 0.21

x = 20

20kg of $0.89 candy

(30 - x) = (30 - 20) = 10kg

10kg of $1.10 candy

Jim is trying to improve his speed on the track so he can qualify for the State Championships. As he is running, he goes from 70

kumpel [21]

Answer:

His acceleration is $\frac{1}{15}$ meters per seconds²

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of the speed

The formula of acceleration is $a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}$ , where

$v_{f}$ is the final speed
$v_{i}$ is the initial speed
The unit of the acceleration is meters/second²

∵ Jim goes from 70 meters/minute (beginning speed) to

106 meters/minute (final speed) in 9 seconds

∴ His initial speed $v_{i}$ = 70 meters/minute

- Change it the meter per second

∵ 1 minute = 60 seconds

∴ $\frac{70}{(1)(60)}=\frac{70}{60}=\frac{7}{6}$ meters/second

∴ $v_{i}$ = $\frac{7}{6}$ meters/second

∵ His final speed $v_{f}$ = 106 meters/minute

- Change it the meter per second

∴ $\frac{106}{(1)(60)}=\frac{106}{60}=\frac{53}{30}$ meters/second

∴ $v_{f}$ = $\frac{53}{30}$ meters/second

∵ The time of the change of his speed is 9 seconds

∴ t = 9

∵ The formula of acceleration is $a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}$

- Substitute the values of t, $v_{i}$ and $v_{f}$ in the formula above

∴ $a=\frac{\frac{53}{30}-\frac{7}{6}}{9}=\frac{1}{15}$

∴ His acceleration is $\frac{1}{15}$ meters per seconds²
