Answer:

12, 1260

Step-by-step explanation:

Andrew paid $10 for a burger. The burger had a discount of 20%. This means that the $10 is 80% of the original price.

100% - 80% = 20%

To find the original price, you can multiply by 120%

10 * 120% = 12

Abby Matthews needs to mark up a refrigerator that costs $900 to 140% of the original price. To do this, you can directly multiply.

900 * 140% = 1260

1. (1 / 5)5 * 14 = 14 because 1/5 multplied by 5 is equal to 1. I believe this is called reciprocals.

2. 6 + 4 (19 - 5) = 6 + 4(19) - 4(5) = 6 + 76 - 20 = 62. This is called the distributive property.

3. 5 (14 - 5) + 6 (3 + 7) = 5(14) - 5(5) + 6(3) + 6(7) = 70 - 25 + 18 + 42 = 105. We also used the distributive property in this question.

Answer:

$midpoint = ( \frac{ - 4 + 6}{2} , \: \frac{ - 12 + 8}{2} ) \\ = (1, \: - 2) \\ \\ distance = \sqrt{ {( - 4 - 6)}^{2} + {(8 + 12)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{500} \\ = 22.4 \: units$

Silas had 3 times as much money as Raja. Silas spent $84 of his money to buy a birthday gift for his grandma while Raja was awar

ella [17]

Answer:

Total money they had at first $252.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the amount Silas had originally

y be the amount Raja had originally

According to given statement;

x = 3y Eqn 1

x - 84 = y + 42 Eqn 2

Putting x=3y in Eqn 2

3y - 84 = y + 42

3y - y = 42 + 84

2y = 126

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{126}{2}\\y=63$

Putting y = 63 in Eqn 1

x = 3(63)

x = 189

Total money they originally had = 189 + 63 = $252

Hence,

Total money they had at first $252.

saw5 [17]

Answer:

Alejandro went to 8 matinee shows and 4 evening shows.

Our system of equations:

x + y = 12

7x + 12y = 104

Correct statement and question:

Alejandro loves to go to the movies. He goes both at night and during the day. The cost of a matinee is 7 dollars. The cost of an evening show is 12 dollars.

Alejandro went to see a total of 12 movies and spent $ 104. How many of each type of movie did he attend? Write a system of equations.

Source:

Previous question that can be found at brainly

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Let x to represent the number of matinee shows Alejandro went to.

Let y to represent the number of evening shows Alejandro went to.

Now, let's write our system of equations:

x + y = 12

7x + 12y = 104

*********************

x = 12 - y

*********************

7 (12 - y) + 12y = 104

84 - 7y + 12y = 104

5y = 104 - 84

5y = 20

y = 20/5

y = 4 ⇒ x = 12 - 4 = 8

Alejandro went to 8 matinee shows and 4 evening shows.
