We can make an equation that would help this. X will be the discount rate.
4x=3.60
Now, we need to solve the equation to find what X is.
Let's divide each side by 4.
x=.9
So, we know that the item was sold for 90% of what it was before, meaning that it has a 10% discount.
Step-by-step explanation:
1\5 ÷3/7=7/15
3/7 multiply by 7/15=1/5
Here is my process for solving this.
First I drew arrows that indicated I was moving the whole triangle 5 units to the left.
*Look at first attachment*
Then I drew another triangle using those new points. (The new triangle is in pink)
*Look at second attachment*
Then I drew arrows that moved this new triangle 4 units up. (The new arrows are in pink)
*Look at third attachment*
Then I drew the new triangle in blue using the new points.
*Look at fourth attachment*
Then I mirrored / reflected the triangle over the x axis (the horizontal line) In green.
*Look at fifth attachment*
The fifth attachment in green is the final product! Hope that helps.
Answer:
Blank 1: 40
Blank 2: 10
Step-by-step explanation:
You can start by representing the speed of the water as x and the speed of the dolphin as y, and writing an equation.
y+x=50
y-x=30
Adding these two equations together, you get:
2y=80
y=40 for the speed of the dolphin in still water. Now, you an use one of the previous equations to find the speed of the current.
40-x=30
x=10
Hope this helps!
