Answer: 117.5 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : It takes you 47 seconds to walk from the first (ground) floor of a building to the third floor.
Since from first floor to third , a person need to pass two levels of staircase.
We assume that the person walk at the same pace and the height of all floors are same.
The time taken to pass each level = (Time taken to pass 2 levels) ÷ 2
= (47 seconds) ÷ (2) = 23.5 seconds
Also, the from first floor to sixth floor , a person need to pass 5 levels of staircase.
Then, the time taken to pass each level = 5 x (Time taken to pass one level)
= 5 x 23.5 =117.5 seconds
Hence, it will take 117.5 seconds to walk from the first floor to the sixth floor.
Let's first turn all the words into numbers:
Two and four tenths = 2.4
One and six tenths = 1.6
Four and one tenth = 4.1
Now lets represent "a number" as x.
Then translate the wording into a linear equation:
Simplify and isolate the variable:
Divide by 0.8
x>1.375 or x>1 3/8
10% i believe :)
i hope this helps u!!
y = $185.30
x = the orignal cost minus 9% or .09. To increase an objects value by 9% you need to multiply by 1 + .09 or 1.09. So, x being increases by 9% would equal y or $185.30
1.09x = y
1.09x = $185.30
Divide both sides by 1.09
x = $170
Calculate the products
5x+6x-21x+2
Combine like terms
-10x+2
