Another way to think about this is that $12590 is 80% of the original price. The original was 100%, but this price is 20% off so 100%−20%=80% . The way I like to think is that since I know 12590 is 80%, I can find how much 1% is by dividing 12590 by 80. 12590÷80=157.375.
15:24 is divisible by 3, simplifying it down to 3:8. 19:24, 7:8, and 6:8 are all obviously larger than this ratio, and 1:2 can be equalized to 4:8, which is also bigger than 3:8, so none of the answer choices are less than 15:24.
13 and 2, I think that is the only one left.
Answer:
12+# OR 12+x
Step-by-step explanation:
Increased by 12 means plus 12. The word "is" in equations is an equal sign. So far, you have 2n+12. On the other side of the equal sign, you have 31 less than 3 times a number.
I am not sure, but this is what I got:
<span>Pipe ALONE = 18 hours
Pipe ALONE in 1 hour = 1/18 of the pool
Hose ALONE in 1 hour = 1/25 of the pool
TOGETHER in 1 HOUR = 1/18 +1/25 = 43/450
TOGETHER they will fill the pool in 450/43 hours
So 5/6 of the pool will take 5/6 X 450/43 = 2250/ 258 = 8.7209302 hours OR
8 hours AND 43.26 minutes ANSWER
</span>
Hope this helps!
