The formula for this is: (sale price) / (1 - percentage)
Percentage have to be in decimal form, so divide percentage by 100 to get the decimal form.
220/(1-.20) = $275
The original price was $275.
Answer:
Kadeem will take 0.166 h more to complete the course.
Step-by-step explanation:
The speed is the rate at which the distance changes, when the speed goes up the distance changes more quickly, therefore if the distance is the same and the speed is higher the one who will take longer is the one that has less speed. In this case the one who will take longer to drive the 25 miles is Kadeem, since he's driving at 50 mph. In order to calculate how much longer we need to calculate the time at which each of them complete the course, this is shown below:
time = distance/speed
For Kadeem:
time = 25/50 = 0.5 h
For Quinn:
time = 25/75 = 0.334 h
The difference between the is 0.5 - 0.334 = 0.166 h.
1/2 + 1/5(1/2) = 1/2 + 1/10 = 5/10 + 1/10 = 6/10....this leaves 4/10 (reduces to 2/5) for his children.
(2/5) / 3 = 2/5 * 1/3 = 2/15 for each child <== A
400 in each childs account.....thats (400 * 3) = 1200 ...
2/5 of what is 1200 =
2/5x = 1200
x = 1200 * 5/2
x = 6000/2
x = 3000 <== B
check...
total pay is 3000
1/2 for bills.....- 1500
1/5(-1500) = -1500/5 = -300 ....for savings
3000 - (1500 + 300) = 3000 - 1800 = 1200...remaining for the children
1200/3 = 400 ...for each child.
so ur answers are :
A. 2/15 in each childs account
B. original paycheck = $ 3000
