Answer:

Ok, so the discount is given in a percentage, in this case 10%.  The sale price is going to reflect 10% of the original price minus the discount, so...

Sale $ = original$ - original $ x .10

If we use some algebra, we can reorganize the equation to solve for the original price...

Sale $ = original$ - original $ x .10

Sale $ = original$ (1 - .10)

Sale $ = original$ x .90

original$ = sale$/.90

So now we can plug in our values

original price = 50/.90

original price = 55.55555 = $55.55 to the nearest nickel

mars1129 [50]

5.75 quarts of paint required for the project

Explanation:

Usually one quart of paint cover 100 square feet

Since, a gallon covers 250 square feet, it means that

 one gallon of paint is equal to \frac{250}{100} =2.5 quarts of paint.

Number of gallon required to paint 575 square feet,

                                                                                        =\frac{575}{250} \\=2.3 gallons

So, 2.3 gallons is equal to,

                                                =2.3*2.5\\=5.75 quarts

If y ∝ 1∕x and y = –2 when x = 14, find the equation that connects x and y.
crimeas [40]

C. y= -28/x

y=k/x

cross multiply

k= y×x

k = -2×14

k = -28

y = -28/x [ equation connecting x and y]

Sitting on a park bench, you see a swing that is 100 feet away and a slide that is 80 feet away. The angle between them is 30 de
leva [86]

We are given : Distance of the swing = 100 feet.

Distance of slide = 80 feet.

Angle between swing and slide = 30 degrees.

We need to find the distance between the swing and the slide.

Distance of swing, distance of slide and distance between the swing and the slide form a triangle.

We can apply cosine law to find the distance between the swing and the slide.

c^2 = a^2 +b^2  - 2ab cos C

c^2 = 100^2 +80^2 - 2(100)(80) cos 30°

c^2 = 10000 + 6400 -2* 8000 (\frac{\sqrt{3}} 2)}

c^2 = 16400 - 8000\sqrt{3}

c^2 = 16400 - 13856

c^2 = 2544

c =\sqrt{2544}

c= 50.44

c = 50 feet approximately.

<h3>Therefore, the approximate distance between the swing and the slide is 50 feet.</h3>

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

286

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Myra asked Annabelle to buy her some perfume while she was in France. Annabelle paid 200 euros for it. Myra wants to pay Annabelle back in U.S. dollars.

To Find:  If the foreign exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the euro is 1:0.7, how much should Myra pay Annabelle?

Solution:

Since Annabelle paid 200 euros

And Myra wants to pay Annabelle back in U.S. dollars.

Let Myra paid amount to Annabelle in U.S. dollar be x

We are also given that  the U.S. dollar and the euro is 1:0.7

⇒\frac{1}{0.7}=\frac{x}{200}

⇒\frac{1*200}{0.7}=x

⇒\frac{200}{0.7}=x

⇒285.7=x

⇒285.7≈286

Thus Myra should pay $286 to Annabelle
