A radio is on sale for $50. If the price represents a 10% discount from the original price, what is the original price to the ne

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

Six teachers and 12 students volunteer for a committee to discuss extra-curricular activities. How many committees of 5 people c
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

a)X=3300

b)Y=7770

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Number Teachers T=6

Number Student S=12

Number in committee n=5

a) Generally the equation for exactly 3 students on the committee is mathematically given by

X=^{S}C_3*^{T}C_3

X=^{12}C_3*^{6}C_3

X=3300

b) Generally the equation for at least one teacher and at least one student on the committee is mathematically given by

Total Ways-(no of ways of selection no teacher or student)

Where total Ways

T=^{(6+12)}C_5

T=8568

Therefore

Y=8568-^{6}C_0*^{12}C_5+^{12}C_0*^{6}C_5

Y=8568-798

Y=7770

The tax on the basket of watermelons is given by

\frac{9\%}{100\%} \times\$9=0.09\times\$9 \\  \\ =\$0.81

Therefore, the total price Tiffany pays for the basket of watermelons is $9 + $0.81 = $9.81

Pedro cut a sheet of poster board into 10 equal parts. His brother used some of the poster board and now 8/10 is left. Pedro wan
yawa3891 [41]

Answer: 8


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Pedro cut a sheet of poster board into 10 equal parts.

let x be the total sheet.

then, one part of sheet= \frac{1}{10} of the sheet

Now, His brother used some of the poster board and now 8/10 is left.

Therefore, if Pedro wants to make a sign from  each remaining part of the poster board.

then, The number of signs he can make= \frac{8}{10}\div \frac{1}{10}=\frac{8}{10}\times\frac{10}{1}=8

Hence, Pedro can make 8 signs.
