Mark brainliest please

Answer is : Price before increase is £250

Explaination:

Let the Original price of a ring = x

Increase price( g) = 30%
New price(n) = £325

x = ( 100*n)/ (100+g)
x= (100*325)/(100+30)
x= (200*325)/130
x= 250

Therefore price before increase is £250

Another method:

Given that after 30% increases,
the cost of the ring is £325 so we can assume that 130% (100+30) is £325.

Now, we have to form an expression in term of x where x represents the original cost :

130/100*x=325

Solving x

x= 250

So the original price or price before the increase is £250

What are the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = 6x2 + 12x – 7?

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

A quadratic equation is of the form: $ax^2+bx+c= 0$ .....[1] where

a. b and c are coefficient and x is the variable.

The solutions of the equation are;

$x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Given the function: $f(x) = 6x^2+12x-7$

To find the zero of this function.

Set f(x) = 0

⇒ $6x^2+12x-7=0$

On comparing this with equation [1] we have;

a = 6, b = 12 and c = -7

then;

$x = \frac{-12\pm\sqrt{(12)^2-4(6)(-7)}}{2(6)}$

$x = \frac{-12\pm\sqrt{144+168}}{12}$

or

$x = \frac{-12\pm\sqrt{312}}{12}$

or

$x = \frac{-12\pm 2\sqrt{78}}{12}$

$x = \frac{-6\pm \sqrt{78}}{6}$

Therefore, the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) are;

$\frac{-6+\sqrt{78}}{6}$ and $\frac{-6-\sqrt{78}}{6}$

Kelly ordered 10 pizzas for a party. 30% of the pizzas have 12 slices each. The remaining 70% of the pizzas have 8 slices each.

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The total number of slices is 92

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Kelly ordered 10 pizzas for a party

step 1

30% of the pizzas have 12 slices each

so

The number of pizzas for 30% is equal to

0.30(10)=3 pizzas

The number of slices is

3(12)=36 slices

step 2

70% of the pizzas have 8 slices each

so

The number of pizzas for 70% is equal to

0.70(10)=7 pizzas

The number of slices is

7(8)=56 slices

step 3

Find the total number of slices

36+56=92 slices
