X        100%
$38      95%

(38)(100)/95=40
The original price was $40

Answer:

The original price was \$40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the original price

we know that

100\%-5\%=95\%

95\%=\frac{95}{100}=0.95

The equation that represent the situation is equal to

0.95x=38

Solve for x

Divide by 0.95 both sides

0.95x/0.95=38/0.95

x=38/0.95=\$40

Sasha solved an equation, as shown below: Step 1: 8x = 56 Step 2: x = 56 – 8 Step 3: x = 48 Part A: Is Sasha's solution correct
bekas [8.4K]
Incorrect, she should have divided both sides by 8. The answer should be x=7. There is only 1 solution to the equation because x is raised to the first degree. It is not a polynomial equation so there won't be more than 1 answer to the equation.

The combined average weight of an okapi and a llama is 450450450 kilograms. The average weight of 333 llamas is 190190190 kilogr
Kisachek [45]
I'm going to assume that you meant 450kg for the combined weight, 190kg more and 3 Llamas. I'm pretty sure Llamas and Okapis don't weigh 450450450kg (that's 993,073,252 pounds). :)

x= Okapi weight
y= Llama weight

EQUATIONS:
There are 2 equations to be written:

1) 450kg is equal to the weight of one Okapi and one Llama

450kg= x + y

2) The weight of 3 llamas is equal to the weight of one Okapi plus 190kg.

3y=190kg + x


STEP 1:
Solve for one variable in one equation and substitute the answer in the other equation.

450kg= x + y
Subtract y from both sides
450-y =x


STEP 2:
Substitute (450-y) in second equation in place of x to solve for y.

3y=190kg + x
3y=190 + (450-y)
3y=640 -y
add y to both sides

4y=640
divide both sides by 4

y=160kg Llama weight


STEP 3:
Substitute 160kg in either equation to solve for x.

3y=190kg + x
3(160)=190 + x
480=190 + x
Subtract both sides by 190

290= x
x= 290kg Okapi weight


CHECK:
3y=190kg + x
3(160)=190 + 290
480=480

Hope this helps! :)

Find the annual rate of growth (interest rate) on an account that was worth $200 in 1975 and $415.79 in 1990
kodGreya [7K]

The percent change from one period to another is calculated from the formula:

<span><span> Where:<span>PR = Percent Rate
VPresent = Present or Future Value
VPast = Past or Present Value</span></span><span>The annual percentage growth rate is simply the percent growth divided by N, the number of years.</span>
(415.79-200)/200*100=107.89
The annual<span> percentage growth rate is simply the percent growth divided by N, the number of years.</span>
<span>
</span><span>107.89/15=7.193</span>

Below are summary statistics for the sizes (in acres) of some local vineyards. Using the summary statistics, complete parts (a)
rjkz [21]

Answer:

option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The symmetric distribution have close or approximate values of median and mean. In the given scenario mean is 48.5 and median is 33. We can see that the both values significantly differs. Also, given mean is greater than median(48.5>33) . Thus, the distribution is positively skewed and not symmetrical.

Hence, the distribution is skewed because mean and median significantly differ from each other.

If 2x + 5 = 8x, then 12x = ?
satela [25.4K]
X= 10

~because~

2x+5=8x, subtract 2x from both sides:

5=6x, divide 6 on both sides:

x=5/6, then rewrite the equation:

12(5/6)

x=10
