You got 2 types of data $ and %!
Line them up accordingly and cross multiply.

16% is to $38 as
100% is to $x

X= 38•100/16= $237.5 the price before discount

Answer:  The price of the supplies before the discount is $237.5.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a discount of 16% saved Jackie $38 on office supplies.

We are to find the price of the supplies before the discount.

Let $x be the price of the supplies before the discount.

Then, according to the given information, we have

16\%\times x=38\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{16}{100}\times x=38\\\\\Rightarrow 16x=3800\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{3800}{16}\\\\\Rightarrow x=237.5.

Thus, the price of the supplies before the discount is $237.5.

If 36 is is the dividend and 4 is the divisor then what is the quotient
max2010maxim [7]
Given:
36 is the dividend
4 is the divisor
Since, 4 is the divisor, you are going to want to see how many times 4 can fit into 36 evenly:
4*1=4, 4*2=8, 4*3=12, 4*4=16, 4*5=20, 4*6=24, 4*7=28, 4*9= 36
As you can see above, 4 goes into 36, 9 times evenly:
36/4 = 9
Quotient: 9

I hope this helps!

sweet [91]

We use the z statistic:

z = (x – u) / s

 

But first let us calculate the standard deviation s, sample x and mean u.

s = sqrt (n p q)

s = sqrt (112 * 0.77 * (1 – 0.77))

s = 4.45

 

x = 0.81 * 112 = 90.72

 

u = 0.77 * 112 = 86.24

 

So the z score is:

z = (90.72 – 86.24) / 4.45

z = 1.00

 

From the standard tables, the P value at z = 1.00 using right tailed test is:

<span>P = 0.1587 = 15.87%</span>

Find the missing term. () + (7 − 3i) + (5 + 9i) + 13i = 10 − 5i.
kotegsom [21]
X + (7 - 3i) + (5 + 9i) + 13i = 10 - 5i

Subtract 13i from both sides

x + (7 -3i) + (5 + 9i) = 10 - 18i

Subtract (5 + 9i). MAKE SURE YOU SUBTRACT 9i TOO. In other words, distribute the negative and subtract 5 and 9i at the same time.

x + (7 - 3i) = 5 - 27i

Do the same with (7 - 3i). You'll be adding 3i since -(-3i) = 3i.

x = -2 - 24i

NISA [10]
<span>The answer is: the least amount is 105.35 and the greatest amount is 105.44. If the number after the one you want to round is 5 or bigger, you need to round up the number. For instance, 105.35 is rounded to 105.4 which is equal to 105.40. If the number after the one you want to round is smaller than 5, you need to round down the number. For instance, 105.44 is rounded to 105.4 which is equal to 105.40.</span>
