Answer:

26.12

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price plus the markup equals the new price

The markup is equal to the original price times 25%

original price + original price * 25% = new price

Factor out the original price

original price (1+25%) = new price

Changing to decimal form

original price (1+.25) = new price

original price (1.25) = new price

Divide each side by 1.25

original price (1.25)/1.25 = new price/1.25

original price = new price/1.25

The new price is 32.65

original price = 32.65/1.25

original price =26.12

Alexandra [31]

The first thing we must do for this case is to define a variable:
x: number of years
y: total salary
We have then:
For first company:
y = 1500x + 31000
For second company:
y = 2000x + 28500
Equaling both equations we have:
1500x + 31000 = 2000x + 28500
Clearing x:
2000x - 1500x = 31000 - 28500
500x = 2500
x = 2500/500
x = 5
Answer:
It will take for the salaries to be the same about:
x = 5 years

A fabric store sells two types of ribbon. One customer buys 3 rolls of the lace ribbon and 2 rolls of the satin ribbon and has a

stepan [7]

<span>Let L be the number of yards on a roll of lace ribbon. Let S be the number of yards on a roll of satin ribbon. We can set up two equations. equation 1: 3L + 2S = 120 yards equation 2: 2L + 4S = 160 yards We can multiply (equation 1) by 2 and subtract (equation 2). equation 1: 6L + 4S = 240 yards equation 2: 2L + 4S = 160 yards 4L = 80 yards L = 20 yards equation 1: 3L + 2S = 120 yards 3(20 yards) + 2S = 120 yards 2S = 60 yards S = 30 yards There are 20 yards on a roll of lace ribbon. There are 30 yards on a roll of satin ribbon.</span>

A small ferryboat is 4.00 m wide and 6.00 m long. When a loaded truck pulls onto it, the boat sinks an additional 4.00 cm into t

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

$F_w=9408\ N$

Weight of the truck=9408 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Boat is experiencing the buoyant force as it is in the water and is sinking

According to the force balance in y direction. As both is floating, two forces balance each other:

$F_b-F_w=0$

where:

$F_b$ is the buoyant force

$F_w$ is the weight=mg

$F_b=F_w$ Eq (1)

Buoyant force is equal to the mass of water displaced * gravitational acceleration.

$F_b=m_{water\ displaced}*g\\F_b=\rho Vg\\$

Taking density of water to be 1000 Kg/m^3

$F_b=1000*(6*4*4*10^{-2})*9.8\\F_b=9408 N$

From Eq(1):

$F_w=9408\ N$

Weight of the truck=9408 N
