Mathematics

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

a water tank holds 24,000 gallons how many hours will it take for two thirds of the water to be used if the water is used at an
melomori [17]
In this question there are several important information's worth noting.Based on these information's the answer can be easily found. It is given that the total capacity of the tank is 24000 gallons. in 24 hours or in 1 day the amount of water used is 650 gallons. The question requires us to find the time it will take to use 2/3 rd of the water in the tank.
then
2/3 rd water in respect to total water in tank = (2/3) * 24000
                                                                       = 16000
So 2/3 rd water of full tank is equivalent to 16000 gallons.
Now
650 gallons of water is used in = 24 hours
So
16000 gallons of water will be used in = (24/650) * 16000
                                                             = 590.77 hours
So it will take 590.77 hours to consume 2/3rd of the total water present in the tank.

A theatre has the capacity to seat people across two levels, the Circle and
andriy [413]

Answer: 76.19\%

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is: " A theatre has the capacity to seat people across two levels, the Circle, and the stalls. The ratio of the number of seats in the circle to a number of seats in the stalls is 2:5. Last Friday, the audience occupied all the 528 seats in the circle and \frac{2}{3} of the seats in the stalls. What is the percentage of occupancy of the theatre last Friday?"</h3>

Let be "s" the total number of seats in the Stalls.

The problem says that the ratio of the number of seats in the Circle to the number of seats in the Stalls is 2:5.

Since the number of seats that were occupied last Friday was 528 seats, we can set up the following proportion:

\frac{2}{5}=\frac{528}{s}

Solving for "s", we get:

s*\frac{2}{5}=528\\\\s=528*\frac{5}{2}\\\\s=1,320

So the sum of the number of seats in the Circle and the number of seats in the Stalls, is:

Total=1,320\ seats+528\ seats=1,848\ seats

 We know that \frac{2}{3} of the seats in the Stalls were occupied. Then, the number of seat in the Stalls that were occupied is:

(1,320)(\frac{2}{3})=880

Therefore, the total number of seats that were occupied las Friday is:

Total\ occupied=880\ seats+528\ seats=1,408\ seats

Knowing this, we can set up the following proportion, where "p" is the the percentage of occupancy of the theatre last Friday:

\frac{100}{1,848}=\frac{p}{1,408}

Solving for "p", we get:

(1,408)(\frac{100}{1,848})=p\\\\p=76.19\%
