The percent of the original price, the new price is given as 86.9%

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, In August, Ralph bought a new set of golf clubs that cost $565.  

The cost of the clubs was marked up to $650 in October.  

We have to find which proportion can be used to find what percent of the original price the new price is, if p represents the unknown percent?

The formula is normally partial/whole equals to percentage/100.  In this case $565 is partial because the price increased.  

So it will be,

\frac{565}{650}=\frac{p}{100}

\begin{array}{l}{565 \times 100=p \times 650} \\\\ {650 p=56500} \\\\ {p=\frac{56500}{650}=86.9230}\end{array}

Whenever you get results like these, you just need to round to the nearest hundredths place, which is 86.9%.

Hence, the percentage is 86.9%

An ostrich can run 6 mph faster than a giraffe. An ostrich can run 7 miles in the same time that a giraffe can run 6 miles. Find
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

NOTE THIS IS AN EXAMPLE:

Let t = time, s = ostrich, and g = giraffe.

Here's what we know:

s = g + 5 (an ostrich is 5 mph faster than a giraffe)

st = 7 (in a certain amount of time, an ostrich runs 7 miles)

gt = 6 (in the same time, a giraffe runs 6 miles)

 

We have a value for s, so plug it into the first equation:

(g + 5)t = 7

gt = 6

 

Isolate g so that we can plug that variable value into the equation:

g = 6/t

so that gives us:

(6/t + 5)t = 7

Distribute:

6 + 5t = 7

Subtract 6:

5t = 1

Divide by 5:

t = 1/5 of an hour (or 12 minutes)

 

Now that we have a value for time, we can plug them into our equations:

1/5 g = 6

multiply by 5:

g = 30 mph

 

s = 30 + 5

s = 35 mph

 

Check by imputing into the second equation:

st = 7

35 * 1/5 = 7

7 = 7

If CX = 5 units, then DZ = ___ units
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

DZ=4\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If CD is parallel to XZ

then

Triangle XYZ is similar to Triangle YCD

therefore

The ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

\frac{XY}{CY}=\frac{ZY}{YD}

we have

CX=5\ units, CY=25\ units, YD=20\ units,

XY=CX+CY

XY=5+25=30\ units

ZY=YD+DZ

ZY=20+DZ

substitute the values

\frac{30}{25}=\frac{20+DZ}{20}

20\frac{30}{25}={20+DZ}

24={20+DZ}

DZ=4\ units

Dominik [7]

Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total population=15,000

kantipur=9000

gorkhapatra= 7500

Both magazine=40%

n(k intersection g)=40% of 15,000

=0.4*15,000

=6,000

n(k) =9000

n(g)=7500

n(A union B)= n(k) + n(g) -n(k intersection g)

=9000+7500-6000

=10,500

Population who do no read= Total population - n(A union B)

=15000-10500

=4500

Percentage population who do not read both magazine

=4,500/15,000 * 100

=0.3 * 100

=30%

Yakvenalex [24]
 
To solve, we subtract 20x from both sides and subtract 600 from both sides:

Then, we simplify by dividing both sides by 10:
