A bike is on sale for $135. It has been marked down 20%. What was the original price of the bike?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

$168.75

Step-by-step explanation:

if it's narked down by 20% then $135 is 80% of the original price

80 = 135

100 = x

80x = 100×135

x = $168.75

Answer 2
Answer:

A bike is on sale for $135. The original price of bike is 135

Solution:

Given that bike is on sale for $ 135

The mark down price is 20 %

We need to find the original price of the bike

Hence we can say that,

Selling price of bike = 135

Mark down price = 20%

Original price of bike = ?

The cost price is given as:

Original price = selling price * (100)/(100 - markup percentage)

By substituting the values we get,

original price = 135 * (100)/(100-20)\n\n= 135 * (100)/(80)\n\n= 168.75

Hence the original price of bike is $ 168.75

A plumber charges $50 to visit a house plus $40 for every hour of work. Define a variable and write an expression to represent the total cost of hiring a plumber

Answers

The expression for the total cost of hiring a plumber will be equal to $50 + $40(h).

What is an expression?

Mathematical actions are called expressions if they have at least two terms that are related by an operator and include either numbers, variables, or both. Adding, subtraction, multiplying, and division are all reflection coefficient operations. A mathematical operation such as reduction, addition, multiplication, or division is used to integrate terms into an expression.

As per the given statement in the question,

The charge for a plumber to visit the house = $50

The additional charge per hour =  $40

The expression for t hours will be,

A = $50 + $40(h),

Here, A is the total amount and h is the number of hours the plumber is working.

Three friends fill bags with trash at a neighborhood cleanup. Randall's bag weighs 3x-7 pounds, Seth's bag weighs 2x - 10 pounds, and joanna's bag weighs 2x+2 pounds. Together, Randall's and Joanna's bags weigh 3 times as much as Seth's bag. How many pounds of trash does each friend pick up?

Answers

Final answer:

To solve this problem, set up an equation using the given weights and solve for 'x' to find the weights of each friend's bag.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to set up an equation based on the given information.

First, let's express the weights of Randall's, Seth's, and Joanna's bags in terms of 'x':

  • Randall's bag: 3x - 7 pounds
  • Seth's bag: 2x - 10 pounds
  • Joanna's bag: 2x + 2 pounds

According to the problem, Randall's and Joanna's bags together weigh 3 times as much as Seth's bag. Mathematically, this can be written as:

(3x - 7) + (2x + 2) = 3(2x - 10)

Solving this equation will give us the value of 'x', which we can then use to find the weights of each friend's bag.

Answer:

Randall=68 pounds, Seth's=40, Joanna's=52

Step-by-step explanation:

Randall's = 3x-7

Seth's = 2x-10

Joanna's = 2x+2

Randall's + Joanna's = 3 (Seth's)

Find X:

  1. Form into an equation (add parentheses)
  2. (3x-7) + (2x+2) = 3 (2x-10)
  3. REmove parentheses on left side
  4. 3x-7+2x+2 = 3 (2x-10)
  5. Distribute right side
  6. = 6x-30
  7. 3x-7+2x+2 = 6x-30
  8. Combine like terms
  9. 5x-5=6x-30
  10. subtract 5x from BOTH sides (always subtract, add, multiply, and divide both sides at the same time)
  11. -5=x-30
  12. Add 30 to BOTH sides
  13. 25=x

Find how many pounds of trash each friend picked up:

Randall's:

  1. 3x-7
  2. plug in x  
  3. 3(25)-7
  4. Distribute
  5. 75-7
  6. = 68

Seth's:

  1. 2x-10
  2. 2(25)-10
  3. 50-10
  4. = 40

Joanna's:

  1. 2x+2
  2. 2(25)+2
  3. 50+2
  4. =52

Double check your answers:

Randall's+Joanna's= Seth's(3)

68+52=40(3)

120=120

Answers

prime factors of 42:    2x7x3
prime factors of 126:  2x3x3x7
prime factors of 210:  7x3x5x2
now we multiply all the factors that they all have in common: 2x3x7 which is 42. So the highest common factor is 42

Critical Thinking If a vertex of a square moved from (11, 9) to (6, 4), which of the following describes the translation? C 5 right, 5 up A 5 left, 5 up B 5 left, 5 down D 5 right, 5 down

Answers

The answer would be B, 5 left, 5 down. The reason behind this is that x coordinates increase as you move to the right and decrease as you move to the left. The same is true with y coordinates and up and down respectively. 

So if the vertex moved from x=11 to x=6, then the x coordinate decreased, so it moved to the left by 5 (11 - 6 = 5).

Also if the vertex moved from y=9 to y=4, then the y coordinate also decreased, so it moved downward by 5 (9 - 4 = 5).
