On a special two day clearance sale, 3 out of 5 books on clearance were sold on the first day of the sale. If 280 books were originally for sale on clearance how many were sold on the first day of the sale?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

168 books

Step-by-step explanation:

According to problem, given data are as follows:

Total books for sale = 280 books

Sold on first day = 3 out of 5 books

So, percentage of first day sold = 3 ÷ 5 = 0.6 or 60%

So, we can calculate the total books sold on day one by using following method,

Total books sold on first day = Total books for sale × percentage sold

By putting the value, we get

= 280 books × 60%

= 168 books

what percent is 52.8 of 55? also how did u get itttt

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 96%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 55 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 100% equals 55, so we can write it down as 100%=55.

4. We know, that x% equals 52.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=52.8.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=55

2) x%=52.8

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

100%/x%=55/52.8

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 52.8 is what percent of 55

100%/x%=55/52.8

(100/x)*x=(55/52.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=1.0416666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0416666666667) to get x

100/1.0416666666667=x

96=x

x=96

now we have:

52.8 is 96% of 55

One evening, a restaurant served a total of 5/6 of a loaf of wheat bread and 3/10 of a loaf of white bread. How many loaves were served in all?

Answers

Answer:

1 2/15 loaves

Step-by-step explanation:

In a restaurant:

Total Loaf of wheat bread = 5/6

Total Loaf is white bread = 3/10

The total number of loaves that were served in all =

Loaf of wheat bread + Loaf of white bread

= 5/6 + 3/10

Lowest Common Denominator = 30.

Hence:

= 25 + 9/30

= 34/30

= 1 4/30

= 1 2/15 loaves

The total number of loaves served in all = 1 2/15 loaves

The Martin’s want to buy a new computer. The regular price is $849. The store is offering a 20% discount and a sales tax of 6% is added after the discount. What is the total cost of the computer?

Answers

Answer: The total cost of computer would be $719.95

Step-by-step explanation:

I use proportions for these types of problems so we begin with a proportion!

20/100=x/849

100x=16980

x=169.80

Then, after finding how much the discount is, we would subtract it.

849-169.80=679.20

Next, we would find the tax amount with another proportion to find what 6 percent of 679.20 is.

6/100=x/679.20

100x=4075.2

x=40.75

Lastly, we would add the tax, $40.75, plus the total after the discount, $679.20!

Hope this helps! Good luck! (:

What equation in slope-intercept form represents the line that passes
through the points (3,-2) and (1, -3)?

Answers

Answer:

2y = x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of the line is;

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

To get the slope, we use the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(x1, y1) = (3,-2)

(x2,y2) = (1,-3)

m = (-3+2)/(1-3) = -1/-2 = 1/2

So we have the equation as;

y = x/2 + b

Multiply through by 2

2y = x + 2b

To get the y-intercept value, we substitute any of the points

Let us use the first point

While 3 will go for x , -2 will go for y; thus we have;

2(-2) = 3 + 2b

-4 = 3 + 2b

2b = -4-3

2b = -7

b = -7/2

So the equation is;

2y = x -7

A shade of green paint is made by mixing blue paint and yellow paint in the ratio of 4 to 3. How many pints of blue paint and yellow paint are needed to make 21 pints of the green paint? A. 12 pints of blue paint and 3 pints of yellow paint B. 9 pints of blue paint and 12 pints of yellow paint C. 16 pints of blue paint and 9 pints of yellow paint D. 12 pints of blue paint and 9 pints of yellow paint

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the ratios = 4 + 3 = 7

The ratio of blue paint to the total paint = 4/7

The ratio of yellow paint to the total paint = 3/7

Pints of blue paint needed to make  21 pints of the green paint = 4/7 x 21 = 12 pints

Pints of yellow paint needed to make  21 pints of the green paint = 3/7 x 21 = 9 pints

is 1 1/2 equal to 1 to 2? why or why not

Answers

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

1 to 2 is 1/2

Answer:

No. See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

I've never heard anyone say this out loud. However, on Brainly, it is always interpreted as 1 1/2 = 1.5. So it is 1 plus 1/2.

1 to 2 is a ratio. For every set of car keys I have 2 house keys.

1 to 2 can be written either as 1/2 or 1:2 depending on how touchy your instructor is.

So no. 1 1/2 is not the same as 1:2

For the linear equation, find the product of 5 and the linear equation, and solve both equations for y. 2x + 7y = 11

Answers

Answer:

(a) [tex]10x + 35y = 55[/tex]

(b) [tex]y = \frac{11 - 2x}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]2x + 7y = 11[/tex]

Solving (a): Multiply equation by 5.

Multiply both sides by 5

[tex]5 * (2x + 7y) = 11*5[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]5 * 2x + 5 * 7y = 11*5[/tex]

[tex]10x + 35y = 55[/tex]

(b) Solve for y in [tex]10x + 35y = 55[/tex] and [tex]2x + 7y = 11[/tex]

[tex]10x + 35y = 55[/tex]

Subtract 10x from both sides

[tex]35y = 55 - 10x[/tex]

Divide both sides by 35

[tex]\frac{35y}{35} = \frac{55 - 10x}{35}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{55 - 10x}{35}[/tex]

Factorize the numerator:

[tex]y = \frac{5(11 - 2x)}{35}[/tex]

Express 35 as 7 * 5

[tex]y = \frac{5(11 - 2x)}{7 * 5}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{(11 - 2x)}{7}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{11 - 2x}{7}[/tex]

When [tex]2x + 7y = 11[/tex] is solved, the solution will be: [tex]y = \frac{11 - 2x}{7}[/tex]

Write the equation to find the nth term in the arithmetic sequence. First term:-10 and common difference:2

Step by step

Answers

Answer:

2n - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic progression is expressed as;

Tn = a+(n-1)d

a is the first term = -10

n is the number of terms

d is the common difference = 2

Substitute

Tn = -10 + (n-1)2

Tn = -10 + 2n-2

Tn = 2n -10-2

Tn = 2n - 12

Hence the nth term of the sequence is 2n - 12
