A runner saved $25 when he purchased a pair of tennis shoes on sale. If the sale price was 35% off the regular price, what was the regular price of the tennis shoes?

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Amount saved in sale = $25

Sale price was 35% off the regular price.

To find:

The regular price of the tennis shoes.

Solution:

Let the regular price of the tennis shoes be x.

Sale price was 35% off the regular price.

[tex]Discount=\dfrac{35}{100}x[/tex]

Amount saved in sale = $25

[tex]0.35x=25[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.35.

[tex]x=\dfrac{25}{0.35}[/tex]

[tex]x=71.42857[/tex]

[tex]x\approx 71.43[/tex]

Therefore, the regular price of the tennis shoes is $71.43.

Find an equation for the line below.
Help me please :(

Answers

Answer:

y=3/2x+5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

I used the Y2-Y1/X2-X1

In this equation you can see that there are 2 points (-5,-5) and (1,4)

If you substitute, you will get

4+5/1+5

9/6 and if you simplify this, you will get 3/2

Now that we have the slope, we just have to use y=mx+b

(I'm using the point (1,4))  4=3/2(1)+b

                                         4=3/2+b

                                         5/2=b

Simplify the following expression. (19x + 4y) + (49x + 32y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine Like Terms:

= 19x + 4y + 49x + 32y

= (19x + 49x) + (4y + 32y)

= 68x + 36y

Hope this helped you!

Answer:

68x + 36y

Step-by-step explanation:

You can compeletely get rid of the parenthesis because it is addition through and thorough.

You have 19x + 4y + 49x + 32y

You can combine like terms to get

19x +49x which is 68x

and

4y + 32y which is 36y

You now have 68 + 36y which cannot be simplified anymore because the variables are different.

A bus travels at a speed of 40 miles per hour and reaches Hogville in 40 minutes. If a cab takes 35 minutes to reach the same spot, determine the speed at which it traveled.

Answers

Answer:

45.7miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

40mins = 2/3 hour

the bus travelled (2/3 x 40) miles = 80/3 miles

the cab took 35 mins (which is 7/12 hour) so it's speed is (80/3)/(7/12) miles/hour = 45.714 miles/hour (5 s.f.)

Step-by-step explanation:

r + 8 - 5r = 2(4 - 2r) solve for r please

Answers

-4r + 8 = 8 - 4r

0 = 0 so it's like {}

Answer:

r = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

This is actually the first time I've actually had a equation with the variable equaling 0.

so first things first you have the equation:

r + 8 - 5r = 2(4 - 2r)

so you are going to add or multiply all the variable numbers together and the none variable numbers together like so:

r + (-5r) and (2*4) and (2* (-2r)) to get the equation looking like so:

8+ (-4r)= 8 -4r

you then add -4r to both sides to get this equation:

8+ ( -4r)= 8 -4r

    + 4r       +4r

8 = 8 + r

you then subtract 8 from both sides to get r:

8 = 8 + r

-8  -8

0 = r

to check substitute the 0 into r in the equation:

r + 8 - 5r = 2(4 - 2r)

0 + 8 - (5*0) = 2(4- (2*0))

8 = 8

Tada!!!
