The price of a watch was increased by 20% to £162.
What was the price before the increase?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 135

Step-by-step explanation:

it increased by 20%

so the 162 is 120% of the first price

so if we multiply 162 by 100/120 we will get the first price

100/120=5/6 and 5/6*162 is 135

What is an expression?

The mathematical expression combines numerical variables and operations denoted by addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division signs.

Mathematical symbols can be used to represent numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping. They can also denote the logical syntax's operation order and other properties.

Given that Tim is sorting his book collection into groups. He places each group onto bookshelves that can each hold a maximum of 25 pounds. His collection includes hardcover books that weigh 3 pounds each and softcover books that weigh 2 pounds each.

Total weight = 25 pounds

The number of hardcover books which weigh less than 25 pounds is,

3 x 3 pounds = 9 pounds

4 x 3 pounds = 12 pounds

8 x 3 pounds =- 24 pounds

Therefore, the number of hardcover books will be 3,4, and 8.

This is a rectangular prism,

Here length = 16 m

Width = 6 m

Height = 3 m

Surface area of rectangular prism = 2( bl + lh + hb )

Where,

b – base length of the rectangular prism.

l – base width of the rectangular prism.

h – height of the rectangular prism.

Putting these values, surface area = 2(16×6 + 16×3+ 3×6)

= 2( 96+48+18) = 2×162 = 324m

Rectangle A has area 50 cm 2 and length 10 cm. The area of rectangle B is one-half the
area of rectangle A. The rectangles have the same length.
What is the width of rectangle B?

Answers

Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of A is 50 cm ^2

length of A is 10

Area of B is 50/2 cm^2 or 25cm^2

area for all rectangles is length * width

so area of B divided by length of b is width of b

25/10 = 2.5

width of b is 2.5

Which rule describes the composition of transformations that maps triangle BCD to triangle B""C""D""?

Answers

Answer:

(d)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for [tex]\triangle BCD[/tex] and [tex]\triangle B"C"D"[/tex]

Required

The transformations

Using B and B"" as points of reference, we have:

[tex]B = (1,4)[/tex]

[tex]B"" = (5,-1)[/tex]

The transformation is as follows:

First, reflect across y axis.

The rule is:

[tex](x,y) \to (-x,y)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]B(1,4) \to B'(-1,4)[/tex]

Next, translate 6 units right.

The rule is:

[tex](x,y) \to (x + 6,y)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]B' (-1,4) \to B"(-1 + 6,4)[/tex]

[tex]B' (-1,4) \to B"(5,4)[/tex]

Lastly, translate 5 units down

The rule is:

[tex](x,y) \to (x,y-5)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]B"(5,4) \to (5,4-5)[/tex]

Last month a bakery sold a total of 3,500 cookies and cupcakes. They sold cookies for $0.75 each and cupcakes for $2 each. If the total sales last month was $4,500, how many cookies and how many cupcakes did the bakery sell?

Answers

Answer:

Number of cookies sold is 2000 and number of cupcakes sold is 1500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of cookies be [tex]x[/tex]

and number of cupcakes be [tex]y[/tex] so

[tex]x+y=3500[/tex]

Cost of one cookie is $0.75

Cost of one cupcake is $2

[tex]0.75x+2y=4500[/tex]

[tex]x+y=3500[/tex] [tex]\times 2[/tex]

[tex]2x+2y=7000[/tex]

[tex]-1.25x=-2500\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{2500}{1.25}\\\Rightarrow x=2000[/tex]

[tex]y=3500-x=3500-2000\\\Rightarrow y=1500[/tex]

Number of cookies sold is 2000 and number of cupcakes sold is 1500.

Alison runs a mile in 5 minutes and 50 seconds. Elizabeth runs a mile in 6 minutes and 40 seconds. What is the ratio of Alison's time to Elizabeth's time?

a) 7:8
b) 5.5:6.4
c) 55:64
d) 8:7

Answers

Answer:

7:8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert their times to common units. You'll want to put it in seconds:

5 minutes and 50 seconds = 350 seconds

- multiply 5 minutes by 60 to get it into seconds and then add the other 50 seconds to it

- for Elizabeth's time, multiply 6 by 60 seconds and add 40 to it

To get the ratio of their times, divide Alison's time by Elizabeth's time:

350 ÷ 400 = 7:8

Answer:

a) 7:8

Step-by-step explanation:

Alison: 5 minutes and 50 seconds = 355 seconds

Elizabeth: 6 minutes and 40 seconds = 400 seconds

355:400, reduces to 71:80 or 7:8
