The price of a pair of jeans at a store increased by 25% to $40. Find the price of the pair of jeans before the increase

Answers

Answer 1
First you gotta look for the value of the 25% in the 40$ So it will be
25&=0.25
0.25x40=10
Now all you gotta do it’s
40-10=30
You subtract becaus le they ask you to find the price before it was increased so that why you gotta subrtract it

Which ordered pair is a solution of y = x - 4?

( -3, -7 )

( 3, -7 )

( -3, 7 )

( 3, 7 )

Answers

(-3, -7) is your answer

an order pair follows the (x, y) pair, in which (in this case), x = -3, and y = -7

plug in to the respective places inside the equation.

y = x - 4

(-7) = (-3) - 4

-7 = -7 (true)

Therefore, (-3, -7) is your answer

hope this helps
The correct answer is (-3,-7). This is because you can plug it in and the two sides are equal to each other. When you plug -3 in for x, you subtract for from it and get -7 since the y term is -7 the answer is -7=-7, thus (-3, -7) is the answer.

What is the perimeter of the rectangle? Write your answer in scientific notation. The area is 2.76 x 10 pw12 the width is 4.6 x 10 pw5 pw is the power

Answers

The caret (^) is the symbol conventionally used to indicate an exponent.

You have
  area = 2.76·10^12
  width = 4.6·10^5

You want to find the perimeter of the rectangle with these dimensions.

The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of length and width.
  perimeter = 2*(length + width)
The length can be figured from the area using the formula for area.
  area = length*width
  area/width = length . . . . . . . . . divide by width
Filling in the numbers, we have
  perimeter = 2*((2.76·10^12)/(4.6·10^5) +(4.6·10^5))
  perimeter = 2*(6.0·10^6 +0.46·10^6)
  perimeter = 2*6.46·10^6 = 1.292·10^7

The perimeter of the rectangle is ...
  1.292·10^7
Final answer:

To calculate the perimeter of a rectangle in scientific notation, divide the given area by the width to find the length, then use the perimeter formula (P = 2×length + 2×width), accounting for the power of 10 in your calculations to maintain proper notation.

Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle can be found using the formula P = 2×length + 2×width. Given the area of the rectangle (2.76 x 10^12 square units) and the width (4.6 x 10^5 units), we can find the length by dividing the area by the width. The length would therefore be the area divided by the width which is (2.76 x 10^12) / (4.6 x 10^5) = 6 x 10^6 units. Now that we have the length and width, we can calculate the perimeter by substituting into the formula: P = 2×(6 x 10^6) + 2×(4.6 x 10^5) = 1.2 x 10^7 + 9.2 x 10^5. Converting the width to the same power of 10, we get P = 1.2 x 10^7 + 0.092 x 10^7 = 1.292 x 10^7 units. This expresses the perimeter in scientific notation.

y equals x + z + 5 Z equals -3 y - 3 2x minus y equals negative 4 How can i solve using 3 variable systems of equation

Answers

To solve a set of linear equations in 3 variables, you need 3 equations. As far as I can tell, you have 2 equations here, so the best you can do is write expressions for 2 of the variables in terms of the third.

If you have
  x +z +5z = -3y -3
  3x -y = -4
Then you can rewrite as
  x = -1.5 -0.6z
  y = -0.5 -1.8z

_____
You can get this by any of the usual methods of solving linear equations. Just treat the system as two equations in x and y with the z terms on the right side of the equal sign:
  x +3y = -3 -6z
  3x -y = -4

Marisol and Mimi walked the same distance from their school to a shopping mall. Marisol walked 2 miles per hour, while Mimi left an hour later and walked 3 miles per hour. If they reached the mall at the same time how far is the mall from their school?

Answers

Let the time in hours after Marisol starts walking be t  and so the time in hours after Mimi starts walking is (t-1)
The distance walked by Marisol=speed*time=2t
Distance walked by Mimi=3(t-1)

When they've reached school they've all walked the same distance so:
3(t-1)=2t
3t-3=2t
3t-2t=3
t=3
Thus the distance from the mall to their school is 2t=2*3=6 miles

Michelle collects US, Canadian and Mexican stamps. In her collection 80% of the stamps are U.S. and Mexican stamps. there are 3 times as many U.S. stamps as Mexican stamps. WHat percent of Michelle's collections is made up of U.S. stamps?

Answers

We know that 80% of the stamps are US and Mexican. 
The US stamps are 3 times the Mexican stamps. That means that of the 80%, Mexicans comprised of the 20% and US comprised of the 60% to satisfy the relationship of their ratios. 

Therefore, 60% of Michelle's collection is made up of US stamps.  
     

Final answer:

Michelle's stamp collection consists of 60% U.S. stamps, determined by solving equations based on the given information that U.S. and Mexican stamps make up 80% of her collection and there are three times as many U.S. stamps as Mexican stamps.

Explanation:

The student asked what percent of Michelle's stamp collection is made up of U.S. stamps if 80% are U.S. and Mexican stamps and there are 3 times as many U.S. stamps as Mexican stamps. To solve this, let's call the percentage of U.S. stamps 'U' and the percentage of Mexican stamps 'M'. According to the given information, U + M = 80%, and U = 3M.

We substitute the second expression into the first to get 3M + M = 80%, which simplifies to 4M = 80%. Dividing both sides by 4 gives M = 20%. As the number of U.S. stamps is three times the number of Mexican stamps, we calculate U as 3 × 20% = 60%. So, the percentage of U.S. stamps in Michelle's collection is 60%.

And it was 24=b

solving that it gives us 25

This isn’t that much of help sorry but this is the basic info on how to solve it you can learn more by searching videos about the Pythagorean thermom.

Hope this helps-A

The maximum width of the slot is 25cm (Option A).

To find the maximum width of the mail slot, we need to calculate the length of the diagonal (the dotted line) in the rectangle. The diagonal of a rectangle can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.

Given:

- The length of the rectangle (one side) = 24 cm

- The height of the rectangle (other side) = 7 cm

The formula for the diagonal [tex]\( d \)[/tex] is:

[tex]\[ d = \sqrt{(length)^2 + (height)^2} \][/tex]

Substituting the given values:

[tex]\[ d = \sqrt{24^2 + 7^2} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ d = \sqrt{576 + 49} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ d = \sqrt{625} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ d = 25 \, \text{cm} \][/tex]

So, the maximum width of the mail slot is 25cm.

If Dr. Suzuki rides his bike to his​ office, he averages 9 miles per hour. If he drives his​ car, he averages 27 miles per hour. His time driving is one third hour less than his time bicycling. How far is his​ office?

Answers

Speed
Riding speed = 9 mph
Driving speed = 27 mph

Time
If x hours is the time taken when riding, (x - 1/3) hours  is the time taken when driving.

Distance in both instances is the same, D= Speed * time

Therefore,
9*x = 27(x-1/3)
9x = 27x - 27/2
9x = 27x - 9
(9-27)x = -9
-18x = -9
x = 9/18 = 1/2 hours

Distance, D = 1/2 *9 = 4.5 miles

you have $120 to donate equally to several charities. Does this situaton represent direct or inverse variation? Explain.

Answers

This situation represents inverse variation.

The difference between direct and inverse variation is in direct variation, as one variable goes up the other does too, while in inverse, as one variable goes up the other falls.

In this case, as you donate to more charities, the amount you donate to each charity falls, because you donate an equal amount. This means it's inverse variation.

Rex uses 2.25 gallons of paint on the shed, which is [tex]\( \frac{3}{4} \)[/tex] of the 3 gallons of paint he uses on the garage.

To find out how much paint Rex uses on the shed, we need to calculate [tex]\( \frac{3}{4} \)[/tex] of the amount of paint he uses on the garage.

Rex uses 3 gallons of paint on the garage.

Therefore, the amount of paint he uses on the shed is:

Calculating this:

Paint used on the shed = [tex]\frac{3 \times 3}{4}[/tex]

So, Rex uses 2.25 gallons of paint on the shed.
