Joyce paid $31.50 for an item at the store that was 55 percent off the original price. What was the original price?
Give your answer to the nearest cent.

Answers

Answer 1

The original price of the item was $70 if Joyce paid $31.50 for an item at the store that was 55 percent off the original price.

What is Algebraic expression ?

Algebraic expression can be defined as combination of variables and constants.

Let x be the original price of the item. Then, we can write the equation:

x - 0.55x = 31.50

from the given expression we need to solve the value of x to get the original price if Joyce paid $31.50 for an item at the store that was 55 percent off the original price

Simplifying the given equation, we get:

0.45x = 31.50

Dividing both sides by 0.45, we get:

x = 70

Therefore, the original price of the item was $70.

Which equation does the graph below represent

Answers

Answer: The answer is y=-3x

Step-by-step explanation: You can see in the picture that the line is going down which represents a negative slope so you can eliminate C and D. Now you are left with A and B. 1 unit up is equal to 3 so the rise over run is -3/1 and that translates to Y=-3x answer B

Jaden places potatoes with a mass of 0.55 kilograms on a grocer's scale. The spring is displaced by 1.2 centimeters. He then places some onions on the scale that displace the spring by 0.67 cm. What is the mass of the onions (1 kg=9.8 N)? 5.39 kg 3.01 kg 0.67 kg 0.31 kg

Answers

Answer:

.31 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

F=kx

F = the force of the spring

k = the spring constant

x = the spring displacement (stretch or compression)

we also know that 1 kg = 9.8 N which also means that 9.8(kg)=F

let's first find the force of the first problem, which is .55 kg. Using the formula 9.8(kg)=F we can do 9.8(.55)=F which would mean the force is 5.39 N

so 5.39=k(1.2 centimeters)

Now we need to convert centimeters to meters. This would make 1.2 into .012m. Now our problem is 5.39=k(.012)

divide 5.39 by .012 to get 449.17

our k is 449.17

Now for our problem, we are going to find the mass.  

Do this by putting what we already know into the problem.

F=449.17(.67 centimeters)

Now we already know we need to convert centimeters to meters which will make our formula F=449.17(.0067m)

This will result in F=3.01 but the problem is asking for mass, not force.

Use the formula 9.8(kg)=F

9.8(kg)=3.01

kg=.31

solution: .31 kg

Trucks must haul between 150,000 yd' and 180,000 yd of earth each day to create a new

water park near Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. The trucks can haul 10.000 yd per day

and 120,500 yds have already been brought to the site. How many days are needed to

complete this job?

Answers

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Range which must be hauled by trucks :

150,000 - 180,000 yds of earth

Haul per day = 10000 yds

Already removed = 120,500

We can express the problem as an inequality:

Using y = number of days

150,000 ≤ (10000y + 120,500) ≤ 180000

150,000 ≤ (10000y + 120,500)

150000 - 120500 ≤ 10000y

29500/10000

y = 2.95 days

10000y + 120,500 ≤ 160000

10000y ≤ 160000 - 120500

y = 39500/10000

y = 3.95

2.95 ≤ y ≤ 3.95

If there are 48 boys and 60 girls in a room, fill out all of the possible ratios of boys to girls that could be made.

Answers

Hi! Hope this helps & if so, be sure to Mark Brainly!

Okay, so first let's lay out some info first to make things easier:


48 students total in the school play
Ratio of boys to girls is 5:7
How many more girls are there than boys in the play?


Let's let "5x" represent the number of boys in the school play and "7x" represent the number of girls in the school play.


5x = boys

7x = girls


If we know that the total number of students in the play equals 48, then that must me that both the number of boys and girls combined must equal 48:


5x + 7x = 48

12x = 48

x = 4


Now, take your x-value and plug it into both the boys' and girls' values to figure out how many boys and girls there are in the play:


5x = 5 (4) = 20 boys

7x = 7 (4) = 28 girls


To find out how many more girls there are than boys in the play, just subtract the number of girls minus the number of boys:


# girls - # boys = 28 - 20 = 8


This means that there are 8 more girls than boys in the school play.

B)102.44x + 11 = 36.44
C)11x + 36,44 = 10244

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

She spent $102.44 in total.

She spent $36.44 on cookies.

And $11 per box of cupcakes.

This means that she knows the exact amount she spent on cookies and in total so now to find out how much she spent on cupcakes, she subtracts $36.44 from $102.44($66) and then divides 66 by 11(6). So if you needed the problem solved x=6.

Answers

Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Total shirts = 40

If we split the remainder of the work equally over the next 5 evenings.

then, the number of shirts she will need to iron on each evening = [tex]\dfrac{40}{5}=8[/tex]

Number of shirts need to buy on Thursday and Friday = 2 (8) = 16
