On Tuesday, a radio store reduces all of its prices by 20% from what they were on Monday.
On Wednesday, the store again reduces all of its prices by some percentage from what they were on Tuesday. If the resulting price of a radio is half of the original Monday price,
then by what percentage did the store reduce its prices from Tuesday to Wednesday?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Call Monday's price, P

Tuesday's price must just be .80P   [ 20% reduction]

Call Wednesday's price reduction ( 1 - R)

So...we have that

Tuesday's price  *  Wednesday's reduction  = (1/2)P

(.80)P  *( 1 - R)  = (1/2)P    divide through by  P  and note that 1/2  = .50

.80 (1 - R)  = .50        divide both sides by .80

1 - R  =  .50/.80

1 - R  = 5/8

1 - 5/8 = R

3/8   = R = .375  = 37.5%  = the reduction from Tues. to Wed.

Proof of this...let Monday's price  = 100

Tuesdays price  = .80 * 100   = 80

Wed price  = 80 (1 - R)  = 80 (1 - .375)  = 50 =  half of  Mon. price

Answer:

arc VW = 66°

Step-by-step explanation:

The inscribed angle WXY is half the measure of its intercepted arc WY, so

WY = 2 × 57° = 114°

Arc YX = 180° ( semi- circle ) , then

VW = YX - WY = 180° - 114° = 66°

Answer:

66°

Step-by-step explanation:

1) m(WY)=2*57=114°;

2) m(WX)=180-m(WY)=180-114=66°

Graham drove 42 1/3 miles in 1 1/3 hours. What is the unit rate for miles per hour? Use pencil and paper. Describe a situation in which the unit rate would be easier to work with than the given rate.​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

42+(1/3)

42*(3/3)+(1/3)

(126/3) + 1/3

126/3 + 1/3 = 127/3 miles

4/3 hours

(127/3)/4/3)

(127/3)*(3/4)

= 127/4 or 31.75 miles/hour

It would have been nicer if we were told Graham's distance after 1 hour (when he had travelled 31.75 miles).


Find the value of x. 50​

Answers

The value of x is 47.

The angles of a triangle equal 180 degrees. You’re given two angles with the vale’s 83 degrees and 50 degrees. To find the remaining angle subtract the two angles from 180.

180 - 83 - 50 = 47.

Answer:

47 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The total angles of a triangle always equals 180. Therefore, just add the two angles together then subtract by 180 to get your answer:

180-83+50=47

Answers

Answer:

Corroponding side lengths are equal

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles may have the same areas, but the sides might be different or in different spots than each other. The same goes for perimeter, therefore it doesn't mean that they are congruent. If two triangles had the same angle measures, it could still have any size side lengths. When corrosponding side lengths are equal, they have the same angles as well, so they are only congruent in this example.

HELP!!!
Jacob and Paul are playing a game of cards. After the first round, Jacob said that Paul's score would be twice his own score if he earned 7 more points.
Paul responded to Jacob by telling him his score was only 6 points higher then Jacobs.
PART A. write a system of equations to represent each of the boys statements. Be sure to specify what your variables represent.
PART B. If they both are correct. How many points did each if the boys score?

Answers

Answer:

A. y=x2 - 7

   y=x + 6

B. 7

Answer:

A.) 2x = y + 7

     y = x + 6

The variable "x" would represent Jacob's score and the variable "y" would represent Paul's score in each equation. In the first equation, 2x would represent Jacob's score multiplied by 2, and 7 would represent the amount of points needed in order for Paul to have double Jacob's score. In the second equation, 6 would represent the amount of points needed in order for Jacob's score to be equal to Paul's score.

B.) They are both correct so Jacob's score is 13 points and Paul's is 19.

6 + 7 = 13 (the difference between scores in both equations)

6 would represent the amount that Paul is above Jacob's score and 7 would represent the amount that Paul would have to score to get two times Jacob's score. So, this shows that Paul would have 26 points if he had double the amount of Jacob's score and 26 ÷ 2 = 13.

Hope This Helps!
