Answer:
112 $ is the original price
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to think that the original price multiplied by 0.75 (also known as 75%) gave the result of what he saves i.e 84 $. So we put up an equation with the original price multiplied by 75% which equals the 84 $ he saved on buying that item on sale
So 55% is really 55/100
You take 100 - 55 to find how much Mr. Williams drove
100 - 55 = 45
So Mr. Williams drove 45/100 of the miles
Simplified is 9/20 of the miles
Answer:
∠ A = 50°
Step-by-step explanation:
In a parallelogram, consecutive angles are supplementary, sum to 180°
∠ A + 130° = 180° ( subtract 130° from both sides )
∠ A = 50°
Answer:
16.5 ft by 25.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the width of the garden in feet. Then w+9 is the garden's length, and w(w+9) represents its area.
The surrounding walkway adds 8 feet to each dimension, so the total area of the garden with the walkway is ...
(w+8)(w+9+8) = w^2 +25w +136
If we subtract the area of the garden itself, then the remaining area is that of the walkway:
(w^2 +25w +136) - (w(w+9)) = 400
16w + 136 = 400 . . .simplify
16w = 264 . . . . . . . . subtract 136
264/16 = w = 16.5 . . . . . width of the garden in feet
w+9 = 25.5 . . . . . . . . . . .length of the garden in feet
