A jewellery shop is having a sale.

A bracelet is now reduced to £420.
This is 70% of the original price.

a) Work out the original price of the bracelet.

A ring is now reduced to £840.
This is a saving of 40% of the original price.

b) Work out the original price of the ring.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) £600

b) £1400

Step-by-step explanation:

a)  Set up a ratio of price to percentage of original price.

Let x = original price

⇒ £420 : 70 = £x : 100%

[tex]\sf \implies 420 : 70 = x : 100[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies \dfrac{420}{70}=\dfrac{x}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies x=100\cdot\dfrac{420}{70}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies x=600[/tex]

Therefore, the original price of the bracelet was £600

b) Set up a ratio of price to percentage of original price.

If the ring is reduced by 40% then it is now 60% of the original price, since 100% - 40% = 60%

Let x = original price

⇒ £840 : 60% = £x : 100%

[tex]\sf \implies 840 : 60 = x : 100[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies \dfrac{840}{60}=\dfrac{x}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies x=100\cdot\dfrac{840}{60}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies x=1400[/tex]

Therefore, the original price of the ring was £1400

when each edge of a cube is decreased by 1 cm, its volume is decreased by 91 cm^3 .Find the length of the a side of the original cube.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the original side length is x.

the volume of a block is length × width × height.

so, for a cube with all sides being equal, the volume in our case is x³ (x × x × x).

now, with the same formula but with every side shortened by 1 cm we get

(x-1)(x-1)(x-1) = x³ - 91 (the original volume minus 91)

now, we have to do the multiplications.

(x-1)(x-1) = x² - 2x + 1

(x²-2x+1)(x-1) = x³ - x² - 2x² + 2x + x - 1 = x³ -3x² + 3x -1

x³ - 3x² + 3x - 1 = x³ - 91

-3x² + 3x = -90

-x² + x = -30

x² - x = 30

x² - x - 30 = 0

the general solution to such a squared equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 1

b = -1

c = -30

x = (1 ± sqrt((-1)² - 4×1×-30))/(2×1) =

= (1 ± sqrt(1 + 120))/2 = (1 ± sqrt(121))/2 =

= (1 ± 11)/2

x1 = (1 + 11)/2 = 12/2 = 6

x2 = (1 - 11)/2 = -10/2 = -5

a negative number does not make any sense for a side length, so our solution is x = 6 cm.

the original side length of the cube is 6 cm.

to check :

6³ = 216

(6-1)³ = 5³ = 125

216 - 125 = 91

perfect.

The volume of the larger cone is about 18.8 cubic inches greater than the volume of the small cone

The volume of a cone is calculated as:

For the small cone, we have the following parameters:

Diameter = 3 inches

Height = 3.5 inches

Diameter = 4.5 inches

Height = 5.1 inches

So, the volume of the large cone is:

Calculate the difference of both volumes

Hence, the volume of the larger cone is about 18.8 cubic inches greater than the volume of the small cone

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial value ( y - value) for  Function A is 12.

For B its 3(-1) + 2 = -1   so the answer is Function A.

Answer:

Find 'Function A's linear equation by using point-slope formula;

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Where y1 = your first y-coordinate in any pair, and x1 = your first x-coordinate in the following pair used for the y-coordinate, and lastly m = slope.

But, we do not have the slope so we use the formula to find the slope(rise/run) of any two random points;

y2(second y-coordinate) - y1(first y-coordinate)

______________________________________

x2(second x-coordinate) - x1(first x-coordinate)

We plug in these values using any two ordered pairs, so I'll just use (-1,12) and (0,8).

12 - 8           4

_____ = ______ = -4/1 or -4 is the slope, so now we utilize this slope into

-1 - 0           -1

our point slope formula:-

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

For this, we just use one arbitrary pair, I'll use (-1,12).

So,

y - 12 = -4(x - (-1))

simplify

y - 12 = -4x - 4

isolate y by adding 12 to both sides (inverse operation of subtraction is addition)

+12         +12

y = -4x + 8, is the function for A.

Now let's compare the y-intercepts of both of these functions because we want to see which one has the greatest initial value.

Function A: y = -4x + 8, 8 is the y-intercept in this case.

Function B: y = 3x + 2, 2 is the y-intercept in this case.

Compare;

8 > 2, therefore Function A has a greater initial value.

in a school of 330 students, 85 of them are in a drama club, 200 of them are in a sports team and 60 of them do both

find the probability that the student isn't in a sports or drama club​

Answers

Answer:

105/330 = 21/66 = 7/22

7/22 is the answer I think

Step-by-step explanation:

n(U) = 330

n(A) = 85

n(B) = 200

n(A n B) = 60

Now,

n(A U B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A n B)

or, n(A U B) = 85 + 200 - 60

or, n(A U B) = 285 - 60 = 225

Now,

n(A U B) compliment = n(U) - n(A U B)

n(A U B) compliment = 330 - 225

so, n(A U B) compliment = 105

Now,

probability = 105/330

(a) Make y the subject of 3y - 2x = 5.
(b) Hence, find the value of y when x= -2.

Answers

Answer:

a) 5/2

b) 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 3y-2x=5 to find the value of y let we replace x by 0

then solve it

Answer:

(a) y = 2/3x + 5/3

(b) y = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Make y the subject of 3y - 2x = 5

3y - 2x = 5

    + 2x + 2x ==> isolate the variable y, by adding 2x to both sides

3y = 2x + 5 ==> divide both sides by three

/3       /3

y = 2/3x + 5/3 ==> y now becomes the subject, or our final answer

(b) Using 3y - 2x = 5 or y = 2/3x + 5/3,  find the value of y when x= -2

y = 2/3x + 5/3

y = 2/3(-2) + 5/3 ==> substitute -2 for x

y = -4/3 + 5/3 ==> add the fractions

y = 1/3 ==> the value of y, our final answer

OR

3y - 2x = 5

3y - 2(-2) = 5 ==> substitute -2 for x

3y - (-4) = 5

3y + 4 = 5 ==> --4 makes a +4, the subtract 4 (-4) from both sides

     - 4  - 4

3y = 1 ==> divide both sides by 3

/3    /3

y = 1/3 ==> your final answer

Hope this helps!

b. translation, rotation

Step-by-step explanation:

When a shape is translated, that just means nothing about it has changed except it's location on the coordinate plane. This is that happened with shape 1 - it was translated, and that created shape 2.

When a shape is rotated, that just means it is turned (or rotated) at a specific point. This is what happened to shape 2 that changed it to shape 3.

The other two transformations that aren't shown in this specific example are dilation, which means that the shape either shrinks or grows, and reflection, which means that the shape is reflected across the y-axis or the x-axis.
