Question

amy paid $79.23 for a pair of running shoes during a 35% off sale what was the regular price?
My answer is $121.89 reg. price is this correct

Answer 1

$(79.23*100)/(100-35)=$121.89 reg.
yes u are right

Answer 2

solve then graph
5x>=15
I know the answer is 3
is the correct solution x<3 or x>=3

Answer 3

since she got a discount of 35%, it means that 79.23 is 65% of the original price

so let the regular price = x
65% of x = 79.23

65
----- * x = 79.23
100

79.23 * 100
x = ----------- = 121.92
65

so the regular price of the shoes was $ 121.89

Answer 4

harkirat can you help with this i am checking my ans.
soybean meal is 16% protein, cornmeal is 8% protein. How many pounds of each should be mixed together in order to get 320-lb mixture that is 10% protein?
so how many pounds of the cornmeal should be in the mixture?
how many pounds of the soybean meal shoud be in the mixture?

Answer 5

for previous question x>=3
becoz 5x = 5*3 = 15 so if x >=3 then 5x>=15

Answer 6

now i will solve the soyabean one....

Answer 7

let the amount of soyabean be = x lb
then amount of cornmeal = (320-x)lb

1 lb of soyabean is 16% protein i.e 16/100 = 0.16 lb protein
so x lbs of soyabean has = 0.16 * x = 0.16x lb of protein

1 lb of cormeal is 8% protein i.e. 8/100 = 0.08 lb protein
so (320 - x) lbs of cornmeal has = 0.08 * (320-x) = ( 25.6 - 0.08x) lb of protein

1 lb of mixture is 10% protein i.e. 10/100 = 0.1 lb protein
so 320 lbs of cornmeal has = 0.1 * 320 lb of protein

ATQ, 0.16x + (25.6 - 0.08x) = 0.1 * 320
=> 0.08x + 25.6 = 32
=> 0.08x = 32 - 25.6
=> x = 6.4/0.08 = 80

so there shud b 80 lbs of soyabean in the mixture
and 320-80 = 240 lbs of cornmeal in the mixture
