Method 1: A pure algebraic approach
The unknown in this problem is the percent of decrease. A percent of decrease is the percentage of the original price that was deducted from the original price to obtain the sale price. We could write a "word equation" for this process like this:
original price - (percent of decrease)(original price) = sale price
Since the percent of decrease is the unknown in this problem, we'll call the percent of decrease x%.
Here's what we know so far:
The original price was $200
The sale price was $170
The percent of increase was x%
Putting this information in our word equation gives us an algebraic equation:
200 - (x%)(200) = 170
What do we do with the percent sign in this equation? "Percent" means "out of 100", so x% means x out of 100, or . Now we have this:
200 - (200) = 170
Now we'll solve our equation:
200 - (200) = 170
200 - 2x = 170
-2x = -30
x = 15
So the percent of decrease is 15%
Method 2: A method involving pure arithmetic.
If we know the original price and the sale price, we can find the percent of decrease in two steps:
Find the amount of decrease
Divide the amount of decrease by the original amount
This will give us the percent of decrease (written as a decimal number). We can then write the decimal as an equivalent percent to find our final answer.
Let's use method 2 on the same problem:
Frank bought a new television set on sale. If the TV's original price was $200 and Frank paid $170 for the TV, what was the percent of decrease?
First, let's find the amount of decrease:
Amount of decrease = 200 - 170 = 30
So the price decreased by $30.
Next, we'll find the percent of decrease, and rewrite the decimal answer as a percent:
Percent of decrease = = = .15 = 15%
So the percent of decrease is 15%
Before we leave the problem, let's check our answer:
Original price = $200
Price reduced by 15% of original price = 200(.15) = $30
Sale price would then be = $200 - $30 = $170
Our answer checks. We're done! Me not know if correct.
Each of four test scores in Connie’s class is to be weighted equally. On the first three tests, Connie scored 80%, 90% and 95%. What percent must she score on her fourth test to have an overall average of exactly 90%?
Answer:
95%is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
95%
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the balancing method to do this.. first what is the total below 90?
The total is 10% because 90-80 which was the only percentage below 90 is 10%. Then, what is the total above 90?
The total is 5% because the only percentage above 90 is 95 and 95-90 is 5%
Now we use the balancing method to get from 5-10.
Using the balancing method we get 95%

sin θ = 12/37. Find tan θ.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Use SOHCAHTOA.
sinθ = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]
Opposite side length= 12
Hypotenuse length = 37
Find the adjacent side length (b) using the Pythagorean theorem.
[tex]12^2 + b^2 = 37^2[/tex]
b = 35
tanθ = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex] = 12/35
Choice B is the correct answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
using sin inverse rule to get theta
[tex]sin^{-1} (\frac{12}{37} ) =18.9246[/tex] <---- theta
so tan(18.9246) =12 /35

Morgan's way to solve the equation |2x-7| =5 is first to write |x-3.5|=2.5. explain this approach, and then finish the job.
Answer:
Morgan divided 2 throughout the original equation, giving her |x-3.5|=2.5.
x = 6 and x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
|2x-7|=5 -- divide by 2
|x-3.5|=2.5 and |x-3.5|=-2.5 -- since this is an absolute value equation, we have to consider both positive and negative
x-3.5 = 2.5
x = 6
x-3.5 = -2.5
x = 1
-2(x+4)²= -200

I don't understand how to do things like 5 divided by 1/3.
No worries
First write 5 as 5/1.
Then, our division becomes:
5/1 ÷ 1/3
Then we just need to turn on second number upside down and multiply.
5/1 × 3/1
= 15/1
=> 15
2. A spider can walk at a certain speed and run at
another speed. If she walks for 10 seconds and runs for 9
seconds, she travels 85m. If she walks for 30 seconds and
runs for 2 seconds, she travels 130m. Find her speeds of
walking and running.
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed is the ratio of distance covered to the time taken. Speed is given by the formula:
speed = distance / time.
Let us assume the spider walking speed is x and its running speed is y.
If the spider walks for 10 seconds and runs for 9 seconds, she travels 85m. distance = speed * time, hence:
Total distance = distance covered walking + distance covered running
10x + 9y = 85 (1)
Also if she walks for 30 seconds and runs for 2 seconds, she travels 130m. Hence:
30x + 2y = 130 (2)
Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously by mutiplying equation 1 by 3 and subtracting equation 2 from the result:
25y = 125
y =5 m/s
Put y = 5 in eqn. 2
30x + 2(5) = 130
30x = 120
x = 4 m/s
The spider walks at 4 m/s and runs at 5 m/s
