Basketball shoes are on sale for 22% off. What is the regular price if the sale price is $42 ??

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: so 22% off means that the shoes cost 100-22=78%

the shoes cost $42 so
42=78%

we want to find how much is 100% so we multiply 42/78 by 100/x where x is the cost since the same fraction inverted and multiplied by itself is = to 1. (if you don't get this feel free to message me)

so 4200/78x
we divide this on a calculator and get $53.85

Answer 2

Answer: By multiplying the discounted price by the percent which is 22% or .22, and then adding it to the discounted price the regular price will be known.
42*.22=9.24+42= Regular price
The regular price is $51.24

You make punch for a party. The ratio og ginger ale to fruit juice is 8 cups to 3 cups. You decide to add 4 more cups of ginger ale. How many more cupsof fruit juice do you need to keep the correct ratio.

Answers

To get the answer we can use proportion
8 ginger ----------------- 3 fruit
12 ginger ----------------x
Crossmultiply now
8x=12*3 /:8
x= $(12*3)/(8)$
x= $(36)/(8) \n x=4.5$
To not change ratio we have to have 4.5 cups of fruilt juice. We initialy had 3, so we have to add 1.5 cup of fruit juice.

7 2\3+ (5 1\6-1 5\9)

Answers

Start off with: 5 1/6 - 1 5/9
turn it into an entire fraction: 31/6 - 14/9
make a common denominator (which is 18): 93/18 - 28/18 = 93 - 28 = 65/18
65/18 + 7 2/3 is the new equation
7 2/3 = 23/3
23/3 = 138/18
65/18 + 138/18 = 203/18
Simplify: 203/18 = 11 5/18
Answer: 11 5/18

11 5/18 your welcome and pls like I need points
