A plane ticket barcelona costs £175 the price decreases by 6% work out the new price
Svet_ta [9500]

Answer: £164.50

Reducing 175 by 6% results in 164.5.

The absolute change is:

164.5 - 175 = -10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation is as follows:

175 - Percentage decrease =

175 - (6% × 175) =

175 - 6% of 175 =

(1 - 0.06) × 175 =

0.94 × 175 =

94 ÷ 100 × 175 =

94 × 175 divided by 100 =

16,450 ÷ 100 =

164.5

So, the final amount is £164.50

Which statements are true regarding undefinable terms in geometry? Select TWO options
PIT_PIT [9117]

Answer:

3) A line has one dimension, length. (True)

5) A plane is made up of an infinite collection of lines. (True)

Explanation:

Geometry has three undefined terms:

a) point

b) line

c) plane

Examining the given statements:

1) A point described as (x, y) has two dimensions — this is incorrect because a point has no dimensions.

2) A plane has clear start and end points — this is false as a plane extends infinitely without boundaries.

3) A line has exactly one dimension, which is its length. (True)

4) A point consists of countless lines — this is false; actually, a line consists of infinite points.

5) A plane consists of an unending set of lines. (True)

If mJI = (3x+2)°, mHLK = (15x-36)°, and m∠HML = (8x-1)°, find mHLK
lawyer [9240]

Response:

The measure of mHLK is "(204)°".

Step-by-step breakdown:

Given values include:

mJI = (3x+2)°

mHLK = (15x-36)°

and,

m∠HML = (8x-1)°

then,

What is mHLK?

Now,

Utilizing the chord-chord angle formula, we find

mHMK=\frac{1}{2}(mJL+mHLK)

Inserting the known values into the equation gives us

⇒  (8x-1)=\frac{1}{2}(15x-36+3x+2)

By carrying out cross-multiplication, we arrive at

⇒  2(8x-1)=18x-34

⇒  16x-2=18x-34

By subtracting "18x" from both sides, we obtain

⇒  16x-2-18x=18x-34-18x

⇒  -2x-2=-34

Upon adding "2" to both sides, we end up with

⇒  -2x=-34+2

⇒  -2x=-32

⇒  x=\frac{32}{2}

⇒  x=16

By substituting the value of "x" into mHLK = (15x-36)°, we calculate

⇒ (15x-36)° = (15×16-36)°

⇒                = (240-36)°

⇒                = (204)°

Thus, mHLK = (204)°

Henry needs 2 pints of red paint and 3 pints of yellow paint to get a specific shade of orange. If he uses 9 pints of yellow pai
Leona [9271]

Answer:

In total, Henry requires 15 pints of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Henry starts with 2 pints of red and 3 pints of yellow to achieve a certain color, but he has already used 9 pints of yellow paint. Thus, this is represented by:

3 x 3 = 9 (yellow)

Since whatever is done on one side must also be applied to the other, we calculate the red paint:

2 x 3 = 6 (red)

Now we consolidate the amounts:

9 + 6 = 15. (Total red and yellow paint)

This leads to the conclusion that 15 pints are needed.

Tim was given a large bag of sweets and ate one third of the sweets before stopping as he was feeling sick. The next day he ate
Leona [9271]

Answer: Initially, he had 27 sweets.

Step-by-step explanation: The most logical approach is to work backwards from what remained after the third day to the start of the first day.

On the third day, he consumed one-third of his sweets and was left with 8. If we let the total sweets on day three be denoted as a, then one-third of a equals what he ate and the two-thirds left equals 8, giving us:

8/a = 2/3

By cross-multiplying, we find:

8 x 3 = 2a

Therefore, 24 = 2a

This leads to a = 12.

Let the sweets on day two be represented as b. If he consumed one-third of b and was left with 12, we have the same structure; hence:

12/b = 2/3

Cross-multiplying gives:

12 x 3 = 2b

So, 36 = 2b, leading to b = 18.

Denote the number of sweets on day one as x. If one-third of x was eaten and 18 remained, we can set up the equation:

18/x = 2/3

Again, cross-multiplying results in:

18 x 3 = 2x

Which simplifies to 54 = 2x, yielding x = 27.

Thus, Tim received 27 sweets at the start.
