Define the original cost as 100%.

So £16=85% (100-15) of the original cost.

Find 1% of the original cost by dividing both sides by 85.

The first thing to note is that if 3/5 are female, that leaves 2/5 to be male. This is because al...

let sin(x)=u , let cos(x)=v

du/dx = cos(x),   dv/dx = -sin(x)

d[sin(x)cos(x)]/dx = v.du/dx + u.dv/dx

= cos^2(x) - sin^2(x)

The probability they wear glasses is 3/7, which means the probability they don't is 1-3/7=4/7. This means 164 students make up 4/7 of the school. To find the number that wear glasses we need to find how m...
