<h3>Answer:  $59.25</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

There are two approaches

Method 1

25% of 79 = 0.25*79 = 19.75

Mary saves $19.75 and the price before tax is 79 - 19.75 = 59.25

-----------------------------

Method 2

She saves 25% so she must pay the remaining 75%

75% of 79 = 0.75*79 = 59.25

This is a slight shortcut, and it's very useful when it comes to chaining multiple discounts together.

Step-by-step explanation:

Turn the ratio into a fraction

2in /25 mi

You want to have miles so you can flip the fraction and mutiply to cancel out the inches

(25mi / 2in) x 5in = (25 mi x 5in) / 2in

In equilateral ΔABC, AD, BE, and CF are medians. If FO = 4, then AE = A) 4 B) 4 3 C) 8 D) 12
vampirchik [111]

Firstly, we need to draw triangle

we know that

O is a centroid

and centroid divides median into 2:1

so,

\frac{CO}{FO} =\frac{2}{1}

we have FO=4

so, we can plug it

\frac{CO}{4} =\frac{2}{1}

CO=8

now, we can find CF

CF=OC+FO

CF=8+4

CF=12

now, we can see triangle ACF is a right angled triangle

so, we can use pythagoras theorem

x^2=(\frac{x}{2} )^2+12^2

now, we can solve for x

\frac{3x^2}{4}=144

x^2=192

x=8\sqrt{3}

Since, it is equilateral triangle

so,

AC=x=8\sqrt{3}

we know that

E is a mid-point

so,

AE=\frac{AC}{2}

now, we can plug values

AE=\frac{8\sqrt{3}}{2}

AE=4\sqrt{3}................Answer
