Answer:the price of jeans now is $12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the current price of the jeans. At the local department store, jeans are typically priced at $15. It means that the original price of the jeans is $15 .
Due to a special, the jeans are reduced to 80% of their original price. This means that the original price was reduced by 20%. Therefore, the current price, x would be
x = 15 - (20/100 × 15) = 15 - 3
x = $12
Okay first set up the equation
x
--- -2 = 5.5
-3
add over the 2
x
--- = 7.5
-3
now you need to multiply the denominator by the answer
(-3)(7.5) = x
-22.5 = x
Answer:
x=-4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
40 dollars the answer is 40!!!
see the attached figure with the letters
1) find m(x) in the interval A,BA (0,100) B(50,40) -------------- > p=(y2-y1(/(x2-x1)=(40-100)/(50-0)=-6/5
m=px+b---------- > 100=(-6/5)*0 +b------------- > b=100
mAB=(-6/5)x+100
2) find m(x) in the interval B,CB(50,40) C(100,100) -------------- > p=(y2-y1(/(x2-x1)=(100-40)/(100-50)=6/5
m=px+b---------- > 40=(6/5)*50 +b------------- > b=-20
mBC=(6/5)x-20
3)
find n(x) in the interval A,BA (0,0) B(50,60) -------------- > p=(y2-y1(/(x2-x1)=(60)/(50)=6/5
n=px+b---------- > 0=(6/5)*0 +b------------- > b=0
nAB=(6/5)x
4) find n(x) in the interval B,CB(50,60) C(100,90) -------------- > p=(y2-y1(/(x2-x1)=(90-60)/(100-50)=3/5
n=px+b---------- > 60=(3/5)*50 +b------------- > b=30
nBC=(3/5)x+30
5) find h(x) = n(m(x)) in the interval A,B
mAB=(-6/5)x+100
nAB=(6/5)x
then
n(m(x))=(6/5)*[(-6/5)x+100]=(-36/25)x+120
h(x)=(-36/25)x+120
find <span>h'(x)
</span>h'(x)=-36/25=-1.44
6) find h(x) = n(m(x)) in the interval B,C
mBC=(6/5)x-20
nBC=(3/5)x+30
then
n(m(x))=(3/5)*[(6/5)x-20]+30 =(18/25)x-12+30=(18/25)x+18
h(x)=(18/25)x+18
find h'(x)
h'(x)=18/25=0.72
for the interval (A,B) h'(x)=-1.44
for the interval (B,C) h'(x)= 0.72
<span> h'(x) = 1.44 ------------ > not exist</span>
