$12 is the sale price of shirt.

Explanation:

Calculate the percentage of sale

\sf \rightarrow \sf \dfrac{15}{20}  *100

\sf \rightarrow \sf 75 \%

Then find the sale price of shirt

original price * percentage of sale

$16 * 75%

$12

Answer:

$12

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Method 1</u></h3>

First, calculate the sale discount as a percentage using the given information about the pants.

  • $20 = Original price of pants
  • $15 = Sale price of pants

\sf percent\:change=\dfrac{|final\:value-initial\:value|}{initial\:value} \times 100

\implies \sf percent\:change=\dfrac{|15-20|}{20} \times 100=25\%

Therefore, the clothes are on sale with a 25% discount.

This means they are 75% of the original sale price, as 100% - 25% = 75%

To find the sale price of the shirt, we simply need to find 75% of the original selling price of the shirt:

  75% of $16

= 0.75 × $16

= $12

<h3><u>Method 2</u></h3>

Using ratios of original price : sale price, where x is the sale price of the shirt:

pants → 20 : 15

shirt → 16 : x

Therefore, as the ratios are the same:

   20 : 15 = 16 : x

⇒ 20/15 = 16/x

⇒ 20x = 16 · 15

⇒ 20x = 240

⇒ x = 240 ÷ 20

⇒ x = 12

Select the ordered pairs that satisfy the equation y=1/5x.Check all that apply.
vovikov84 [41]

Answer: C, E, F

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Plug in the "x" and "y" values from the ordered pairs into the equation.
  2. For A: 3 = \frac{1(5)}{5} → 3 ≠ 1 → A is eliminated.
  3. For B: 5 = \frac{1(1)}{5} → 5 ≠ \frac{1}{5} → B is eliminated.
  4. For C: 2 = \frac{1(10)}{5} → 2 = 2 → C satisfies the equation.
  5. For D: 10 = \frac{1(4)}{5}→ 10 ≠ \frac{4}{5} → D is eliminated.
  6. For E: -1 = \frac{1(-5)}{5}→ -1 = -1 → E satisfies the equation.
  7. For F: 3 = \frac{1(15)}{5}→ 3 = 3 → F satisfies the equation.
  8. Therefore, C, E, and F are the answers.
