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

Find the distance between the two points.<br> (-6, -7) and (154, - 43)
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

(160, 36)

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance is always positive because, well, you aren't -50 meters away from your house or something. You are just 50 meters away from your house. And 160 is the distance between -6 and 154, because there is one minus and one plus, you add them, because that is how far they are apart, and then-43 and -7 were easy just subtract them.

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line that has a slope of 5 and contains the point (-1,2)
Cloud [144]

Answer:

y - 2 = 5(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form is

y-y1 = m(x-x1)  where m is the slope and ( x1,y1) is a point on the line

y - 2 = 5(x- -1)

y - 2 = 5(x+1)
