Answer:

$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

The slope of the line will be – 1/5. Then the correct option is B.

<h3>What is the equation of line?</h3>

The equation of line is given as

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Take two point from the graph.

(0, 2) and (1, –3)

Then the slope will be

m = (2 – (–3)) / (0 – 1)

m = 5 / (–1)

m = – 1/5

Then the correct option is B.

The water at the end of a pier was 28 meters deep at midnight. As the tide came in, the water depth increased at a rate of 0.012
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

  0.012t + 28 = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The depth starts at 28 meters. The amount of increase in t minutes will be 0.012t, so the total depth after t minutes is ...

  0.012t +28

We want to find when that is equal to 30, so the appropriate equation is ...

  0.012t +28 = 30

Answer:

2.5% and 2.5 · 10^-3, 0.25, 2/5, √5

Step-by-step explanation:

0.25, 2/5, 2.5 · 10^-3, 2.5%, √5

Now let's list them all in the same form, why not decimals.

0.25 = 0.25

2/5 = 4/10 = 40/100 = 0.4

2.5 · 10^-3 = 2.5 · 0.01 = 0.025

2.5% = 0.025

√5 ≅ 2.236
