If an item has a retail price = $475 and a discount of $45, what percentage discount is offered?
1 answer:
Answer:
A 9.47% discount was given
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking us to find how much percent of 475 is 45. Therefore we do the following:
after dividing we get 9.473 which is approximately 9.47%
To check if what we got is correct we do the opposite and instead find 9.47% of 475.
After dividing we find that is equal to 44.98 which is approximately 45.

26x-67-x²
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given
Expanding (x-8)²=x²-16x+64
10x-3-(x²-16x+64)
10x-3-x²+16x-64
26x-67-x²
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember the general form of a linear equartion: y=mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0).
The equation of line v (y=9x+1) has a slope of 9. A perpendicular line with have a slope equal to the negative inverse of the reference line. So the line we want will have a slope of -(1/9). That gives us y = -(1/9)x + b. Any vale of b will produce a line that is perpendicular. But we want a line that goes through point (3,-2). All we need to do is find a value for b that will make that wish come true.
Use the point (3,-2) in y = -(1/9)x + b and solve for b:
y = -(1/9)x + b
-2 = -(1/9)*(3) + b
-2 = -(1/3) + b
b = - 1 2/3, or -(5/3)
The equation is y = -(1/9)x + - (5/3)
