Ok
so paid 16
20% off
original-20%=16
that means the shorts were 100-20=80% of the original cost

percent means parts out of 100
80%=80/100=0.80

16=0.8 of ogirinal cost
'of' means mutpliy
16=0.8 times original
divide both sides by 0.8
16/0.8=ogirinal
20==originall

$20=original price

A newly established clothing shop analyzed their monthly profit compared to the amount spent on advertising each month. The foll
Reil [10]
The maximum profit is the highest point on the curve at (3, 45), and since the y-value is the profit in hundreds of dollars, the maximum profit is $4500.
The shop is making a profit as long as the curve is above the x-axis, so this is over the given interval (0, 10).
The maximum profit is earned at x = 3, and the x-value is the money spent on advertising in hundreds of dollars, so this means that $300 was spent of advertising.

If the length of JK is 3x and the length of LM is 12x and the length of the entire line JM is 25x , find the length of KL.
Leona [35]

Answer:

10x.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

JK = 3x

LM = 12x

JM = 25x

Let as consider the line as shown in the below figure.

From the figure it is clear that,

JK+KL+LM=JM

3x+KL+12x=25x

KL+15x=25x

KL=25x-15x

KL=10x

Therefore, the length of KL is 10x.

Question 13 plz show ALL STEPS so I can learn thnx
evablogger [386]

Answer:

  a) (x³ -x² +x +2) +2/(x+1)

  b) (x² +2x -5) +6/(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Polynomial long division is virtually identical to numerical long division, except that the quotient term does not require any guessing. It is simply the ratio of the leading terms of the dividend and divisor. As with numerical long division, the product of the quotient term and the divisor is subtracted from the dividend to form the new dividend for the next step.

The process stops when the dividend is of lower degree than the divisor.

In part (a), you need to make sure the dividend expression has all of the powers of x present. This means terms 0x³ and 0x² must be added as placeholders in the given dividend. They will become important as the work progresses.
