How do you take a percentage off a price?

Procedure:
Get the original price: 79.57
<span>The rate is usually given as a percent: 12%
To find the discount, multiply the rate by the original price: (79.57 x 12) / 100 = 9.54
<span>To find the sale price, subtract the discount from original price: 79.57 - 9.54 = 70.03

Now add the tax of 7.75% on the sales price, 

Tax on sales price = (70.03 x 7.75) / 100 = 5.42
Total cost of item = 70.03 + 5.42 = 75.45.

79.57 times 12% = 70.02
70.02 times 7.75% = 5.43
70.02 plus 5.43 = 75.43

one x-intercept for a parabola is at the point (2, 0). use the quadratic formula to find the other x-intercept for the parabola
omeli [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 ways to find the other x intercept.

1) Polynomial Long Division.

Divide x^2 - 3x + 2 by the binomial x - 2, because by the Factor Theorem if a is a root of a polynomial then x - a is a factor of said polynomial.

2) Just solving for x when y = 0, by using the quadratic formula.

x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0\\x_{12} = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9 - 4(1)(2)}}{2} = \frac{3 \pm 1}{2} = 2, 1.

So the other x - intercept is at (1, 0)

3) Using Vietta's Theorem regarding the solutions of a quadratic

Namely, the sum of the solutions of a quadratic equation is equal to the quotient between the negative coefficient of the linear term divided by the coefficient of the quadratic term.

x_1 + x_2 = \frac{-b}{a}

And the product between the solutions of a quadratic equation is just the quotient between the constant term and the coefficient of the quadratic term.

x_1 \cdot x_2 = \frac{c}{a}

These relations between the solutions give us a brief idea of what the solutions should be like.

50 POINTS!!! jamie will choose between two catering companies for an upcoming party. company A chargers a set-up fee of $500 plu
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

60 guests

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll say that the number of guests is n.

We're looking for the n where both of these expressions are equal:

Company A (500 set-up fee, 25 for each guest)

500 + 25 * n

Company B (200 set-up fee, 30 for each guest)

200 + 30 * n

500 + 25n = 200 + 30n

Subtract 200 from both sides.

300 + 25n = 30n

Subtract 25n from both sides.

300 = 5n

We'll reverse the sides.

5n = 300

Divide both sides by 5.

n = 300/5 = 60

Thus, both companies are equal when n is 60, or when there are 60 guests.
