Sally went to the clearance rack at a department store and found a shirt she wanted to buy. The shirt was $36.00 and is on sale

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

33.34%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The actual price of the shirt = $36

Price on sale = $24

We need to find the percent of the decrease. The formula for the percentage is given by :

$\%=\dfrac{|\text{actual value-estimated value}|}{\text{actual value}}\times 100$

Putting all the values,

$\%=\dfrac{24-36}{36}\times 100\\\\=33.34\%$

So, the percentage decrease in the price of the shirt is 33.34%.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is three times the length of one of its legs. The length of the other leg is four feet. Find

Elis [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the other leg = x

x^2 + 4^2 = (3x)^2

x^2 + 4^2 = 9x^2

4^2 = 9x^2 - x^2

16= 8x^2

16/8 = x^2

x^2 = 2

x = sqrt(2)

The lengths of the sides

x = sqrt(2)

other side =4

hypotenuse = 3*sqrt(2)

x = 1.4

other side= 4

hypotenuse = 3*1.4142

hypotenuse = 4.2
