The sweater cost more originally. It costs $2.50 more from jacket.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Discount rate of sweater = 20%

Sale price of sweater = (100-20)% = 80%

Discount rate of jacket = 15%

Sale price of jacket = (100-15)% = 85%

Sale price of each item = $34.00

Let,

x be the original price of sweater.

y be the original price of jacket.

80% of x = 34

\frac{80}{100}x=34\\0.80x=34

Dividing both sides by 0.80

\frac{0.80x}{0.80}=\frac{34}{0.80}\\x=42.50

The original price of sweater is $42.50

85% of y = 34

\frac{85}{100}y=34\\0.85y=34

Dividing both sides by 0.85

\frac{0.85y}{0.85}=\frac{34}{0.85}\\y=40

The original cost of jacket is $40

Difference = 42.50 - 40 = $2.50

The sweater cost more originally. It costs $2.50 more from jacket.

The first question would be distance from the start, as it is steadily going up as time goes on.

The second question would be distance from the end, as it is steadily going down as time goes on.

The third question would be speed, as the speed is staying stable as shown by the straight lines seen within the distance from start/end graphs being linear lines.

How many apples are left in the tree if you started with 18 and ended with 11
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Wouldn't it be 11? If the tree starts with 18 apples, and ends with 11, then that's it, it ends with 11 apples.

unless you just mis-typed, and meant 18-11. 7 would be the answer.

PLS I NEED HELP BRAINLIEST IS UP FOR GRABS
Gwar [14]

Answer:

(a) x > 4   (b) y < -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain is referring to the x-values while the range is referring to the y-values.

Since the function (the line) has a circle at the point (4, -2), the function will be exclusive at that coordinate.

The line goes to infinity for the x-values from 4, so you write x > 4 or ∞ > x > 4.

Similarly, the line goes to infinity for the y-values from -2, so you write y < -2 or -∞ < y < -2.
