Answer:

(B) Segments MA and MB

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent to the circle at a point is perpendicular to the radius of the circle drawn to the point of tangency.

Tangent at a point is unique.

Since there can be no two tangents at a point on circle, the options (b) and (c) are ruled out.

Now, if OA is perpendicular to MA, MA is the tangent else if OA is perpendicular to PA, PA is the tangent. Same is the case with point B.

Tangents from the same external point has same length.

MA = MB since they are the radii of the same circle with center M.

Hence, MA and MB meet all the requirements of the tangents.

The book store is having a sale where all hardcover books are 20% off. Jamie also has a coupon for 15% off any fiction book. Jam
scoray [572]

You can use the fact that both 20% and 15% discounts will be merged to reduce 35% of the price of the book that Jamie buys.

By buying the book on sale and using the coupon, Jamie will save

Option B: $11.55

<h3>
How are discounts calculated for the case when its sale and we've got discount coupons too?</h3>

Suppose the sale gives p% off.

And the discount coupon provides q% off.

Then we have total discount applied on the cost of the object bought as

(p+q)%

<h3>How to find the percentage from the total value?</h3>

Suppose the value of which a thing is expressed in percentage is "a'

Suppose the percent that considered thing is of "a" is b%

Then since percent shows per 100 (since cent means 100), thus we will first divide the whole part in 100 parts and then we multiply it with b so that we collect b items per 100 items(that is exactly what b per cent means).

Thus, that thing in number is

\dfrac{a}{100} \times b

<h3>Using the above fact to calculate the amount that Jamie saved </h3>

Since the sale offers 20% discount and Jamie has got 15% discount coupon for any fiction book, thus, total 35% will be discounted if Jamie buys fiction book.

Since the price of the fiction book that Jamie brought is $32.99, thus,

Saved amount = 35% of $32.99 = \dfrac{32.99}{100} \times 35 = 0.3299 \times 35 \approx \$11.55

Thus,

By buying the book on sale and using the coupon, Jamie will save

Option B: $11.55

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of short sleeves sold is shown below:

Given that

The clothing store sold 98 long sleeve shirts

And, the ratio of short sleeve to long sleeve is 3:7

So, the number of short sleeves sold is

= 98 × 3 ÷ 7

= 42

Hence, the number of short sleeves sold is 42
