Notebooks cost $1.20 each. This weekend they will be $.80 What percentage is the sale?

2 answers:

The sale is 33% off notebooks. This can be found by first subtracting .8 from 1.2

1.2-.8=.4 Now divide .4 by 1.2 to get your answer.

$\frac{.4}{1.2}$ =.33

.33=33%

You can also solve this mentally because if you know your basic multiplication tables, 3*4=12 and so $\frac{2}{3}$ of 12 would equal 8.

Does you understand it now?

In the question it is already given that the actual cost of each notebook is $1.20. For the weekend, the notebooks would sold at a discounted rate of $0.80
he
The amount of discount during the weekend = (1.20 - 0.80) dollars
   = 0.40 dollars
So the amount of discount given during the weekend is $0.40
Now we need to find the percentage of discount given during the weekend.
Then
Percentage of discount during the weekend = (0.40/1.20) * 100
   = 0.33 * 100
   = 33
Then the percentage of discount given is 33%.

Help on both please !!! don't give me irrelevant answers pls

Answer:

< 1 is 85

X= 50

Step-by-step explanation:

ok the first question has 2 angles given 60 and 65

consider this one shows a 90 degree angle and the other does not. so 60 plus 90 equals 150 degrees

the u must say 65 plus x (x being angle 1) must also equal 150

subtract 65 from 150 and you get 85

now the second problem lets use the

Exterior Angle Theorem

The measure of an exterior angle (our w) of a triangle equals to the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles (our x and y) of the triangle.

using this we know the 40 degree angle and 2x + 20 equals 3x plus 10

so we subtract 10 degrees from both sides and get

2x plus 10 plus 40 equals 3x now this means x equals 10 plus 40 which is 50

A 15% discount saves you $5 off the price of an electronic game. How much do you save off the regular price if the discount is w

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The 45% off discount saves an additional $10 compared to the 15% discount for a total of $15 off regular price.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the original price of the game through a proportion. A proportion is an equation where two ratios or fractions are equal. The ratios or fractions compare like quantities. For example, we will compare percent over percent to an equal ratio of $ to $. Since 15% of 100% is the same ratio as $5 to the unknown original $ price, I write:

$\frac{15}{100} =\frac{5}{y}$

I can now cross-multiply by multiplying numerator and denominator from each ratio.

$15y=100(5)\\15y=500$

I now solve for y by dividing by 15.

$\frac{15y}{15} =\frac{500}{15} \\y= 33.33333....$

The original price was $33.34.

Now, we can find the amount if 45% off and then then compare the two discounts. To find the percent off I can multiply by 0.45(33.34)=15. The 45% off discount saves an additional $10 compared to the 15% discount.

If f(x)=5x^2 and g(x)=x+1 find (f•g)

LenKa [72]

(f•g)= f(1)•g(1)

= 5(1)^2 • (1)+1

= 5(1) • 2

= 5 • 2

= 10

Your answer here is 10.

Hope I helped!
