A department store sells logo shirts at an original price of $20. Every month that a shirt doesn’t sell, the store reduces the s

elling price by 25%. The store employees get a 50% markdown off the current price. Macy works at the store and sees the shirts going into the second markdown month. She decides that since 25% + 25% + 50% = 100%, the shirts must be free to employees. What is Macy’s error?

Answer: The pre-tax price of the shirt for Macy will be $5.63

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Original price = 20

reduces selling price by 25% every month it's not sold.


First markdown month:

20 * (100%-25%) = 20 * 75% = 15


Second markdown month

15 * 75% = 11.25


Macy, employee gets a 50% discount off the current price.

11.25 * 50% = 5.625

11.25 - 5.625 = 5.625 or 5.63

hope it helps! :)

Answer:

teacher's response

Step-by-step explanation:

Macy was calculating the employee price off the original amount each time instead of off the new selling price each month. Macy cannot add up all the discounts; she must apply them one by one.

Tangent line i think please help me find x
Alex

Answer:

x= 6.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

When a tangent line touches the circle, it forms a right angle triangle at that point

Apply the Pythagorean relationship in this case

Given that the height is = 20.2 cm = b

The hypotenuse is = c= x+14.7 cm

General formulae is;

a² +b² =c²

x² + 20.2² =( x+ 14.7)²

x² + 408.04= x² +14.7x+14.7x+216.09

x² + 408.04= x² + 29.4 x +216.09.........................collect like terms

x²-x² + 408.04-216.09= 29.4x

191.95= 29.4x-------------------------------divide by 29.4 t0 get x

191.95/29.4 =x

x=6.5 cm
