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.

Answer (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The graph represents the relation between the numbers

   of calories and the total amount in fat in different types

   of sandwiches

∵ Both values increase together

∴ Correlation is Positive

∵ If you draw the line best fit to check if it's strong or weak

  Most of point will be on the line

∴ The points have a positive trend and are most likely linear

∴ The answer is (C)

Which expression is equivalent to (x^2 -8) - (-2x^2+4)?​
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

D) 3x^2 - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Using PEMDAS;

There is no need to evaluate the part of the equation (x^2 - 8) because is no need to, as it is already in its simplest form.

We must evaluate the part of the equation continuing with, "- (-2x^2+4)," as it is not in its simplest form.

Evaluating "- (-2x^2+4)":

Step 1: Distributing the negative

Once distributing the negative symbol amongst the values within the parenthesis according to PEMDAS, we get "2x^2 - 4" as the product.

Step 2: Consider the rest of the equation to evaluate

Since the part of the equation is still in play here as it is a part of the original equation to be solved, we must evaluate it as a whole to get the final answer.

Thus,

x^2 -8 + 2x^2 - 4 = ___

*we can remove the parenthesis as it has no purpose, since it makes no difference.

Evaluating for the answer, we get,

x^2+2x^2 + (-8 - 4) = 3x^2 - 12

Hence, the answer is D) 3x^2 - 12.

Which expression is equivalent to square root 55x^7 y^6/11x^11 y^8? Assume x > 0 and y > 0.
morpeh [17]
The first step for solving this expression is to reduce the fraction with 11.
\sqrt{ \frac{5 x^{7} y^{6}  }{ x^{11}  y^{8} } }
Now reduce the fraction with x^{7}.
\sqrt{ \frac{5 y^{6} }{ x^{4} y^{8}  } }
Reduce the fraction one more time with y^{6}.
\sqrt{ \frac{5}{ x^{4} y^{2}  } }
To take the root of a fraction,, we must take the root of the numerator and denominator separately. This rule will change the expression to the following:
\frac{ \sqrt{5} }{ x^{2} y}
Since we cannot simplify this fraction any further,, the final answer is going to be \frac{ \sqrt{5} }{ x^{2} y}.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
