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:  Slope: -1/2  

Step-by-step explanation:  To find slope take 2 points that lie on the line and use this formula to solve:  <em> </em>I will use (0, -2) and (2, -3) to solve

                                                                       ↑    ↑           ↑   ↑

y2 - y1                                                             x1  y1          x2  y2

-----------

x2 - x1

So, for this question, substitute the x and y values from the points above to solve.

-3 - (-2)      

----------- =  - 1/2

2 - 0

Hope this helped. :)

What is equivalent to 3x-4y=6
Andreyy89

Answer:

y= (3/4) x - (3/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 4y = 6 (using algebra add the 4y to the other side & subtract the 6 to the other side >> 3x - 6 = 4y (then divide everything by 4 to get y by itself) >> 3/4x - 6/4 = y (then simplify) >> 3/4x - 3/2 = y
