Answer:
both statements are fine
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the price of a product after decreasing it, they can be done in the two ways that the statement tells us,
First, calculate that% that was decreased and then subtract it from the original price or simply multiply that original price by the percentage in which the new price would remain.
For example:
let "x" be the original price
in the first case it would be:
0.2 * x and then subtract from x, i.e .:
x - 0.2 * x
in the second case it is:
1 - 0.2 = 0.8
that is, the new price would be 0.8 * x
Answer: It is $42.4
Step-by-step explanation: Multiply (0.20)(53), you get 10.6, now that's the price that is discounted, so subtract that from the total, to get $42.4. If you want to check your answer, do 42.4/53 and you would get 0.80, or 80%. That is what you should get since you have a 20% discount from 100% of a product.
There are 12 inches in a foot and if a yard is 3 feet then do:
3 x 12 and you get 36in
So there are 36 inches in a yard
Choose a counterexample that proves that the conjecture below is false.. abc is a right triangle, so angle A measures 90 degrees.
Answer: Out of all the options shown above the one that represents the counterexample that proves that the conjecture presented above is false is answer choice 2. Angle b is 90 degrees. The reason being that in a right angle there is only one angle that measures 90 degrees.
I hope it helps, Regards.
Percent decrease=(decrease)/(original) converted to percent
change=120 to 52
120-52=68
change or decrease=68
original=120
68/120=0.5666666=56.6666%
about 57%
