80/100*n=16

80n=1600

n=1600/80=160/8=20

---------------------------------------

Original price: $20.00

The original price of the shorts would have been $19.20. To find this answer you would have to multiply and add.
First thing I did was turn 20% into a decimal by moving the decimal to the left 2 times.(.20)
Second thing I did was multiply 16.00*.20. Which came up to be 3.20.
The third thing that you would have to do is add 3.20 to the price Faye paid for the shorts.
3.20+16.00
And the original price would have came up to $19.20
Hope this helps:)

Find a formula for the nth term in this arithmetic sequence. a1=0, a2=0.5, a3=1, a4=1.5
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

nth term is;

0.5n-0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see, the first term is 0

The common difference is 0.5-0= 1-0.5 = 1.5-1 = 0.5

Formula for nth term of an arithmetic sequence is;

a + (n-1)d

So we have

0 + (n-1) 0.5

= 0.5n-0.5

Please help me with this:(

Answer:

Y = 32.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

We will apply the Cosine law in the given triangle XYZ,

x = 90 ft

y = 55 ft

z = 50 ft

We have to find the measure of angle Y.

y² = x² + z² - 2xzCosY

(55)² = (90)² + (50)² - 2(90)(50)cosY

3025 = 8100 + 2500 - 9000.cosY

9000.cosY = 10600 - 3025

cosY = \frac{7575}{9000}

        = 0.84167

Y = \text{cos}^{-1}(0.84167)

Y = 32.68 ≈ 32.7°

Therefore, measure of angle Y = 32.7°
