Hello there! I can help you! So we are decreasing a price by 12% and then doing it again by 5%. We would pay 88% of the original price and then 95% of that sale price. To execute this better, let's make a real-world situation. Say that Mariana wants to buy a new pair of shoes that originally costed $100. The store has a tag for 12% off and then an additional 5% discount at the counter. How much would she pay for the shoes? What total discount does she get? Let's start by multiplying 100 by 88%. 100 * 88% (0.88) is 88. That's the first part. Now, we multiply that number by 95% to find the price at the counter. 88 * 95% (0.95) is 83.6. That's the price with both discounts. Mariana would pay $83.60 for the shoes, but what about the percent discount total? Let's subtract that price from 100 and see what we get. 100 - 83.6 is 16.4. Percents are parts of 100, so we don't need to do anymore simplifying. There. The total amount of discount is 16.4%.

Find the volume of a rectangular prism with the width of x-1, a length of x+1 and a height of 2x-3.
Damm [24]

Answer:

The Volume is equal to 2x^3-3x^2+2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is V=WHL

We know that:

W=x-1

L=x+1

H=2x-3

So, V= (x-1)(x-1)(2x-3)

Simplify

(x^2+1)(2x-3)

2x^3-3x^2+2x-3

Find the value of the variable if P is between J&amp;K<br> JP=8z-17; PK=5z+37; JK=17z-4
pochemuha
Because P it between J and K it means that JP+PK = JK. That means:
8z-17+5z+37=17z-4
13z+20=17z-4
4z=24
z=6

<span>The value of the variable is 6.</span>
