Answer:
30% discount
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percent discount write a proportion.

Cross multiply numerator with denominator of each fraction to solve for x.
1344(100) = 1920(x)
134400 = 1920x
70 = x
This means you pay 70% of the price. The discount was 30%.
Answer:
4 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
Total length of lumber = 9 feet
How many 2 1/4 foot pieces can you cut from this piece of lumber
To find the number of 2 1/4 foot pieces of lumber in a 9 feet of lumber, we will divide the total length of lumber by the length of each piece of lumber
9 ÷ 2 1/4
= 9 ÷ 9/4
= 9 × 4/9
= 36/9
= 4 pieces of lumber
Therefore, 4 pieces of 2 1/4 foot of lumber can be gotten from 9 feet of lumber

This is adding two vectors, one magnitude 300 direction east, and one magnitude 100 direction 30 degrees northeast.
For the resulting sum we can use the Law of Cosines or just add up the components. Let's try it both ways.
Components first. In the east direction we have
300 + 100 cos 30° = 300 + 100(√3/2) = 386.60 miles per hour
In the north direction we have
0 + 100 sin 30° = 100 (1/2) = 50 miles per hour
So a total speed of
sqrt{386.6^2 + 50^2} = 389.82 miles per hour
Answer: 389.82
--------
OK let's try the Law of Cosines. We have sides 300 and 100 and included angle 150°.
