Answer:
The 2nd paragraph has the straightforward answer, technically.
This is an example of gross domestic product and today's marketing. When a product is usually paid more money to manufacture than it costs to actually sell. However, the usual difference between manufacturing cost and sales cost is on average is at most 5 - 15% of the manufacturing cost.
The second problem however is just the perfect example of sales and sales tax. The diamond ring is on sale for 30% off in this case, because 290 divided by its percent is equal to 30%, the remaining amount.
Pythagoras was the greek geometer.
14 / 20 total slices = 7 / 10, which is 0.7 if you're looking for a decimal.
That's 70% of the pizza, which I would eat by myself.
If C is the MIDPOINT of BD, and BD equals 12, then what does CD equal?
AD = AC+CD, so you only need to find length of CD and add length of AC (which you already have) to it.
Hope this helps
