A store sells flower arrangements at a cost of $28 each. Which statements are true regarding the price of the arrangements? Chec

k all that apply.
If the price is marked down by 10 percent, the new price will be $25.20.

If the price is marked down by 25 percent, the new price will be $21.00.

If the price is marked down by 50 percent, the new price will be $19.00.

If the price is marked down by 35 percent, the new price will be $18.20.

If the price is marked down by 40 percent, the new price will be $29.80.

Let's check each case to determine the solution to the problem.

we know that

The cost of each flower arrangements is $\$28$

Statements

<u>case A)</u> If the price is marked down by $10$ percent, the new price will be $\$25.20$

we know that

If the price is marked down by $10$ percent

then

the new price will be

$10\%= \frac{10}{100} =0.10$

$(1-0.10)*\$28=0.90*\$28 \\= \$25.20$

$\$25.20=\$25.20$

therefore

The statement case A) is True

<u>case B)</u> If the price is marked down by $25$ percent, the new price will be $\$21$

we know that

If the price is marked down by $25$ percent

then

the new price will be

$25\%= \frac{25}{100} =0.25$

$(1-0.25)*\$28=0.75*\$28 \\= \$21$

$\$21=\$21$

therefore

The statement case B) is True

<u>case C)</u> If the price is marked down by $50$ percent, the new price will be $\$19$

we know that

If the price is marked down by $50$ percent

then

the new price will be

$50\%= \frac{50}{100} =0.50$

$(1-0.50)*\$28=0.50*\$28 \\= \$14$

$\$14 \neq \$19$

therefore

The statement case C) is False

<u>case D)</u> If the price is marked down by $35$ percent, the new price will be $\$18.20$

we know that

If the price is marked down by $35$ percent

then

the new price will be

$35\%= \frac{35}{100} =0.35$

$(1-0.35)*\$28=0.65*\$28 \\= \$18.20$

$\$18.20=\$18.20$

therefore

The statement case D) is True

<u>case E)</u> If the price is marked down by $40$ percent, the new price will be $\$29.80$

we know that

If the price is marked down by $40$ percent

then

the new price will be

$40\%= \frac{40}{100} =0.40$

$(1-0.40)*\$28=0.60*\$28 \\= \$16.80$

$\$16.80 \neq \$29.80$

therefore

The statement case E) is False

For what value of a do the lines 5x–2y=3 and x+y=a intersect at a point on the y-axis?

inna [77]

Answer:

a = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set x=0 and solve for y to find the y-intercept in each case.

first equation: y-intercept = -3/2

second equation: y-intercept = a

To make these equal, we must have ...

a = -3/2

Calculate the volume of each of the following prisms.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

The Rectangular prism in the top-left corner is 11,760. The top-middle rectangular prism is 7,938. The top-right rectangular prism is 4,851. The shape that is orange and pink I don't know what it is. The triangular prism on the middle of the page is 11.781. The blue cylinder is 38,936. The green rectangular prism is 23,125. The "clear" rectangular prism on the bottom row is 31,668. The rectangular prism in the bottom right corner is 14,688. That is all, I'm almost 100 percent sure they are all right!

Alaska has a coastline of about 6.64 thousand miles. Florida has about 1.35 thousand miles of coastline. How many times more mil

victus00 [196]

All you need to do is divide 6.64 and 1.35. you would get 4.91851852. But, you need to round to the nearest tenth so it would actually be 4.9.

8x-5y=15 <br>6x+4y=43<br>solve the system by any method

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

$x=\frac{275}{62}$ , $y=\frac{127}{31}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>I will use the elimination method.</h3>

We want to make the X's the same:

$24x-15y=45$

$24x+16y=172$

Because the signs of the X's are the same we subtract the 2 equations to make:

(I put the second one on top of the 1st)

$31y=127$

So:

$y=\frac{127}{31}$

Substitute y into either equation 1 or 2:

(I chose equation 1)

$8x-5(\frac{127}{31})=15$

$8x=5(\frac{127}{31}) + 15$

$x=\frac{5(\frac{127}{31})}{8}$

So:

$x=\frac{275}{62}$

Identify the vertex, focus, and directrix. y=1/8y^2

Brut [27]

If all the equations for the directrix are "x = " lines then this is a y^2 parabola. The actual equation is $x= \frac{1}{8}y^2$ . The standard form for a positive sideways-opening parabola is $(y-k)^2=4p(x-h)$ . We know from the equation that the vertex of the parabola is at the origin, or else the translation would be reflected within the parenthesis in the equation. Our equation has no parenthesis to indicate movement from the origin. The vertex is (0, 0). Got that out of the way. That simplifies our standard form down to $y^2=4p(x)$ . Let's take a look at our equation now. It is $x= \frac{1}{8}y^2$ . We could rewrite it and make it a closer match to the standard form if we multiply both sides by 8 to get rid of the fraction. That gives us an equation that looks like this: $y^2=8x$ . That means that 4p = 8, and p = 2. p is the distance that the focus and the directrix are from the vertex. Since this is a positive parabola, it opens up to the right. Which means, then, that the focus is to the right of the vertex, 2 units to be exact, and the directrix is 2 units to the left of the vertex. The formula for the focus is (h + p, k). Our h is 0, our k is 0 and our p is 2, so the coordinates of the focus are (2, 0). Going 2 units to the left of the origin then puts our directrix at the line x = -2. Your choice then as your answer is b.
