Answer:6.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use 50 cents as the price of the item
Two for the price of one = $.50 for two (or $.25 each)
Three for the price of two = $1.00 for 3 or approximately $.33 each
Buy one get 25% off the 2nd means $.50 + (.125 which is 25% of $.50) for a total of $.625 or about $.63 ($.315 or about $.32 each)
Buy Two get 50% off the 2nd means $.50 for the first and $.25 for the 2nd for a total of $.75 or $.375 - about $.38 each
We can see that two for the price of one is the best value since you save $.25 off of $.50 (that's half) and that buy two get 50% off the 2nd is the smallest price reduction since the $.50 item only goes down to $.38 or twelve cents off.
This would work no matter what the cost of the item. The savings would still be in the same proportions.
Answer:
x=41
y=139
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y = 180 since they form a straight line
y is 3x +16
y = 3x +16
Replace y in the first equation
x+3x +16 = 180
Combine like terms
4x +16 = 180
Subtract 16 from each side
4x+16-16 =180-16
4x =164
Divide each side by 4
4x/4 =164/4
x = 41
y = 3x +16
y = 3*41 +16 = 123+16 =139
Answer: y= (x+2)² −

Step-by-step explanation:
The way I got this answer is by completing the square. The first step though, when looking at this equation, is to see if we can factor it. The way to check is to look at the coefficient for x² which is 1, and the constant, in this case -1. If we multiply those together, we get −. Now we look at the middle term, 4x. We need to find any numbers that multiply to equal − 1x² and add to 4x. There aren't any, which means it is not factorable.
Hope I helped
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Upon factoring all terms we are left with the product of
[(x-4)(x+6)(x-6)]/[5(x-6)(3x+5)(x-4)]
The (x-4)s and (x-6)s cancel out and we are left with
(x+6)/(5(3x+5)) which is also equal to
(x+6)/(15x+25)
