Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

What you are asking is to fill in the blank in the following sentence.

_______ % off this imported futon.

Solution

500 x/100 = 425       Divide the left by 100

5x = 425                    Divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 425/5             Simplify

x = 85

That is not the answer. That is the % paid.

The reduction is 100% - 85% = 15%

So your blank would contain 15%

Check

15% of 500 = 15/100 * 500 = 75 which is what they the store is offering you off.

Amount earned in compound interest = P(1 + r)^n; where P is the principal, r is the rate and n is the number of periods.

Amount = 3,000(1 + 14%)^6 = 3,000(1 + 0.14)^6 = 3,000(1.14)^6 = $6,584.91

Harriet rode her bike 2 1/4 miles to the mall. She then rode 3/4 mile to the grocery store. She came back the way she went. How
vlabodo [156]
In order to solve this problem you have to add the distance Harriet traveled away from her starting point which is 2 1/4+3/4. Then you should end up with 3 miles. After that it says she went back on the same route so you have to double the distance. So in total she rode 6 miles.

As given

The price of a visit to the dentist is $50.

If the dentist fills any cavities, an additional charge of $100 per cavity gets added to the bill.

If the dentist n cavities .

Let us assume that the total cost of the visit to dentist be T.

A line that includes the point (4,1) has a slope of 1 7 . What is its equation in point-slope form?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

y = 17x-67

Step-by-step explanation:

The one point form of line also called slope point form is given by

(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)

where (x1, y1) is the point and m is slope

Given: (x1, y1) = (4,1) and m= 17

Substituting these values in above equation to find equation in point-slope form

(y-1)=17(x-4)

y-1 = 17x-68

y = 17x-67

the point -slope form of equation y = 17x-67
