We are given original selling price of book = $b.

Price is marked down by 46%.

46% can be written as 46/100 in decimals it would be 0.46.

Therefore, markdown as a decimal is 0.46

Now, markdown is 0.46 of original price = 0.46b

Therefore, new price after marked down can be written by expression =

b - 0.46b = 0.56b.

<h3>Therefore, the expression for the sale price of the hardcover book is 0.56b.</h3>

If original retail price was = $29.00.

The sale price would be 0.56b = 29*0.56 = $15.66.

Total saving = 29-15.66 = $13.34.

Therefore, you save $13.34 by paying the sale price $15.66.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use any two pairs from the table of values, say (0, 3) and (2, 11).

Slope = ∆y/∆x

Slope = $\frac{11 - 3}{2 - 0}$

Slope = $\frac{8}{2}$

Slope = 4

Solve each equation by factoring.<br> (x – 7)(2x - 3) = 0

Orlov [11]

Answer:

x = 7 and 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can say:

x - 7 = 0 and 2x - 3 = 0

<em>Lets solve for x - 7 = 0 first:</em>

Add 7 to each side of "="

=> <u>x = 7</u>

<em>Now lets solve for 2x - 3 = 0</em>

First add 3 to each side of "="

=> 2x = 3

Now divide each side by 2

<u>=> x = 3/2</u>

Hope this helps!

The value of a new truck decreases exponentially at a rate of 4.8% per year. If the purchase price of the new cars $42,000, how

Usimov [2.4K]

The worth of the car after it is paid off 5 years later given the rate of exponential depreciation is $32,842.34.

<h3>What is the worth of the car?</h3>

When the car declines in value, it means that the car is depreciating. The formula that can be used to determine the value of the car with the depreciationn rate is:

FV = P (1 - r)^n

FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = rate of decline
N = number of years

$42,000 x (1 - 0.048)^5 = $32,842.34

A data analyst has spreadsheets numbered

algol [13]

Answer:

$\frac{2}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

${\textrm}{Total number of objects here} = 9$

(2 spreadsheets, 3 databases and 4 presentations,

${\textrm}({Total} = 2+3+4 = 9)$

${\textrm}{No. of databases with an odd number} = 2 {\textrm}{(databases with number 1 and 3})$

As not mentioned other wise equal chances of all the outcomes is assumed so, by the classical definition of probability,

P(The chosen item is a odd numbered database)

= $\frac{2}{9}$
