With an 18% discount, Joan was able to save $13.23 for a coat. What was the original price of the coat?

Hi there!

First we need to realise that the 18% discount equals John's savings. Therefore 18% of the original price is $13.23.

When we know 18% of the price, we can also find 1% of the total price.

18% = $13.23
Divide both sides by 18.

1% = $0.735
To find the total price, which equals 100%, we know only need to multiply both sides by 100.

100% = $73.50.
Therefore, the original price for the coat is $73.50.

~ Hope this helps you!

Complete Question:

The function shown models the depth d (in inches) of snow on the ground during the first 9 hours of a snowstorm, where t is the time (in hours) after the snowstorm begins.

The -intercept means that there were[ ]inch(es) of snow on the ground at the start of the storm and the slope means that[ ]inch(es) of snow falls every hour during the storm.

Function: d(t)= 1/2t+6

Answer:

$b = 6$

$m = \frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$d(t)= \frac{1}{2}t+6$

Required

Determine the y intercept and the slope

y-intercept:

$d(t)= \frac{1}{2}t+6$

A function has a format of:

$d(t) = mt + b$

Where b represent the y intercept:

By comparison of $d(t) = mt + b$ and $d(t)= \frac{1}{2}t+6$

$b = 6$

Slope:

A function has a format of:

$d(t) = mt + b$

Where m represent the slope

By comparison of $d(t) = mt + b$ and $d(t)= \frac{1}{2}t+6$

$m = \frac{1}{2}$

The perimeter of a rectangular parking lot is 278m.

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two lengths so 77 + 77 is 154. Now, subtract from the perimeter. 278 minus 154 is 124. This is both widths combined so to only get one, divide by 2. 124 divided by 2 is 62.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

sigma should be used

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that The mean length of time in jail from the survey was four years with a standard deviation of 1.9 years.

The above given is for sample of 27 size.

For hypothesis test to compare mean of sample with population we can use either population std dev or sample std dev.

But once population std deviation is given, we use only that as that would be more reliable.

So here we can use population std deviation 1.4 only.

If population std deviation is used we can use normality and do Z test
