Becca bought a shirt that was 25% off and saved $6. What was the original price of the shirt?

Mathematics

Answer:

$24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 25% is off the price of the shirt, she bought the shirt at 75% of it's cost price. This difference between the full cost and the 75% is what she saved (i.e. 25% was the savings)

So, if the shirt costs x dollars:

$6 = 25% of x

= ( 25/100)*X = 0.25X

X = $6/0.25 = $6x4

X = $24

Which function has zeros at x = -2 and x = 5?
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

<em>f(x)=x²-3x-10</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

\begin{gathered}f(x) = x {}^{2} - 3x - 10 \\ to \: find \: x \: intercept \:o r \: zero \: substitute \: f(x) = 0\: \\ 0 = x {}^{2} - 3x - 10 \\ x {}^{2} - 3x - 10 = 0 \\ x {}^{2} + 2x - 5x - 10 = 0 \\ x(x + 2) - 5x - 10 = 0 \\ x(x + 2) - 5(x + 2) = 0 \\ (x + 2).(x - 5) = 0 \\ x + 2 = 0 \\ x - 5 = 0 \\ x = - 2 \\ x = 5\end{gathered}

f(x)=x

+2x−5x−10=0

x(x+2)−5x−10=0

x(x+2)−5(x+2)=0

(x+2).(x−5)=0

x+2=0

x−5=0

x=−2

x=5

therefore the zeros of the equation are x₁=-2,x₂=5
