Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I did it was doing 12/20 to find what percentage of 12 is 20. I found out that was 60%, which means that the sweater's price was reduced by 40%. However, there are other ways of doing this.

A better way is solving for percentage is: initial value - final value / initial value

|20-12|/20 = 0.4 or 40%

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

12 ÷ 20 = .6

You can convert the .6 to a percentage by multiplying it:

.6 x 100 = 60%

If 12 is 60% of 20, then that means 40% was taken away.

Enter the fractions in order from the least to greatest 1/5 8/10 1/2
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

1/5, 1/2, 8/10

Step-by-step explanation:

If you change all the fractions into x/10, you get:

1/5 = 2/10

1/2 = 5/10

8/10 = 8/10

2/10 < 5/10 < 8/10

hope this helps :)

Make a table of ordered pairs for the equation. y= 1/2x − 3
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Please enclose the fractional coefficient inside parentheses:  y= (1/2x) − 3 for greater clarity.

Make a table of ordered pairs:

x    y = (1/2)x - 3

0                   -3

1            (1/2)(1) - 3 = -2 1/2

3           (1/2)(3) - 3 = -3/2

The y-intercept is the point at which x = 0, and (from the table) is -3.  Plot a dark dot at (0, -3).

Now graph (3, -3/2), leaving a dark dot.

Draw a line thrugh (0, -3) and (3, -3/2).
