A store offers a 15% discount on all items in the store during a sale. All store employees get an additional 10% employee discou

nt . In the equation below, C represents the cost of an item for an employee including tax and x represents the original price of the item :
C = 0.765x + 0.06(0.765x)

Chris is an employee at the store he plans to buy a coat during the sale . The price of the coat before the discount is $100. How much will chris pay for the coat during the sale? Remember, do not include the $ symbol

0.765 (100) + .06 (.0765 x 100)
76.5  + .06 (76.5)  
76.5 + 4.59 = 81.09    Chris will pay $81.09

A better way ( if you don't care to know the tax just the bottom line of what it will cost) would be to do:

0.765x x 1.06 = 76.5 x 1.06 = $81.09 too.

Why the 1 in front of the .06?  The one includes the price of the coat so you don't have to add the tax on after.
Think about it like this. When you buy something you pay (even with an employee 
discount) for all of it (100%) + the tax (in this case, it's 6%)  So you pay 106% of the cost of the item.  106% = 1.06

Mel used partial quotients to find the quotient of 378 divided by 3.What could be the partial quotient that Mel found?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

The partial quotients are 100, 20 and 6. The quotient is 126.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dividend is 378 and the divisor is 3.

First find the factors of 3, near to 300.

3\times 1=3

3\times 10=30

3\times 100=300

The value 300 is less than 378, so record the partial quotient 100 and subtract 300 from 378. Repeat the same process until the dividend has been zero.

Now the remaining divide is 78.

First find the factors of 3, near to 78.

3\times 20=60

3\times 30=90

Since 90>78, therefore 30 is not a partial quotient. The value 60 is less than 78 , so record the partial quotient 20 and subtract 60 from 78.

Now the remaining divide is 18.

3\times 6=18

The number 6 is a partial quotient.

Therefore  partial quotients are 100, 20 and 6. Add the partial quotient to find quotient.

100+20+6=126

A cake decorator rolls a piece of stiff paper to form a cone. She cuts off the tip of the cone and uses it as a funnel to pour d
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for volume of a cone

V = 1/3 pi r^2 (h)

V = 1/3 pi 66^2 (18)

V= 1/3 pi 4356(18)

V = 1/3 pi 78408

V = 1/3 264,201.12

V = 82,067.04cm^3

shtirl [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure (1)

x° = 107° [Vertically opposite angles]

Since, vertical angles are equal in measure.

Figure (2)

x + 71° = 90° [Given, complementary angles]

x = 90° - 71°

x = 19°

Figure (3)

x + 21° = 180° [Given as supplementary angles]

x = 180° - 21°

x = 159°

Figure (4)

x = 129° [Vertical angles]

Figure (5)

x° = 90° [Given]

z° + 34° = 90°

z° = 90° - 34°

z° = 56°

Since, x° + y° + z° = 180° [Linear angles]

90° + y° + 56° = 180°

y° + 146° = 180°

y° = 180° - 146°

y° = 34°
