This scenario is mostly found during a store sale where they offer discounts.

Assuming: Original price = 90 ; discount rate = 25%

Discount value = Original price * discount rate
Discount value = 90 x 25% = 22.50

Since 25% is the discount, you only need to pay 75% of the original price.

Discounted Price = original price * (100-25)% = 90 x 75% = 67.50

Answer:

9.09%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find percent decrease you have to use this equation:

$Percent Decrease = \frac{Initial -New}{Initial} x 100$

Initial = 49.5

New = 45

Plug in and solve:

$PD = \frac{49.5-45}{49.5} x 100\\\\PD = \frac{4.5}{49.5} x 100 \\\\PD = 0.0909 x 100\\\\PD = 9.09$

The percent decrease is 9.09%

How many six digit even numbers can be formed that don't end in 0?

Fudgin [204]

1st digit: 9 possibilities (can’t have 0)
2nd digit: 10 possibilities
3rd digit:10
4th digit:10
5th digit:10
6th digit: 4 possibilities (it can only be even)
9•10•10•10•10•4 =360,000 possibilities

For the system of equations that follows, use Gaussian elimination to obtain an equivalent system whose coefficient matrix is in

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 0 & 0& 46/41 &180/41\\0 & 1 & 0&1/41 &-5/41\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

System of equations given as

x₁ + 3x₂ + x₃ + x₄ = 3;

2x₁ - 2x₂ + x₃ + 2x₄ = 8;

x₁ - 5x₂ + x₄ = 5

Matrix form

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\2 & -2 & 1&2&8\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}$ $\begin{Vmatrix}x_1\\x_2\\x_3\\x_4\end{Vmatrix}$

Generally the echelon reduction is mathematically applied as

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\2 & -2 & 1&2&8\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}$

Add -2 times the 1st row to the 2nd row

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & -8 & -1&0&2\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}$

Multiply the 2nd row by -1/8

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & 1 & 1/8&0&-1/4\\0&1 & -5 & 1& 5\end{Vmatrix}$

Add -1 times the 2nd row to the 3rd row

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & 1 & 1/8&0&-1/4\\0&0 & -41/8 & 1& 21/4\end{Vmatrix}$

Multiply the 3rd row by -8/41

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 1&1&3\\0 & 1 & 1/8&0&-1/4\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}$

Add -1/8 times the 3rd row to the 2nd row

Add -1 times the 3rd row to the 1st row

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 3 & 0&49/41&165/41\\0 & 1 & 0&1/41 &-5/41\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}$

Add -3 times the 2nd row to the 1st row

$\begin{Vmatrix}1 & 0 & 0& 46/41 &180/41\\0 & 1 & 0&1/41 &-5/41\\0&0 & 1 & -8/41& -42/41\end{Vmatrix}$
