Job natural peanut butter normally cost four dollars today it’s on sale for $3.60 what is the percentage of the discount

1 answer:

5 0

We can make an equation that would help this. X will be the discount rate.
4x=3.60
Now, we need to solve the equation to find what X is.
Let's divide each side by 4.
x=.9
So, we know that the item was sold for 90% of what it was before, meaning that it has a 10% discount.

If you have ⅜ of one pie, what does the denominator tells you?

BabaBlast [244]

If you have 3/8 of a pie that means you have three slices out of a total of 8. so the denominator tells you the total number of pieces.

Store A is offering two tubes of lip gloss for $7. The costs for lip gloss at Store B are shown in the table. Assume the cost fo

solmaris [256]

Hi,

I think this is the table, correct?

Number of Tubes 3 5 7

Cost ($) 12 20 28

we can calculate the prize as the number of tubes multiplied by 4:
3*4=12
5*4=20
7*4=28

which means that one tube costs 4 dollars!

However, in the store A two tubes cost 7, which means that one costs half of this -3.5

So Store B is more expensive (4 dollars per 4 rather than 3.5 as in Store A).

A frog sits at one end of a table which is 2m long. In its first jump the frog goes a distance of 1m along the table, with its s

Phantasy [73]

Ah, this is an infinite sum question, or a sum of geometric sequence
when will the sum reach 1cm of the edge or about 1.99m
so

2m=200cm
within 1cm means at least 1.99m
so
we will use m and not cm for consitancy

sum of geometric sequence is
$S_n= \frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}$
a1=first term=initial jjump=1
r=common ratio=1/2
n=?, we ar solving for that

so
we want it to equal 1.99 so

$1.99= \frac{1(1- (\frac{1}{2})^n)}{1-\frac{1}{2}}$
$1.99= \frac{(1- (\frac{1}{2})^n)}{\frac{1}{2}}$
$1.99= 2(1- (\frac{1}{2})^n)$
divide both sides by 2
$\frac{1.99}{2} = 1- (\frac{1}{2})^n$
times -1
$\frac{-1.99}{2} = (\frac{1}{2})^n-1$
add 1 or 2/2 to both sides
$\frac{0.01}{2} = (\frac{1}{2})^n$
take the ln of both sides
$ln(\frac{0.01}{2}) = ln((\frac{1}{2})^n)$
$ln(\frac{0.01}{2}) = n ln(\frac{1}{2})$
divide both sides by ln(1/2)
$\frac{ln(\frac{0.01}{2})}{ln(\frac{1}{2})} =n$
use your calculatro to find that n≈7.64386
so on 7th jump, it is not yet at 1cm to the edge but at 8th jump, it is past
so 8th jump

\A and \B are supplementary angles. If m\A= (3x – 23) and m

mrs_skeptik [129]

2 supplementary angles when added together need to equal 180 degrees.

Add:

3x-23 + 2x-12 = 180

Simplify:

5x -35 = 180

Add 35 to both sides:

5x = 215

Divide both sides by 5:

X = 43

Now replace x with 43 in the equation for angle b:

2(43) -12 = 86-12 = 74 degrees

Angle B = 74 degrees
