Your answer is D.
The jeans are 40% off (because you add 20% more).
And the original cost of the jeans is $30.
You could have done:
30 · 0.40 = 12 (Find 40% of $30, then subtract 30 by 40% of 30 to get the new sale price]
30 - 12 = 18
1 - 0.40 = 0.60 (You subtract 1 by 0.40 to get 0.60, which is the % of the original price that you have to pay)
30 · 0.60 = 18
The maturity value is the principal value together with interest due.
.. mv = P +Prt
.. = 5350*(1 +0.085*120/360) . . . . . . year is 360 days for "ordinary interest"
.. ≈ 5501.58
The maturity value is $5501.58.
Answer:
The number is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
certain positive number: x
x is multipled by 4:
4x
result of this is subtracted from the original number:
so original number minus 4x,
x - 4x
the result is 21 less than 0, this means negative 21
x - 4x = 0 - 21 = -21
do algebra:
-3x = -21
multiply both sides by -1
3x = 21
divide both sides by 3
x=7
(certain positive number: x) is equal to 7
