The answer is 45/8
You have make sure that the denominator has the same value!
31/4-17/8=62/8-17/8
=45/8

The price of a shirt was $38. It was reduced by 20% and then again by 10%.what is the final price of the shirt

tiny-mole [99]

First you would take 20% off the orignal price giving you 30.4$ after that you take 10% of 30.4 to get 27.36$.

Suppose that 3 balls will be randomly put into 3 buckets, with each ball being equally likely to be put into each of the buckets

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{27}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are a total of three buckets and only one can be chosen at a time, this would mean that the probability of a ball being placed in a bucket is 1/3. Since each ball has the same probability of being placed into any bucket regardless of the where the previous ball landed, it means that each ball has the same 1/3 probability of a bucket. In order to find the probability that all three land in the same bucket, we need to multiply this probability together for each one of the balls like so...

$\frac{1}{3} * \frac{1}{3} * \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{27}$

Finally, we see that the probability of all three balls landing in the same bucket is $\frac{1}{27}$

Answer:

Part A: What is the rate of change and initial value of the function represented by the graph, and what do they represent in this scenario?

First, calculate the rate of change (Slope, once it is a linear function):

I will take the points: $(0, 100)$ and $(1, 80)$

$m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}= \frac{100-80}{0-1}=-20$

Let's understand the graph!

This linear graph is about songs being downloaded in a period of 5 weeks.

In the beginning, we have 100 songs to be downloaded. As the weeks past, the number of songs remaining decreases, that's why the graph's slope is negative. In week 5, all songs were downloaded.

The initial value (100) represents the number of songs.

Part B: Write an equation in slope-intercept form to model the relationship between x and y.

The Slope-intercept form of linear equations is $y=mx+b$
