Jean junction is selling jeans at 15% off the regular price.The regular price is 25.00 per pair. What is the discount amount

1 answer:

4 0

0.15 (15 percent) x 25.00 = $3.75

$3.75 = 15% of $25

If it’s a discount amount it means that percentage (15% in this example) needs to be subtracted from the original amount

so, $25 - $3.75 = $21.25

the discounted price of the jeans = $21.25

hope that helped! :)

Answer:

$y=-\dfrac{13}{49}x^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of an arch corresponds to a parabola.

the general equation for a parabola is:

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

we're given three coordinates: (-7,-13),(7,-13) and (0,0)

so we can plug these values in the general equation to make 3 separate equations:

(x,y) = (-7,-13)

$-13=a(-7)^2+b(-7)+c$

$49a-7b+c=-13$

(x,y) = (7,-13)

$-13=a(7)^2+b(7)+c$

$49a+7b+c=-13$

(x,y) = (0,0)

$0=a(0)^2+b(7)+c$

$c=0$

so we have three equations. and we can solve them simultaneously to find the values of a,b, and c.

we've already found c = 0, let's use substitute it to other equations.

$49a-7b+c=-13\quad\Rightarrow\quad49a-7b=-13$

$49a+7b+c=-13\quad\Rightarrow\quad49a+7b=-13$

we can solve these two equation using the elimination method, by simply adding the two equations

$\quad\quad49a-7b=-13\\+\quad49a+7b=-13$

------------------------------

$\quad\quad 98a=-26$

$\quad\quad a=-\dfrac{13}{49}$

Now we can plug this value of a in any of the two equations.

$49a-7b=-13$

$49\left(-\dfrac{13}{49}\right)-7b=-13$

$-13-7b=-13$

$-7b=0$

$b=0$

We have the values of a,b, and c. We can plug them in the general equation to find the equation of the arch.

$y=\left(-\dfrac{13}{49}\right)x^2+0x+0$

$y=-\dfrac{13}{49}x^2$

$49y=-13x^2$

This our equation of the arch!

We are told thatP(B) = 0.1.Further, we are told thatP(B|A) = 0.3. Using the rules for conditional probability,P(A|B) =P(A∩B)P(B)=P(B|A)P(A)P(B)=0.3·0.050.1=0.15.The probability that a migraine sufferer takes the drug is 15%.

What is the number 4.082 rounded to nearest hundreth?

iragen [17]

The 2nd number position after the decimal is always the hundredth position, so we will work from there. To round a number, you must examine the number that comes after the number you are trying to round. In this case the number you are trying to round is the 8 so we have to look at the 2. because the two is a number less than 5, the 8 will remain an 8 and your rounded answer is 4.08. If that two had been a number greater than 5 than the 8 would have become a 9 and your answer would have been 4.09. When rounding always remember: "5 to 9, up the line; 0 to 4, down to the floor."
