Answer: There are an infinite amount of Pythagorean Triples that could be created.

A Pythagorean Triple is a set of 3 integers that would form a right triangle. They must satisfy the equation a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

The most basic one is: 3, 4, 5

A triangle with sides of 3, 4, 5 would form a right triangle.

If we multiply each side by 2, we get 6, 8, 10. This would also be a right triangle.

We could also multiply by 3, or 4, or 5, or 6 .......

We can multiply by any number and still have a right triangle.

Today, everything at a store is on sale. The store offers a 20% discount. 1. The regular price of a T-shirt is $18. What is the

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The discount price for a T-shirt cost $14.40.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are more than one ways to solve this problem, I used this method, but your teacher/instructor may uses different method.

First, you will need to find the 1% is, so what I do is to $18 divide 100% (which will split 18 into every single percentage representing). You should get 0.18.

Then, you will multiple 20 from 0.18, that mean you are finding the amount of 20% discount. You should get 3.6.

Now that we found the amount of discount, we need to apply it. We can do that by the orginal price, which is $18, and minus the 20% discount, which is $3.6, (18-3.6=14.4).

$14.4 will be the discounted price for that T-shirt.

I hope that helped!
