10% of $15 = 15/10= 1.5
1.5 x 2= 3 = 20%
15-3=12
Therefore the towel will be $12 with a 20% of coupon

Leila is buying a dinosaur model. The price of the model is x dollars, and she also has to pay a 7% tax. Which of the following

arlik [135]

Answer:

x + 0.07x or 1.07x

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a percent of a number, multiply the decimal form of the percent by the other number.

7% = 7/100 = 0.07

This means 7% of x is 0.07x.

This would give us the amount of tax to be added; the total amount of the same, including tax, would be

x+0.07x

We can also consider this as adding an extra 7% of the cost. This means we would have 100% of the cost with another 7% of the cost; this is

100+7 = 107% of the cost. 107% = 107/100 = 1.07; this gives us 1.07x.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Girl's basketball team has more seniors

Step-by-step explanation:

A varsity boy's basketball team has ratio of seniors to juniors that is 7:4.

Let there are 7x seniors and 4x juniors in boy's basketball team.

ATQ,

7x+4x = 12

11x = 12

x = 12/11

Seniors = $7\times \dfrac{12}{11}=7.63$

The varsity girl's basketball team has a ratio of seniors to juniors that is 3 to 2.

Let there are 7x seniors and 4x juniors in girl's basketball team.

3x+2x = 12

5x = 12

x = 12/5

Seniors = $7\times \dfrac{12}{5}=16.8$

As we can see that girl's basketball team has more seniors as compared to the boy's team.

What is the equation of the line that passes through points (2, −6) and (−4, 3)?

maria [59]

Answer:

y = -3/2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step 1: Find slope <em>m</em>

<em /> $m=\frac{3-(-6)}{-4-2}$ <em />

<em /> $m=\frac{3+6}{-6}$ <em />

<em /> $m=\frac{9}{-6}$ <em />

<em /> $m=\frac{-3}{2}$ <em />

y = -3/2x + b

Step 2: Find y-intercept <em>b</em>

3 = -3/2(-4) + b

3 = 6 + b

b = -3

Step 3: Rewrite linear equation

y = -3/2x - 3
