229.99*.20 = $46 off
229.99-46 = $183.99
$183.99*.13 =$23.92 sales tax added
183.99+23.92 = $207.91

We'll start with our initial price- $229.99.

First, we'll want to apply our discount code, as you wouldn't want to discount something after taxes. To apply the discount, we will start by multiplying our percent by the original price.

Multiplying by a percent is easy! All we need to do is put the percent over 100, divide the fraction, and our decimal is the value.

\frac{20}{100}= \frac{1}{5}  =0.2

Now that we know our percent can be represented as "0.2," we will multiply 0.2 by our original price.

229.99*0.2= 45.998

As our unit is money, we will round to the nearest hundredth. When we round to the nearest hundredth here, we can see that 20% of 229.99 is $46.00.

We aren't done calculating the discount yet, though! We still need to subtract the "46" from our original price, since we are only getting 20% off, not only paying 20%.

229.99-46.00=183.99

Now that we have our discounted price, we need to add the sales tax to it. Again, we'll need to find our sales tax's value as a decimal.

\frac{13}{100} =0.13

This time, we will multiply the discounted price by "1.13." The first "1" represents the discounted price, and the ".13" afterwards represents the cost of the sales tax.

183.99*1.13=207.9087

Again, we'll need to round to the nearest hundredth, so our "207.9087" becomes "207.91."

With all of the logic above in mind, we can conclude that the cost of the room, after the discount and the sales tax, is $207.91.

Answer:

680 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that 681 tennis players want to play an elimination tournament.

1st round:

One of 681 players, chosen at random, sits out that round and 680 players play. There will be 340 winners plus one player which sits - 341 players for the next round and 340 games

2nd round:

There will be 170 winners plus one player which sits - 171 players for the next round and 170 games

3rd round:

There will be 85 winners plus one player which sits - 86 players for the next round and 85 games

4th round:

There will be 43 winners - 43 players for the next round and 43 games

5th round:

There will be 21 winners plus one player which sits - 22 players for the next round and 21 games

6th round:

There will be 11 winners  - 11 players for the next round and 11 games

7th round:

There will be 5 winners plus one player which sits - 6 players for the next round and 5 games

8th round:

There will be 3 winners  - 3 players for the next round and 3 games

9th round:

There will be 1 winner plus one player which sits - 2 players for the next round and 1 game

10th round - final:

1 champion and 1 game.

In total,

340 + 170 + 85 + 43 + 21 + 11 + 5 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 680 games

Pls solve ASAP!! Review the attachment and solve. Pls hurry!
Virty [35]

Answer:

A. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔDEC is bigger than ΔABC by 5. For the hypotenuse, 25 is 5 times bigger than 5.

So, side DE on ΔDEC has to be 5 times bigger than side AB on ΔABC.

If side AB equals 3, side DE equals 18 - 3, which is 15.

15 is five times bigger than 3, so the answer is A. 3.

Hope that helps.
