Answer:
lin
Step-by-step explanation:
It should be 35, if that is an answer choice.
Hmmmm is not very clear if the 25% is just 25% of the original price, or of the reduced price, but let's assume is of the reduced price.
say the original price is "x", 20% off that, means the sale price is 80% of the original price, or (80/100) * x, or 0.8x.
then Linz shows up on the last day, and she's got 25% off from that price plus a beanie baby and a free garden hose.
so if the price is reduced by 25%, then the sale price is just 75% of whatever it was, but it was already reduced to 0.8x, what is 75% of 0.8x?
(75/100) * 0.8x, or 0.75 * 0.8x, which is 0.6x, now 0.6 * 100 is 60 to change it to percentage format, or 60% overall percentage reduction from the original price.
Answer:
You have to translate these sentences into expressions. I am not going to solve all of these because if I explain one/two problems to you, you'll get the hang of it. Seven more than three times a number: 7+3x; Five times a number decreased by six: 5x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
Why? We don't know what number that is, so we can put any variable like (x, y, z, a, b, etc.). Three times a number is simply that number times 3. In this case we would input: 3*x, or 3x. 7 more than that number is 3x+7. Five times a number decreased by six: 5x-6 . Remember: it is simply 5*x which simplifies to 5x. Decreased is take away, so take away 6, and get 5x-6
Key words: Quotient: the result after dividing two/or more numbers; Product: the result after multiplying two/ or more numbers; Decreased: take away (Example: x decreased by 7=x-7)
I hope you understand!! It is very simple after you start to get the hang of it!!
Answer:
A or (2x+1)/(x-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's simplify the top of the fraction first.
1. Simplify the numerator.
2x^2 -7x-4=(2x+1)(x-4)
2. Simplify the denominator.
x^2-5x+4=(x-4)(x-1)
Now we have:
((2x+1)(x-4))/((x-4)(x-1))
We see that there is an (x-4) both on the numerator and denominator.
We can remove (x-4) by division.
Doing that, we have:
(2x+1)/(x-1) or A
