Answer:
$20.40
Step-by-step explanation:
20% off means that the new price of the skirt will be 80% of the original price:
$30(100% – 20%) = $30(80%)
Converting the percent to a decimal gives:
$30(0.8) = $24.00
There is an additional 15% off the sale price of $24.00, so the final price is 85% of the sale price:
$24(100% – 15%) = $24(85%)
Again converting the percent to a decimal gives:
$24(0.85) = $20.40
Answer:
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
x² + x² = (14
)²
2x² = 392 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x² = 196 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = 
= 14
Thus the congruent legs are 14 cm
Answer:
Line JK passes through points J(-4,-5) and K(-6, 3).
Line JK has form of y = mx + b
=> -5 = -4m + b
=> 3 = -6m + b
Subtract 2nd equation from 1st equation:
=> -8 = 2m
=> m = -4
Substitute back m = -4 into 1st equation:
=> -5 = -4(-4) + b
=> b = -21
Hope this helps!
:)
