The original price is $60.The sales price is $45. What is the percent of discount?

1 answer:

5 0

Hey there!

To start, first subtract 45 from 60 to find the amount of money taken off from the discount:
60-45
=15

Because 15 dollars have been taken off the original price, you can find the percent of discount by setting up this proportion where x represents the percent of discount:
15/60=x/100

Now, cross multiply and solve for x:
1500=60x
x=25

Therefore, your discount would be 25%.

Hope this helps and have a marvelous day! :)

Bamboo Plant A is 1.2 meters tall and growing at a rate of 0.45 meter per day. Bamboo Plant B is 0.85 meter tall and growing 0.5

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

7 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Bamboo plant A = 1.2 + 0.45d

Bamboo plant B = 0.85 + 0.5d

Where,

d = number of days

Equate the two growth

Bamboo plant A = Bamboo plant B

1.2 + 0.45d = 0.85 + 0.5d

Collect like terms

1.2 - 0.85 = 0.5d - 0.45d

0.35 = 0.05d

Divide both sides by 0.05

d = 0.35 / 0.05

d = 7 days

Plant B be taller than Plant A after 7 days

In ΔUVW, w = 3 inches, ∠W=23° and ∠U=73°. Find the length of u, to the nearest 10th of an inch.

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

<h2>7.4inches</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Check the attachment for the diagram. Sine rule will be used to get the unknown side of the triangle.

According to the rule;

$\frac{u}{sinU} = \frac{v}{sinV} = \frac{w}{sinW}\\\frac{u}{sinU} = \frac{w}{sinW}$

Given w = 3 in, ∠W=23° and ∠U=73°, on substituting into the equation above to get u we have;

$\frac{u}{sin73^{0} } = \frac{3}{sin23^{0} }\\usin23^{0} = 3sin73^{0}\\u = \frac{3sin73^{0} }{sin23^{0} }\\u = \frac{2.87}{0.39} \\u = 7.358\\u = 7.4in$
