Answer:
$525
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the original price by using the formula x - 0.36x = 336, where x is the original price, 0.36 is the discount percentage (converted to decimal form), and 336 is the total amount paid after the discount is applied:
To check and further understand why the formula works, we can simply apply the discount to the original price and subtract the number from the original price:
525 * 0.36 = 189
525 - 189 = 336
Modeling the first formula gives us:
525 - (0.36 * 525) = 336
525 - 189 = 336
There's no if about it,
has a zero
so
is a factor. That's the special case of the Remainder Theorem; since
we'll get a remainder of zero when we divide
by
At this point we can just divide or we can try more little numbers in the function. It doesn't take too long to discover
too, so
is a factor too by the remainder theorem. I can find the third zero as well; but let's say that's out of range for most folks.
So far we have
where
is the zero we haven't guessed yet. Again we could divide
by
but just looking at the constant term we must have
so
We check
We usually talk about the zeros of a function and the roots of an equation; here we have a function
whose zeros are
Answer:
x = 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Group like terms together. Start by subtracting 1 from both sides, obtaining
5x = -4 + 10x.
Then combine the x terms, obtaining 4 = 5x.
Solving for x by dividing both sides by 5, we get x = 4/5.
Yes, it is. To find this out, you need to make the denominators the same. They can both multiply into 15, so we change the denominators to 15. Whatever we do to the bottom, we also have to do to the top.
2/3 = 10/15
1/5 = 3/15
We can then see that 10 is more than 3 :)
7.22 is 7.2242 rounded to the neartest hundreth
