a book normally costs $21.50. today it was on sale for 15.05. what percentage discount was offered during the sale?

1 answer:

4 0

To find the discount %, we must use the equation below.

Discounted Price / Original Price = 1 - Discount %

15.05 / 21.5 = 1 - Discount %

Subtract 15.05 / 21.5 from both sides and add Discount % to both sides to get the following equation.

Discount % = 1 - 15.05 / 21.5 = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3 = 30% discounted

</span><span>

Since the rate should be constant, option C and D wouldn't be true.</span>
If the Four Rivers bank gives 12% per year and Mystic Bank gives 14% per year, it will be 3% per quarter year for Four Rivers Bank and 7% semiannually for Mystic Bank.
The total rate would become:
Four rivers 103%^4= 1.125

What is the answer to this?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you simplify the equations and the left side is identical to the right side, then there are an infinite number of solutions: the equation is true for all values of x.

Another way to simplify the equation is to subtract the right side from both sides. If that simplifies to 0 = 0, then there are an infinite number of solutions.

2x -6 -6x = 2 -4x . . . . eliminate parentheses

-4x -6 = -4x +2 . . . . no solutions (no value of x makes this true)

x +2 = 15x +10 +2x . . . . eliminate parentheses

x +2 = 17x +10 . . . . one solution (x=-1/2)

4 +6x = 6x +4 . . . . eliminate parentheses

6x +4 = 6x +4 . . . . infinite solutions

6x +24 = 2x -4 . . . . eliminate parentheses; one solution (x=-7)
