Answer:

1) $3.82 2) $21.68

Step-by-step explanation:

If it's 15% off, the price is 85% of the original price--- $25.50*85\% = 21.675 \approx 21.68$ , and this gives a difference from the original price and the new price of $25.50-21.68=3.82$ .

1) What is 20% of 20? 2) what is 15 is what percent of 30? 3) 50 is 50% of what?

N76 [4]

Hi there!

The word "of" is the same thing as a multiplication sign.

20% = 0.2

0.2 × 20 = 4

? × 30 = 15

divide each side of the equation by 30

? = 0.5

0.5 = 50%

50% = 0.5

0.5 × ? = 50

divide each side of the equation by 0.5

? = 100

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

What is the factored form of the expression. (2n^2 + 5n + 3) (4n - 5)

7nadin3 [17]

So firstly, the factor (4n - 5) cannot be further factored, so we will be focusing on 2n² + 5n + 3.

So for this, we will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, what two terms have a product of 6n² and a sum of 5n? That would be 2n and 3n. Replace 5n with 2n + 3n:

$(2n^2 + 2n + 3n + 3)(4n - 5)$
