Answer:

It would cost you $12.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Model an equation, using c as the initial cost variable and x as the final cost, and then solve for x.

x =  \frac{100 - 15}{100} c \\ x =  \frac{85}{100} (15) \\ x =  \frac{17}{20} (15) \\ x =  \frac{17}{4} (3) \\ x = \frac{51}{4}  \\ x = 12.75

1/32 because 1/4 is the probability for the first one and then 1/8 for the next one. 4 times 8 = 32  so there is a 1 in 32 chance

3√12•√6<br><br>please show a step by step explanation ​
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:  18\sqrt{2}\\\\

This is the same as saying 18*sqrt(2) or you could say 18√2

============================================================

Explanation:

We'll be using this square root rule: \sqrt{A}*\sqrt{B} = \sqrt{A*B}

So we could have this as our steps:

3\sqrt{12}*\sqrt{6}\\\\3\sqrt{12*6} \ \text{ ... Apply the rule mentioned}\\\\3\sqrt{72}\\\\3\sqrt{36*2}\\\\3\sqrt{36}*\sqrt{2} \ \text{ ... Apply the rule again, but in reverse}\\\\3*6*\sqrt{2}\\\\18\sqrt{2}\\\\

Therefore, 3\sqrt{12}*\sqrt{6} = 18\sqrt{2}

The basic idea is to first combine the roots using that rule. From there, we factor the radicand such that we pull out the largest perfect square factor. This will allow us to break the root apart and fully simplify it.

Find the perimeter of the polygon on this picture. I don’t know how to do this. Plz help
ANEK [815]
The perimeter of the polygon will be given by:
Perimeter=distance around the figure
Thus the perimeter will be:
P=9.9+(9.9-5.9)+5.9+15.9+(15.9-4.6)+4.6
P=9.9+4+5.9+15.9+11.3+4.6
P=51.6
