Answer : The peter can buy 2 watches.

Step-by-step explanation :

Peter has total money = $100

Original price of a watch = $60

Discount % = 25 %

First we have to determine the price of a watch after discount.

Price of a watch = $\frac{25}{100}\times \$ 60=\$ 15$

Price of a watch after discount = Original price - Price of a watch at the time of discount

Price of a watch after discount =$60 - $15

Price of a watch after discount = $45

Now we have to determine the price of 2 watches.

Price of 2 watches = 2 × $45

Price of 2 watches = $90

From this we conclude that, peter can buy 2 watches because he has $100 money that is more than the price of 2 watches.

Thus, the peter can buy 2 watches.

Do 60 divided by 4 ( 25 percent) which is 15. 60-15 is 45. 45 plus 45 is 90 so yes he has enough money to buy two watches

Part A: 7/10 because .7 represents 70/100 of a whole, or 7/10.

Part B: I think 1 and 89/100 because 89/100 represents that fraction

These are my answers, so I may be wrong.

Hope I helped, and good luck!

Let k ( x ) = 2 x + 3 and m ( x ) = 3 x 2 + 7 x − 10 . Find the indicated value. M ( k ( − 4 ) ) =

murzikaleks [220]

Answer: $30$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$k(x)=2x+3$

$M(x)=3x^2+7x-10$

$M\left(k(x)\right)$ is given by replacing the $x$ by $k(x)$ from the $M(x)$

$\Rightarrow M\left(k(x)\right)=3(2x+3)^2+7(2x+3)-10\\\Rightarrow M\left(k(x)\right)=3(4x^2+9+12x)+14x+21-10\\\Rightarrow M\left(k(x)\right)=12x^2+50x+38$
