The sale price S (in dollars) of an item is given by the formula
S=L−rL , where L is the list price (in dollars) and r is the discount rate.
Since, S = L -rL
rL = L -S
r =
r =
Since, the listed price of the shirt is $30, we have to find the discount rate.
Therefore, r = is the discount rate.
The cat will take 0.8 seconds to catch up with the mouse
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The distance between the cat and the mouse = 4 feet
cat's speed = 17 feet per second.
mouse's speed = 12 feet per second
To Find:
how long will it take the cat to catch up with the mouse = ?
Solution:
We know that
distance = speed x time
Rewriting the equation for time we get
time =
now we know that distance is 4 feet
and the speed is 17 -12 = 5 feet per second
Thus the time is
=
= 0.8 seconds
