The price of an item has been reduced by 85% . The original price was 20 . What is the price of the item now?

1 answer:

3 0

Original price = 20
Reduced by 85%,
So, 100-85 = 15% of 20,

$\frac{15}{100} \times 20 \\ = \frac{15}{5} \\ = 3$
Prove of item is now 3.

<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>

Explanation:

You basically plug in x = 20, which is the same as saying "replace x with 20". Then you perform arithmetic to simplify each expression. Both simplify to 90, so angle 1 and angle 2 are the same measure. These angles are alternate interior angles, so we'll use the converse alternate interior angle theorem to conclude the lines are parallel.

Note: the alternate interior angle theorem says that if we have parallel lines, then the alternate interior angles are congruent. So the converse goes in reverse of this.

To answer this question you must know that there is a theorem called the "Two secants angle theorem", which establishes that the measure of an angle formed when two secants intersecting outside the circle is equal to 1/2 the difference of the two intercepted arcs.

Therefore, as you can see, the correct answer is the option B): B)<span>1/2 the difference of the intercepted arcs</span>

1. Coffees sold at a deli come in similar-shaped cups. A small cup has a height of 4.2", and a large cup has a height oThe large

UNO [17]

Answer: The small coffee cup holds approximately 7 fluid ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Height of small cup = 4.2 inches

Height of large cup = 5 inches

Since volume of large coffee cup = 12 fluid ounces.

We need to find the volume of small cup say. x.

According to ratio proportionality theorem, we get that

$(\dfrac{4.2}{5})^3=\dfrac{x}{12}\\\\\dfrac{4.2^3}{5^3}=\dfrac{x}{12}\\\\\dfrac{889.056}{125}=x\\\\7.11=x$

Hence, the small coffee cup holds approximately 7 fluid ounces.

Lexi and Ann went shopping. Ann wondered how much tax she would have to pay on her purchase of $76. Lexi said, "They just charged me $17 in taxes when I bought these outfits for $200." How much will Ann pay in taxes?

Ann's taxes = $\frac{17}{200}$ × $76

= $6.46

Every week Roseanne gets paid $100 plus a 5% commission on all of her sales. If she has $5,000 in sales, how much is her pay for the week?

5% commission = $\frac{5}{100}$ × $5000

= $250

Total pay = $250 + $100

= $350

Every week Kabore gets paid $100 plus 5% of his sales. How much does he need to sell if he wants to make $700 this week?

Amount of commission paid = $700 - $100

= $600

5% of sales = $600

100% of sales = $\frac{100}{5}$ × $600

= $12 000

Get-It-Done Depot has an ad for piping that reads:

“15 inches of pipe - only $2.00

Get 15% off the total when you buy more than 3 feet”

Mike needs 4 feet of piping. How much will it cost him?

4 feet = 48 inches

48 inches - $\frac{48}{15}$ × $2.00 = $6.40

Total after 15% off (since 4 feet is more than 3 feet so the discount is legible) - $\frac{100-15}{100}$ × $6.40 = $5.44
