48x0.2= $9.6
$48-9.6=$38.40 Her friend is incorrect. 
40/48 =0.83 or about 83% So, in this case she only got 17% off. :)

A guy wire supports an antenna tower, as shown at the right. The bottom of the wire is secured in the ground 30 feet from the ba
babunello [35]

Answer:

The wire is approximately 42feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

We can mentally sketch out the shape that is formed between the guy wire and the antenna tower. This is simply a right-angled triangle with the opposite side being the height of the antenna (30 feet). The adjacent side is the distance on the ground between the point where the wire was fastened and the base of the antenna.

The hypotenuse side is the length of the wire we are looking for.

Parameters are given as:

Opposite : 30ft

Adjacent: 30ft

Hypotenuse: x feet

The hypotenuse = \sqrt{opp^2 + adj^2}

Hypotenuse =\sqrt{30^2+ 30^2} \approx 42ft

What is the value of x in the diagram?
Verizon [17]
2 lines parallel, and 2 triangles have a common angle
So the smaller Δ  is similar to the bigger Δ (AA Similarity)
9:(4x-2)+9=12:(3x+2)+12
9:4x+7=12:3x+14
9(3x+14)=12(4x+7)
27x+126=48x+84
21x=42
x=2
So the answer is x=2

A high school spends approximately $9,000 hosting a football games (e.G. The hourly pay for staff, the electricity, water usage,
Yanka [14]

Answer:

<u>$4800</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected net income is the probability when rains multiplied by net income (profit) summed with the probability of not raining with that days net income multiplied.

First, Chance of rain = 12% = 12/100 = 0.12

Profit/Loss = Income - Cost

Income is 5000

Cost = 9000

So,

Loss = 5000 - 9000 = 4000

Or, Net Income (profit) = - 4000

Now, Change of not raining = 100 - 12 = 88% = 88/100 = 0.88

Profit = Income - Cost

Income = 15,000

Cost = 9000

Net Income (profit) = 15000 - 9000 = 6000

So, we can write the expected net income as:

<u>Expected NI </u>= (0.12)(-4000) + (0.88)(6000) = <u>$4800</u>
