Your answer is D.


The jeans are 40% off (because you add 20% more).

And the original cost of the jeans is $30.


You could have done:

30 · 0.40 = 12  (Find 40% of $30, then subtract 30 by 40% of 30 to get the new sale price]

30 - 12 = 18


1 - 0.40 = 0.60  (You subtract 1 by 0.40 to get 0.60, which is the % of the original price that you have to pay)

30 · 0.60 = 18

The measure of an angle is three times the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
madreJ [45]

Answer:

45°

135°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the measure of one angle be x

So, measure of its supplementary angle = 3x

\implies \: x  + 3x  = 180 \degree \\  \\  \implies \: 4x = 180 \degree  \\  \\\implies \: x = \frac{ 180 \degree}{4} \\  \\\implies \: x = 45 \degree \\  \\  \implies \: 3x  = 135 \degree

A shipment to a warehouse consists of 2,750 MP3 players. The manager chooses a random sample of 50
Juli2301 [7.4K]

MP3 players in the shipment which are likely to be defective is 330.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Probability is event of an occurrence which is uncertain.

• Probability always lies between 0 to 1.

• The sample of 50 MP3 has 6 defective, to solve it has to be converted.

• Convert percentage in 100 multiply numerator and denominator by 2.

• Result is 6/50 converted to 12/100, bring it to 0.12%.

• 12% is defected in 100% of sample.

• It is found here that 2750 is the population and 12% of 2750.

• 2750 * 0.12 = 330, defective pieces in 2750.

• There are three types of Classical,Empirical or Experimental.

• Classical are ‘n’ number of events find the probability occurrence.  

• Empirical or experimental is purely based on events.

What is the constant of the expression? 5x−2y+2.4
Leno4ka [110]
The correct answer is the 2.4

The constant in an equation is the number(s) that don't have variables.

This is because variables can change the number they are attached to, making them not constant.

Hope this helps!
