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

2 Which of the following polynomials is not written in standard form?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is written in the order of the exponent <em>on</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>variable</em> from highest to lowest.

#1 exponents go 2, 1 , then zero. So, this is standard form.

#2 exponents go 2 then zero, so this is standard form.

#3 exponents go 1 then 2 then zero, so this is <em><u>not</u></em> in standard form.

#4 exponents go 3 to 2 to 1, so this is still in standard form.

hope this helps!
