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

Answer:

Twelve tickets cost $30 --> True

Thirty tickets cost $12 --> False

Each additional costs $2.50 --> True

The table is a partial rep --> True

ordered pairs --> False

Step-by-step explanation:

Twelve tickets cost $30 --> True, you can literally see that in the table

Thirty tickets cost $12 --> False, 30 is not in the table so you don't have that information. Besides, $12 is an unlikely low value for so many tickets.

Each additional costs $2.50 --> True, you can see the difference in the TotalCost column to be consistently 2.50.

The table is a partial rep --> True, values below 11 are not shown for example.

ordered pairs --> False --> Then the x value should be first, e.g., (11, 27.50), since the cost y is a function of the number x.

The "relative frequency" is

divided by

-- The relative frequency of blue was  (20/60)  =  (33 and 1/3) % .
(Even though 38.5% of the marbles in the jar are blue,
they didn't get picked that often.)

-- The relative frequency of green was  (18/60)  =  30 % .
(Even though only 26.9% of the marbles in the jar are green,
they got picked more often than that.)

Manny bought a brand new car for $29,750. The car depreciates in value by 12% each year. Find the value of the car after 6 years
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: $13,846.02

Step-by-step explanation:

The car cost $29,750 when it was first bought.

It will then depreciate at a rate of 12% per year. This means that the value of the car reduces by 12% per year.

To find the value of the car in the 6th year, you can use the compound interest formula:

= Value of car * ( 1 - rate) ^ no. of years

= 29,750 * ( 1 - 12%)⁶

= ‭13,816.021581824‬

= $13,846.02
