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 attendance at a family reunion was 160 people. This was 125% of last year's attendance. How many people attended the reunion
Alex787 [66]
If you would like to know how many people attended the reunion last year, you can calculate this using the following steps:

125% of last year's attendance is 160 people
125% of x is 160
125% * x = 160
125/100 * x = 160     /*100/125
x = 160 * 100 / 125
x = 128 people (last year)

Result: 128 people attended the reunion last year.

A histogram is better for _____________ data and a frequency polygon is better for ________data.
Ne4ueva [31]

A histogram is better for "discrete" data and a frequency polygon is better for "continuous" data.

<h3>What is histogram?</h3>

A histogram is a data representation that looks like a bar graph and buckets a wide range of categories into columns all along horizontal x-axis.

  • The numeric count or percentage of happenings in the data for every column is represented by the vertical y-axis.
  • Columns can be employed to visualize data distribution patterns.
  • Technical analysts use the MACD histogram in trading to making data in momentum.
  • The MACD histogram columns could provide buy and sell signals earlier than the MACD and signal lines.
<h3>What is frequency polygon?</h3>

Frequency polygons are a graphs depiction of the distribution that aids in data comprehension by utilizing a specific shape.

  • Frequency polygons are comparable to histograms but are more beneficial when comparing two or more different data sets.
  • The graph primarily displays cumulative frequency distribution data as a line graph.
  • Frequency Polygons are a type of graph that deciphers information or data and are broadly used in statistics.
  • This graphic form of data representation aids in the depiction of the data's shape and trend in a systematic and organized manner.
