The order you apply the adjustments does make a difference because the percents that are applied will be applied to different amount.  

For example, 80% of 100 = $80.  The price would be $180.

Decreasing this by 25% 25% of 180 = $45; 180-45 = $135.  

25% of 100 is not the same as 25% of 180.

Find the value of x. Then find the measure of each labeled angle
Artyom0805 [142]

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 10 :

3x + 6 = 4x – 12 ( reason: corresponding angles due to parallel lines)

simplify and get x, thus x = 18

to find 3x + 6 or 4x - 12(which is both the same),

3(18) + 6 = 60° , 4(18) - 12 = 60°

Question 11:

2x + 24 + x = 180 ( reason: interior angles due to parallel lines)

simplify again to get x, you will get x = 52

then find the individual by subbing in the value of x into the equation.

so 2x + 24 = 2(52)+24 = 128° and x = 52°

Probability people where you at? 《brainlist if correct》

<h3>Answer:  5/9</h3>

As an approximate decimal, this is 0.5556 which converts to 55.56%

======================================================

Explanation:

Let's say there are 100 households (just for the sake of simplicity). We are told that 90% of them have answering machines. So that means 90 households have answering machines. In addition, 50 households have answering machines and call waiting. Those 50 households are part of the 90 mentioned previously.

We then select a house at random. Someone tells us (or we have some kind of prior knowledge) that whichever house is selected, they have an answering machine. We can ignore the 10 households that don't have an answering machine. Out of those 90 households, 50 have both features. So 50/90 = 5/9 is the probability of getting a household with both features.

The answer would be 1/2 or 50% if we didn't have the prior knowledge of the household having an answering machine. But with this prior knowledge, the conditions change and so does the probability.

----------------

You could also compute 0.50/0.90 to get the same answer.
