Answer:

$20.30

Step-by-step explanation:

The usual price of the gift is $29.00

Marie will get 30% DISCOUNT on this price if she uses her coupon. So, the final price would be 30% less than $29.00

First, we need to find 30% of $29.00. Then we need to subtract that from original price (29).

Convert percentage to decimal first:

30% = 30/100 = 0.3

Now multiply this with 29 to get:

0.3 * 29 = $8.70

We subtract this from original price to get DISCOUNTED PRICE:

$29.00 - $8.70 = $20.30

Answer:

a. 2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Four more than twice a number

Let x = unknown number

Four more than twice of x

Twice of x can be written as 2x

Four more than 2x

Four more can be written as + 4

We get 2x + 4

A rectangular parking area measuring 5000 ft squared is to be enclosed on three sides using chain-link fencing that costs $5.5

kaheart [24]

Answer:

Dimensions: 75.3778 ft and 66.3325 ft

Minimum price: $1658.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the length of the parking area 'x', and the width 'y'.

Then, we can write the following equations:

-> Area of the park:

x * y = 5000

-> Price of the fences:

P = 2*x*5.5 + y*5.5 + y*7

P = 11*x + 12.5*y

From the first equation, we have that y = 5000/x

Using this value in the equation for P, we have:

P = 11*x + 12.5*5000/x = 11*x + 62500/x

To find the minimum of this function, we need to take its derivative and then make it equal to zero:

dP/dx = 11 - 62500/x^2 = 0

x^2 = 65000/11

x = 250/sqrt(11) = 75.3778 ft

This is the x value that gives the minimum cost.

Now, finding y and P, we have:

x*y = 5000

y = 5000/75.3778 = 66.3325

P = 11*x + 62500/x = $1658.31

When asked to write a point slope equation for a line passing through the points (-4,-7) and (3,2) a student wrote y-2=-9/7(x-3)

AleksAgata [21]

First let's find the slope
Slope formula:
$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =slope$
Given the two coordinates:
(-4,-7) (3,2)
x1,y1 x2,y2

Plug these numbers into the formula
$\frac{2-(-7)}{3-(-4)} = \frac{9}{7}$
In this case the mistake that was made was that the student wrote the slope negative instead of positive
Final answer:
y-2=9/7(x-3)
