Explain how the number of pieces in a whole relates to the size of each piece

Mathematics

As the number of pieces in a whole gets larger, the size of the pieces gets smaller. This is represented by the denominator in a fraction. As the denominator increases, the number of pieces the whole is divided into also increases so the size of the pieces is smaller.
1/2 > 1/3 > 1/4 > 1/5 etc...

Fractions get smaller as the denominator gets bigger.

g(f(x))=(x+4)^2-1=x^2+8x+16-1=x^2+8x+15

Explain why receiving a 15% discount is the same as finding 85% percent of the original cost of an item. Then, explain how the m
Lisa [10]

Answer:

15% discount means you're paying 85% of the marked price because total is 100% and 100-15 = 85%

Let X be the naked price

Paid = marked price - discount

Paid = X - (15/100 × X)

Using distribution property,

Paid = X(1 - 15/100)

Paid = X[(100-15)/100]

Paid = X(85/100)

Which is 85/100 × X

Hence 85% of X
