40 is 20% of 160, so if she saved 40$ and it was 20% off then the original price was 160$!!!
Since there are no multiples other than 1 and -1 that could multiply in any way to equal 1, those are the only numbers you can really work with
it is a possibility that a, b, and c could equal 1 but then it would go wrong when comes time to subtract since all numbers are equal and cannot subtract largest from smallest.
a logical approach would be to try -1, -1, and 1 since -1 * -1 = 1 and then 1* 1 =1
we can make a= -1 , b= -1, and c= 1
(we need b to equal -1 so that we get an answer of -1 opposed to if we made a=-1 and c=-1, all outcomes would equal 1)
-1²=1
-1³=-1
1⁴= 1
since 1 is the largest possible outcome and -1 is the lowest possible outcome you should subtract the two
1-(-1) = 1+1 = 2
The answer should be D: 2
hoped this helped at all!
Just add them
QM+MR=QR
16+x+2(x+2)=QR
16+x+2x+4=QR
20+3x=QR
To round a number, you look to the next place to the right of what you want to round to... for example, if you want to round to the nearest hundredth, you look to the thousandths place to see whether the hundredths place rounds up or down.
0.04 is already at the hundredths place so the thousandths place is zero... the answer to the nearest hundredth is 0.04.
For 0.2%, you have to convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100 (move the decimal 2 places to the left).
0.2% = 0.002
So now to round to the nearest hundredth, we look to the thousandths place. The thousandths place has a 2 in it so the hundredths place rounds down. 0.2% total he nearest hundredth is 0.
