Answer:

$31.37 is the sale price

Step-by-step explanation:

All you need to do to find the discount price (sale price) is multiply the price of the item by the decimal form of the percentage.

1. Store A. 40% off the original price of $159.99

$(159.99 * .40) = 63.996$

63.996 is the discount price we are looking for

2. Store B. 25% off the original price of $130.50

$(130.50 * .25) = 32.625$

32.625 is the discount price we are looking for

3. Now to find their difference you just subtract the two values.

$($63.996 - $32.625) = $31.371$

The discount price (sale price) is $31.371

for all values of x , a function f is defined by f(x)=x^2+7x+12 if f(a)=2, what could be the value of a?

Answer:

a = -2 or a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

We want $f(a) = a^2 + 7a + 12 = 2$ . We can subtract 2 from both sides of this equation to get $a^2+7a+10=0$ . We can factor this to get that $(a+2)(a+5)=0$ . When the product of two numbers is equal to zero, one of the numbers must be equal to zero. This means that either a + 2 = 0, in which case a = -2, or a + 5 = 0, in which case a = -5.
