Am I close or far ☹️
Is this a statement or a question
Answer:Jargon
Explanation: Jargons are refereed to a special language(mostly professional) used and understood by a particular group of people to communicate effectively some specific contexts within them which people outside the group may not be able to understand. There are different types of jargons which are political jargons, Workplace jargons, Millitary jargons,Medical jargons, Buisness jargons etc
Jargons should not be confused with slangs which is also particular to a group but merely an informal spoken language chosen instead of the standard language of a particular word or words and are most times funny expressions.
The answer is D. The reasoning behind this is because that statement does not contain a predicate, it only has a subject, (The Big Red Strawberries) and it tells where they are. It does not tell what they are doing.
I believe this is one of those "Find the original cost of the item" bracelets. If so, this is a simple process.
You have a bracelet that is NOW 50 dollars after a 20% increase in price. Who knows, maybe somebody lost some stocks, but now you need to know what the original price of this item was.
So, you have two numbers. $50, and 20%. You can't do anything with the 20% as it is, so you need to convert it to a decimal, which you do so by always moving the percent sign (%) two places to the left, and replacing it with a decimal sign (.)
You get .20
NOW, you must find out how much of a difference there was between the new price and old price. You can do just this by simply multiplying your NEW ($50) cost by your converted percentage.
50*.20=10 (carry the dollar sign from the 50 down)
This means there is a $10 difference in bracelet's old price and new price. You know there was an increase, so this means you now need to subtract 10 from 50 and you'll get your old price.
50-10=40
The bracelet's original price was $40. Bless the heart of whoever in management lost their stocks (joke).
If you want to check this, just simply add the difference and the old price together, if you get the new price, then you're correct. 10+40=50, so this is indeed correct.
~Hope this helps m8!
