Answer:

So I would say any one of the following:

(1-.2)p

p-.2p

.8p

Step-by-step explanation:

If you start with price p and you are getting it marked down 20%, then you are paying (100-20)%p.

So you have:

(1-.2)p

or if you use distributive property:

1(p)-.2(p)

p-.2p

or if you combine the like terms:

.8p

Solve each of the following quadratic equations 3x=0.5x^2 0=5x^2-2x+6

UNO [17]

Question 1

$3x=0.5x^{2}\\\\6x=x^{2} \\ \\ x^{2}-6x=0 \\ \\ x(x-6)=0 \\ \\ \boxed{x=0, 6}$

Question 2

$0=5x^{2}-2x+6 \\ \\ x=\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{(-2)^{2}-4(5)(6)}}{2} \\ \\ x=\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{-116}}{10} \\ \\ x=\frac{2 \pm 2i\sqrt{29}}{10} \\ \\ \boxed{x=\frac{1 \pm i\sqrt{29}}{5}}$

17% of what number is 3.4

saw5 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We already have our first value 3.4 and the second value 17. Let's assume the unknown value is Y which answer we will find out.

As we have all the required values we need, Now we can put them in a simple mathematical formula as below:

Step 1 ---> 3.4 = 17% × Y

Step 2 ---> 3.4 = 17/100 × Y

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides of the equation by 17 we will arrive at:

Step 3 ---> Y = 3.4 × 100/17

Step 4 ---> Y = 3.4 × 100 ÷ 17

Step 5 ---> Y = 20

Finally, we have found the value of Y which is 20 and that is our answer.

<h3>*You can easily calculate 3.4 is 17 percent of what number by using any regular calculator, simply enter 3.4 × 100 ÷ 17 and you will get your answer which is 20*</h3>

Jack took out a 6-year loan for $25,000 to purchase a boat at a 4.5% interest rate. If the interest is compounded monthly, what

Kruka [31]

Answer: $32,732.58

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total loan payment over the course of the loan period, use the future value formula:

= Loan amount * (1 + rate) ^ number of years

As this loan is compounded monthly, you need to convert certain terms to monthly figures:

Number of periods = 6 * 12 months = 72 months

Interest = 4.5 / 12 = 0.375%

Total payment:

= 25,000 * ( 1 + 0.375%)⁷²

= $32,732.58
