Hey! So first you'd convert the 5% to a decimal. Which would be 0.05. Then, multiply the original cost (170) by the decimal (0.05). You would get 8.5. Subtract that number from the original cost and you get $161.50 as the final answer.

If you multiply two prime numbers, will the result be prime or composite?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

It can never be a prime number.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the product of the two prime numbers are divisible by those two numbers, therefore going against the definition of a prime number. For example 3 and 5 are prime numbers and their product is 15. 15 can be divided by 3 and 5 so it is not a prime number.

Hope this helps.
