Answer:

Sample Response: Kelvin should have subtracted $18.39 from $30.65 to find the marked down price. He could also have multiplied the original cost by 40% to find the sale price of $12.26.

The error.....Kelvin just figured the 60% markdown cost...not the final price

the final price would be : 30.65 - 0.60(30.65) = 30.65 - 18.39 = 12.26
so 12.26 is the final price

or another way to do this is : if it is marked down 60%, then u r actually paying 40%......0.40(30.65) = 12.26

a group raised $276 for its favorite charity. this is 23% of the amount it hopes to raise. how much money does the group want to
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer: The group wants to raise $1,200.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a proportion to solve.

part/whole = percent/100

If we insert the values:

276/x = 23/100

We can cross multiply.

276 x 100 = 27,600

27,600 / 23 = 1,200

$1,200 is the answer.

The prevalence of cigarette smoking in the united states is in decline if the percentage of smokers in 2014 was 16.7% and the pe
astraxan [27]

The linear formula for the sequence whose terms represent the percentage of americans who smoke n years after 2014 is:

a(n) = -5.6n + 16.7

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and for a time-dependent function, can also be interpreted as the initial value.

In this problem:

  • The percentage of smokers in 2014 was 16.7%, hence the initial value is b = 16.7
  • The percentage is decreasing by 5.6% each year, hence the slope is m = -5.6.

Then, the <em>equation </em>is:

y = mx + b

a(n) = -5.6n + 16.7

Martin is covering his bathroom floor with square tiles. When he gets to the end of a row of tiles, he needs to cut the length o
kati45 [8]

All squares are equal sides.Let X be the side of a square.\\Area of square,A = x^2

Here a tile is a square of side length 'x'. The following  polynomial represents,

(x - 4) represents "the width of the new tile" (because 4 inches cut from the tile)

4x represents "the area removed from the tile" (since one side of removed tile is 'x' and other is 4 inches.)

x2  represents "area of original tile" of side equal to 'x'

x represents "the length of the new tile" (since length of new tile  is not reduced. Length =x and breadth is x-4
