Answer:
1-x represents the percent of the original price being paid.
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression 24(1−x) gives the discounted price of a pair of shorts, where x is the percent of the discount written in decimal form.
For example , 10% is the discount percentage
1 - 10% = 90% will be the percentage of original price to be paid
Here x represents the percent of the discount
so 1-x represents the percent of the original price being paid.
Answer:
The total weight of both suitcases is 53 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Write an expression that you can use to find the weight of the blue suitcase.
b = 3/4 * g - 10
Then explain how you can find the total weight of both suitcases if the green suitcase weighs 36 pounds.
b + g = 3/4 * g - 10 + g = 7/4 * g - 10 = 7/4 * 36 - 10 = 53 pounds

Answer: 50%
Step-by-step explanation:
In 2010 the percentage of fatal accidents was 16%.
This is 34% less than it was in 2000 because the text says that the 2010 percentage was 16% after being reduced by 34% from 2010.
The percentage of fatal accidents in 2000 is therefore:
= 2010 fatal percentage + Percentage reduced from 2000
= 16% + 34%
= 50%
I'm not good with intigers, but if you added two negative intigers together wouldn't it still be negative? If you added -1 to -2 you'd get -3. It would always be less than the two original integers.
