Answer:the price of jeans now is $12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the current price of the jeans. At the local department store, jeans are typically priced at $15. It means that the original price of the jeans is $15 .
Due to a special, the jeans are reduced to 80% of their original price. This means that the original price was reduced by 20%. Therefore, the current price, x would be
x = 15 - (20/100 × 15) = 15 - 3
x = $12
Answer:
i cant answer that
Step-by-step explanation: I cant answer because if it was for a quiz i bet the quiz is over now so there is no point in answering.
If the length of a rectangle is a two-digit number with identical digits and the width is 1/10 the length and the perimeter is 2 times the area of the rectangle, what is the the length and the width
Solution:
Let the length of rectangle=x
Width of rectangle=x/10
Perimeter is 2(Length+Width)
= 2(x+x/10)
Area of Rectangle= Length* Width=x*x/10
As, Perimeter=2(Area)
So,2(x+x/10)=2(x*x/10)
Multiplying the equation with 10, we get,
2(10x+x)=2x²
Adding Like terms, 10x+x=11x
2(11x)=2x^2
22x=2x²
2x²-22x=0
2x(x-11)=0
By Zero Product property, either x=0
or, x-11=0
or, x=11
So, Width=x/10=11/10=1.1
Checking:
So, Perimeter=2(Length +Width)=2(11+1.1)=2*(12.1)=24.2
Area=Length*Width=11*1.1=12.1
Hence, Perimeter= 2 Area
As,24.2=2*12.1=24.2
So, Perimeter=2 Area
So, Answer:Length of Rectangle=11 units
Width of Rectangle=1.1 units
Combine like terms
8u+3u= 11u
and
9v-5v= 4v
So the answer is 11u+4v
