Morgan should first take the 40% off then apply the $15 coupon

Lets say her total was $150.

If you take the 40% off first, you get $90

150 * .6 = 90 (since you are taking off 40% you are still paying the rest of the 60% so you can just save extra steps by multiplying by .6 and not .4)

Now you subtract 15 from that value.

90 - 15 = 75 If Morgan takes the 40% off first and then applies the $15 dollar coupon, she has to pay $75.

If she applies the $15 coupon first, her total before the 40% is $135

150 - 15 = 135

The total will come out to be $81

$135 * .6 = 81

If Morgan takes the discount first before applying the coupon she has to pay less and saves the most money.

If a basketball player made 72 out of 85 free throws attempts how many could she make in 200 attempts
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

169

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a proportion:

72/85=x/200

Solve for x

(72)(200)=85x

x=(72)(200)/85

x=169.41≈ 169

She can make 169 of 200 free throws.

Emma borrowed $89.40 from her sister. She determines that she can pay her back the total over six months. Which number reflects
omeli [17]

Answer:

$14.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

we are told that Emma borrowed $89.40 from her sister to pay her back in 6 months.

let us solve for the amount she is to pay her sister every month.

amount to be paid per month= 89.40/6

=$14.9

So that every month she pays back her sister $14.9

we don't know her balance but every month there will be a deduction.

Hence the monthly change in her balance is reflected by a deduction of $14.9

How to find the volume of the cone
gavmur [86]

Answer:

The closest measurement to the volume of hat is 84.82 in.³.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The dimensions of hat are height(h) 9 inches and diameter(d) 6 inches.

Now, to find the volume of cone:

Putting the formula \frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h.

Radius(r) is not given, finding the radius:

Radius(r)=half of the diameter(d)

r=\frac{d}{2}

r=\frac{6}{2}

r=3.

Then, \frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h

=\frac{1}{3}\times\pi \times3^{2}\times9

=\frac{1}{3}\times3.14\times9\times9 (\pi =3.14)

=\frac{1}{3} \times254.34

=\frac{254.34}{3}

=84.78 in.³

So, the volume is 84.78 in.³ .

Therefore, the closest measurement to the volume of hat is 84.82 in.³.
