No, it isn't!

first, the discount is 20 percent of 18 dollars, that is 18/5=3.6

this means that during the first week the prize is 18-3.6=14.4

now, the prize is marked up 20 % of 14.4! this is 2.88

so the prize later will be 14.4+2.88, that is 17.28, not 18

what is relevant here is what a number is a percent OF

Find ​(a) PQ to the nearest tenth and ​(b) the coordinates of the midpoint of __ pq.
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

a) 5units

b) (4.5, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the coordinate of P and Q be P(3, 2) and Q(6, 6)

PQ can be gotten using the distance formula;

PQ =√(6-2)²+(6-3)²

PQ = √4²+3²

PQ =√16+9

PQ =√25

PQ = 5units

Midpoint M is  expressed as;

M(X, Y) = {(x1+x2)/2, y1+y2/2}

X = x1+x2/2

X = 3+6/2

X= 9/2

X = 4.5

Similarly;

Y = y1+y2/2

Y = 2+6/2

Y = 8/2

Y = 4

Hence the midpoint of PQ is (4.5, 4)

Suppose you and your 4 friends (5 people) are dressing up as the 6 main characters of the first Avengers movie: Iron Man, Hulk,
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

720

Step-by-step explanation:

If every person has to choose a different character, the first person to choose a character has 6 options, the second has 5, the third has 4, the fourth has 3, and the last person has only two options. Therefore, the total number of ways you can do this if all 5 people dress up as a different character is:

n=6*5*4*3*2\\n=720

There are 720 ways.

The melt in your mouth chocolate factory is a rectangular building the distance across the front of the store is 294 feet the di
deff fn [24]

Answer:

The sign would be 784 ft. long.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sign would be painted across the total perimeter of the building.

- the distance across the front of the store is 294 feet

- the distance from the front to the back is one third of this distance = (1/3) × 294 = 98 ft.

The perimeter of a rectangular = 2(L + B)

L = length of the building = 294 ft.

B = Breadth of the building = 98 ft.

Perimeter of the chocolate factory that the Sign would be painted across = 2(294 + 98) = 784 ft.

Hope this Helps!!!
