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

A spinner is divided into 4 sections. The spinner is spun 100 times. The probability distribution shows the results.
Vitek1552 [10]

P(1≤x≤3) defined the probability that the result is between 1 and 3, included. You can answer this question in two ways:

1. Sum the probabilities of good events:

From the graph, we have

P(x=1) = 0.32,\quad P(x=2) = 0.24,\quad P(x=3) = 0.28

So,

P(1\leq x \leq 3) = 0.32+0.24+0.28 = 0.84

2. Use complementary probabilities

Asking that the result is 1, 2 or 3 is the same as asking that the result is not 4. The probability that the result is 4 is 0.16, so the probability that the result is not 4 will be

P(x\neq 4) = 1-P(x=4) = 1-0.16=0.84

The result is obviously the same.

Mai's younger brother tells her that 10/7 is equal to square root of 2. Mai knows this can't be right,
Kryger [21]

Answer:

10/7 is a simple fraction, and √2 cannot be written as a simple fraction. So, they are not the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

10/7 is a number that has a numerator and a denominator.

Suppose √2 = 10/7, then √2 can also be written as a number that has a numerator and a denominator.

Since this is not the case, 10/7 cannot be the same as √2.

The equations of two lines are given. Determine if the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

8x-7y=6

or, -7y=-8x+6

or, y=8x/7-6/7

so the slope is 8/7

8x-y=-8

or, -y=-8x-8

or, y=8x+8

So the slope is 8

Both has different slope and they don't satisfy the property of being perpendicular to each others, so they're neither parallel nor perpendicular.
