Answer:

Total discount = $39.50

                  or 46.47 %

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to figure out what she will pay for the shoes.  She is getting 30 percent off the 65 dollars.

Discount = price * percent off

                = 65*.3

                = 19.50

The cost of her shoes is the price minus the discount.

Cost = 65- 19.5

        = 45.50


To find the total discount, take the original price and subtract the final cost.

Total discount = 85-45.50

                        = 39.50

To find the total percent discount, we use the formula

      total percent discount = (original - final)/original * 100

                                             = (85- 45.50)/85 * 100

                                             = 39.5/85*100

                                              = 46.47%

25% assuming you don’t count the car with 18 mpg fuel efficiency.

if you add the amount of cars up that have less than 18 mpg and then divide it by the total number (12) you will get a decimal (0.25) to find the percent multiply the decimal by 100

Factorise <br> a) 3x^2-7x+2<br> b)2x^2-x-3<br> c)3x^2-16x-12
Luba_88 [7]

Answer: Answers are in the steps read carefully!

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 3x^2 - 7x + 2 To factor this polynomial, you have to find two numbers that their product is 6 and their sum is -7.  The numbers -1 and -6 works out because -6 times -1 is 6  and -6 plus -1 is -7.

Now rewrite the polynomial as

3x^2 - 1x - 6x + 2   Now group it  

(3x^2 - 1x) (-6x+2)  Factor it by groups

x (3x -1)  -2(3x -1)    Now factor out 3x-1  

(3x -1) (x-2)  Done!    

B)  2x^2 - x -3     Now the same way.You will have two numbers that  their product is -6 and their sum is -1. You may be wondering how I get -6 .I get -6 by multiply the leading coefficient  2 by the constant -3.  The numbers -3 and 2 works out. Because -3 times 2 is -6 and -3 plus 2 is -1.

 Rewrite the polynomial as

2x^2 +2x - 3x -3     GRoup them and factor them

(2x^2 + 2x)  (-3x-3)  

2x(x+1) -3(x+1)  Factor out x+1

(x+1) (2x -3) Done!  

C) 3x^2 - 16x - 12   Find two numbers that their product is -36 and their sum is -12. The numbers -18 and 2 works out because -18 times 2 is -36 and -18 plus 2 is -16.

Rewrite the polynomial

3x^2 +2x -18x - 12   GRoup them

 (3x^2 + 2x)   (-18x - 12)   Factor them

x (3x +2) -6(3x +2)  Factor out 3x+2

(3x+2) (x -6)  Done !

1/7x-5=2 can anyone solve for X?
Vikki [24]

In this equation x = 49.

In order to find this, follow the order of operation of solving equations.

1/7x - 5 = 2 -----> Add 5 to both sides

1/7x = 7 ----> Multiply both sides by 7

x = 49
