24% of x is 12
24/100 * x = 12
x = 12 * 100 / 24
= 100/2
= 50

To get that, you have to multiply the both numbers, which is 24*12=288

On a coordinate plane, quadrilateral Q R S T has points (0, 2), (negative 4, 0), (0, negative 3), and (4, 0).

Afina-wow [57]

By applying the definitions of rigid transformation ((x, y) → (0.5 · x, 0.5 · y)) and dilation, we conclude that the coordinates of Q'(x, y) are (0.1).

<h3>How to apply rigid transformations on a point</h3>

Herein we must apply a rigid transformation into a given point to determine an image. Rigid transformations are transformations applied on a geometric locus such that Euclidean distance is conserved. Dilations are a kind of rigid transformations such that:

(x, y) → (k · x, k · y), for k > 0

If we know that Q(x, y) = (0, 2) and k = 0.5, then the coordinates of Q' are:

Q'(x, y) = (0.5 · 0, 0.5 · 2)

Q'(x, y) = (0, 1)

By applying the definitions of rigid transformation ((x, y) → (0.5 · x, 0.5 · y)) and dilation, we conclude that the coordinates of Q'(x, y) are (0.1).

The price of a pair of jeans is $25. If there is a 15% discount, what is the sale price of the jeans?

dusya [7]

Answer:

$29.41

Step-by-step explanation:

You know the discount price is 25 and the original is unknown so call it x. The sale is 15% off and that means that the jeans are 85% of what they used to be since 100-15 is 85. Then you plug it into a formula of 25/x = 85/100 then you cross multiply to get 2500=85x and when you solve for x and round you get $29.41

Write an equation of the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints are (−1,1) and (7,−5)

icang [17]

The equation is $y = \frac{3}{2} x - \frac{11}{2}$

Explanation:

We have to first find the mid-point of the segment, the formula for which is

$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )$

So, the midpoint will be $(\frac{-1+7}{2} , \frac{1-5}{2} )\\\\$

= $(3,-2)$

It is the point at which the segment will be bisected.

Since we are finding a perpendicular bisector, we must determine what slope is perpendicular to that of the existing segment. To determine the segment's slope, we use the slope formula $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
