You have to compute the prices of the two alternatives after deducting discount based on the different percentage given.

First alternative: $19.99 – ($19.99 x 20%) = $15.99

Second alternative: $17 – ($17 x 10%) = $15.30

Therefore, the alternative where there will be a 10% off on the original price of $17 for a book is cheaper.

For a science experiment, Mr.Barrows divided 1/2 cups of salt into small jars,each clothing 1/10 cup. If he has 1/9 cup of salt
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Number of jars filled is 3 \frac{8}{9} (approximately 4).

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial amount of salt = 1/2 cup.

Amount of salt left = 1/9 cup.

Amount of salt used = 1/2 - 1/9

                                  = \frac{9-2}{18}

                                  = 7/18

The size of each jar = 1/10 cup.

Amount of salt used = size of the each jar x number of jars filled

7/18 = 1/10 x number of jars filled

number of jars filled = 7/18 ÷ 1/10

                                  = 7/18 x 10/1

                                  = 70/18

                                  = 3 \frac{8}{9}

                                  = 3.9

The number of jars filled is approximately 4.

Let f={(1,2),(2,3),(5,6),(7,8) evaluate f(2)and f(5)?​
Flauer [41]

Given:

f=\{(1,2),(2,3),(5,6),(7,8)\}

To find:

The values of f(2) and f(5).

Solution:

If an ordered pair (x,y) is in the function f, then f(x)=y.

In the given set of ordered pairs one ordered pair is (2,3). So, by using the above definition, we get

f(2)=3

In the given set of ordered pairs one ordered pair is (5,6). So, by using the above definition, we get

f(5)=6

Therefore, the value of f(2) is 3 and the value of f(5) is 6.

20. x=<br>ML ABD =<br>m2 DBC =<br><br>​
galben [10]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

x = 18

m∠ABD = 36°

m∠DBC = 54°

Step-by-step explanation:

          m∠ABD + m∠DBC = 90°

          2x + 3x = 90°

          5x = 90°

          x = 90/5

          x = 18

m∠ABD = 2(18)

             = 36°

m∠DBC = 3(18)

              = 54°
