Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent means 'out of 100' meaning it can be transferred into a fraction - out of 100

20% = 20/100

But we can simply this by dividing the numerator and the denominator both by 20 as they both fit into 20.

20 / 100

÷20 ÷20

1 / 5

A store has clearance items that have been marked down by 60%. They are having a sale, advertising an additional 15% off clearan

astra-53 [7]

Answer: 34%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Price is marked down by 60% with an additional discount of 15% on the marked down price

Suppose x is the original price of the item

After marking down, it is

$\Rightarrow x-x\times 0.6=0.4x$

after additional discount it is

$\Rightarrow 0.4x(1-0.15)=0.4x\times 0.85=0.34x$

Effective discount on the item is

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{x-0.34x}{x}\times 100=66\%$

Thus, a person is paying $100-66=34\%$ of the original price

If you know that log5 (2) - log5 (12) = 0, which of the following is false?

garri49 [273]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A is correct because $log_5(12)$ was added on both sides, which is supported by the Additive Property of Equality

C is correct because the Quotient Property of Logarithms states that $log_bM-log_bN=log_b(\frac{M}{N} )$

so $log_5(x)-log_5(12)=log_5(\frac{x}{12} )$ is correct

D is correct because using the fact that $log_5x=log_512$ it is easy to figure out that x=12

For B, there is no property supporting that statement.
