X percent = x/100
10 percent = 10/100 = 0.10

10% of $40 = 0.10*40 = 4

You save $4

The old price is $40 and changes to $36 after the discount is applied. This is ignoring any taxes or other surcharges

Anyways I'm going a bit off tangent. The final answer is choice B) $4

Which graph represents the solution to the given system? y = –2x + 5 and y = 3x – 2
DaniilM [7]
Y = -2x + 5        y =3x - 2
Since both equations are equal to 'y' you can set them equal to each other to solve.
-2x + 5 = 3x - 2             Subtract 3x from both sides
-5x + 5 = -2                  Subtract 5 from both sides
-5x = -7                        Divide -5 on both sides
x = 7/5
Plug 7/5 back in for x and solve for y.
y = -2(7/5) + 5
y = (-14/5) + (25/5)
y = 11/5
(7/5, 11/5) OR (1.4, 2.2)

The formula P=a+b+c gives perimeter P of triangle side lengths a,b,and c how much greater is perimeter when triangle measures 33
seropon [69]

Answer:

41 yards greater is the perimeter of 1st triangular field than the perimeter of 2nd triangular field.

First we have to calculate the perimeter of 1st triangle.

Given:

a = 33 yards

b = 56 yards

c = 65 yards

Now we have to calculate the perimeter of 2nd triangle.

Given:

a = 26 yards

b = 49  yards

c = 38 yards

Now we have to calculate which triangle has greater perimeter and how much greater.

Therefore, 41 yards greater is the perimeter of 1st triangular field than the perimeter of 2nd triangular field.

Step-by-step explanation:

(154-113)

41 yards bigger
