Answer: she is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

If Emily had a coupon for 20 percent off her purchase, this means that whatever she bought, the total amount would be reduced by 20%. She will be paying 80%

She finds a backpack she likes on the discount rack. It's original price is $60, but everything on the rack comes with a 30 percent discount.

This means that ordinarily,the amount she is meant to pay on the total goods she is buying is 30% lesser than $60. She will be paying

60 - (30/100 ×60)

60 - 0.3×60 = 60-18 = $42

Since she has a 20% coupon on total cost of goods bought, she would be paying

42 - (20/100 ×42)

42 - 0.2×42

= 42 - 8.4 = $33.6

Therefore,

If Emily says, "thirty percent and twenty percent make fifty percent so that her cost will be $30. She is incorrect. Her cost is $33.6

What is the equation of a line that has a y-intercept of 4 and an x-intercept of -2?​
Furkat [3]

Answer:

y = 2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points on this line are (-2, 0) and (0, 4).  Going from the first to the second, x increases by 2 (this is the 'run') and y increases by 4 ('rise').

Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run =  4/2 = 2

Using the slope-intercept formula, we get y = mx + b = 2x + b

Let x = -2 and y = 0 to find b:  0 = 2(-2) + b, so b = 4, and the desired equation is then:

y = 2x + 4

Help please!!! Thxxxxxx
Alika [10]

Answer:

40 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle ACO = 80 ( 180 - 100)

Angle CAO = 60 (180 - 120)

Angle AOC = 40 (180 - 80 - 60) (TOTAL DEGREES OF A TRIANGLE IS 180)

Determine if y=-2x-7 and -y=2x+13 are parallel, perpendicular, coincide or none of these
Goryan [66]
If you move the negative on the left side of the second equation over to the right side, then we can see that the equation is equivalent to y={-2x} - 13.

Remember that an equation y = mx + b represents a line with slope m and y-intercept b. Since both equations given have a slope of -2, but have different y-intercepts, they are parallel.
