The answer to this question would be: p+q+r = 2 + 17 + 39= 58
In this question, p q r is a prime number. Most of the prime number is an odd number. If p q r all odd number, it wouldn't be possible to get 73 since
odd x odd + odd= odd + odd = even
Since 73 is an odd number, it is clear that one of the p q r needs to be an even number.
There is only one odd prime number which is 2. If you put 2 in the r the result would be:
pq+2= 73
pq= 71
There will be no solution for pq since 71 is prime number. That mean 2 must be either p or q. Let say that 2 is p, then the equation would be: 2q + r= 73
The least possible value of p+q+r would be achieved by founding the highest q since its coefficient is 2 times r. Maximum q would be 73/2= 36.5 so you can try backward from that. Since q= 31, q=29, q=23 and q=19 wouldn't result in a prime number r, the least result would be q=17
r= 73-2q
r= 73- 2(17)
r= 73-34=39
p+q+r = 2 + 17 + 39= 58
Answer:
(A) Your friend will save $282.
(B) Your friend will get 23.5% off the original price of the mattress.
Step-by-step explanation:
We first need to find out the price of the mattress after the 15% discount. Our first step is to find what 15% of 1,200 is. We can do this by multiplying the two numbers.
1,200 x 15% -----> 1,200 x 0.15= 180.
15% of $1,200 is $180.
Next subtract $180 from $1,200, which equals $1,020. We can now apply the 10% off internet coupon.
1,020 x 10% ------> 1,020 x 0.10= 102.
10% of $1,020 is $102.
Next we subtract $102 from $1,020 and we get $918, the final price of the discounted mattress.
We subtract to see how much money the friend saved.
$1,200 - $918= $282.
We can get the percentage by dividing $282 by $1,200.
282 / 1200= 0.235 decimal form ----> 23.5%
Answer:
$31.44
Step-by-step explanation:
29.95 * .05 = 1.49
29.95 + 1.49= 31.44 (you add because its tax)
hope this helps! :)
