Hmmm.. I solved it and got 82%. I may be wrong, but try it out.

18.4%

Start by dividing 160 by 196 (which gives you 0.816... or 81.6%) which is the percent you're still paying, thus if you subtract that from 1, it should give you the percent off (1-0.816=0.186... or 100-81.6=18.4)

Customers can pick their own apples at well orchards. They pay $6 to enter the orchard and $2 per pound for the apples they pick

Anvisha [2.4K]

Y=6+2x

Since y equals the total cost, it will be on its own in the equation. 6 dollars is a set amount, meaning that no matter how many apples they pick it’ll stay the same. HOWEVER, the cost will change depending on how many pound of apples they get

Every pound of apples is equal to 2 dollars, and since x stands for pounds of apples, it’ll be ( ex: x = 2, so 2x = 2(2) = 4)

So the equation will be y = 6 + 2x

Initially a ship and a submarine are stationary at sea level, positioned 1.78km apart. The submarine then manoeuvres to position

poizon [28]

I’m assuming ‘dives further’ means to go directly down

the angle of elevation of the ship from the submarine is equal to the angle of depression of the submarine from the ship, if we assume the sea level is perpendicular to ‘directly down’.

let both of these angles to be = $ when the submarine is at A and ¥ when the submarine is at B (excuse the lack of easily accessible variables as keys)

then this become a simple trig problem:

A)

Let O be the position of of the ship, and C be the original position of the submarine.

therefore, not considering direction

|OC| = 1.78km = 1780m

|CA| = 45m

these are the adjacent and opposite sides of a right angled triangle.

But tan($) = opp/adj = |CA|/|OC| = 45/1780

therefore $ = arctan(45/1780) which is roughly 1.45 degrees,

B)

similarly, noting that |CB| = |CA| + |AB| = 45 + 62 = 107m

tan(¥) = 107/1780

¥ = arctan(107/1780) which is roughly 3.44 degrees
