First Set x to the value of the smallest integer.

so the value of x for each increasing term can be generalized as follows

x +

$x + x + 1 + x + 2 = - 126 \\$

Let log P/N=8 and log M/N=5 What is the relationship between P and M?

Radda [10]

Want to use some of the algebra rules of log's:

log(a)-log(b)= log(a/b),

so log(P/N) - log(M/N) = log( P/N:M/N) = log(P/M),

Then: 8-5 = log(P/M), log(P/M)=3.

If log here means natural logarithm (base e), then P/M = e^3,

If log here means basis 10, decimal logarithm, then P/M = 10^3 = 1000.

A bike shop marks up a hybrid bike from $200 to $330 and discounts a road bike from 330 to 200 by what you percent is the road b

erik [133]

Answer:

39.39%

Step-by-step explanation:

There's a nice little formula that is used to find percentage change which works regardless of if it's an increase or decrease.

$Percent~Change = |\frac{New~Value~-~Original~Value}{Original~Value}| * 100$

1 - Understanding the equation

The '|'s which are surrounding the fraction are absolute value symbols in mathematics,

Absolute value means the positive value of anything inside

Examples:

| -8 | = 8

| 8 | = 8

and

| -2 | = 2

| 2 | = 2

the * 100 means you multiply (the * symbol means multiply) by 100.

We do this to get it into a percent.

3 - Assign numbers to the values from our equation

Original Value (What it changed from): 330

New Value (What it changed to): 200

3 - Plug in our values into our variables from our equation $Percent~Change = |\frac{200-330}{330}| * 100 = |\frac{-130}{330}| = = |-0.39...| * 100 = 0.3939... *100 =$

Our percent change is 39.39%, and with our percent in which is discounted being the same, we have our answer.

Hope this helps :)

Luke bought a jacket that was 30% off the cost. He paid sales tax of 6% after the discount had been applied. If the jacket had a

nasty-shy [4]

Answer: the actual amount that Luke paid including tax is $55.65

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial price of the jacket is $75.

Luke bought a jacket that was 30% off the cost. This means that the amount of discount on the Jacket is

30/100 × 75 = 0.3 × 75 = $22.5

The price of the jacket after the discount had been applied is

75 - 22.5 = $52.5

He paid sales tax of 6% after the discount had been applied. This means that the amount of sales tax that he paid on the jacket is

6/100 × 52.5 = 0.06 × 52.5 = 3.15

Therefore, the actual amount that Luke paid including tax is

52.5 + 3.15 = $55.65
