Answer:

NO.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem states the shirt is 25% OFF the original price not 25% OF it. Therefore after solving how much of it is 25% which in this case is $5, you would have to subtract that 25% from the original price. 25-5=20. The correct answer is $20.

The price of the shift is $20.

20% off of $25 means to subtract $5 off of $25, making it $20.

Answer:

  3×5×53

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use divisibility rules to find the small prime factors.

The number ends in 5, so is divisible by 5.

  795/5 = 159

The sum of digits is 1+5+9 = 15; 1+5 = 6, a number divisible by 3, so 3 is a factor.

  159/3 = 53 . . . . . a prime number,* so we're done.

795 = 3×5×53

_____

* If this were not prime, it would be divisible by a prime less than its square root. √53 ≈ 7.3. We know it is not divisible by 2, 3, or 5. We also know the closest multiples of 7 are 49 and 56, so it is not divisible by 7. Hence 53 is prime.

Points C and D lie on circle O as shown below. If OC = 6x+2 and OD = 10x -16, then find the length of the radius of circle O.
Ket [755]
Radius = OC = OD

Solve for x:

10x -16 = 6x+2

4x = 18

x = 9/2 = 4.5

Sub 'x' back into OC

OC = 6(4.5) + 2 = 29

Radius = 29

algol13

Answer:

The answer is 148.6666667

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Set a linear quation

\frac{22.30}{x}  =  \frac{15}{100}

2) Cross multiply

15x = 22.30 \times 100

3) Multiple the right side

15x = 2230

4) Divide both side by 15

\frac{15x}{15}  =  \frac{2230}{15}

5) Solve the linear equation

x = 148.6666667
