No, it is not 35% off... Let me explain.  Let's say the original price is $100 to make the math easy.  When you take 25% off then take an additional 10% off, the 10% is off of the discounted price, so

100 x 25% = 100 x .25 = 25 dollar discount
New price = $75

Now 10% off of $75
10% x 75 = .10 x 75 = $7.50 discount
New price = 75 - 7.50 = $67.50


Now, if you just took 35% off of $100

100 x 35% = 100 x .35 = $35 discount
New Price = 100 - 35 = $65

Bottom line... when you take an "extra" percentage off, you are taking a percentage of a smaller number, so the discount is not as big.

Suppose you had d dollars in your bank account. You spent $12 but have at least $51 left. How much money did you have initially?
PtichkaEL [24]

For this case we must raise an inequality.

We have "d" dollars initially and they are spent 12. Then:

d-12

At least 51 dollars remain, then, the sign of inequality is greater or equal in favor of the expressiond-12, that is:

d-12\geq 51

Resolving:

d\geq 51 + 12\\d\geq 63

There are at least 63 dollars left in the account.

Answer:

d-12\geq 51\\d\geq 63

A student wants to find the answer to the question “What is the most popular restaurant in Bedford?” He asks 20 randomly selecte
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The survey results will be inaccurate since the entire sample of the population was eating at the same restaurant.

Step-by-step explanation:

When doing a survey you must make sure it is unbiased by asking a variety of people for example if you are wondering what is the favorite class at school you have to ask a certain amount of people from each class because if you ask only people from P.E the answer more than likely will be P.E or if u ask 3 people from Art and 17 from P.E your answer will properly be P.E. Make sense?
