a store advertises that customers can take 25%off the original price and then take an extra 10%off is this 35% of? explain

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.

Answer:

A stadium has 49000 seats.

Seats sell for $25 in Section A, z

$20 in Section B,-------------------x seats

$15 in Section C. ------------------y seats

(x+y)=z

25(x+y)+20x+15y=1052000

25x+25y+20x+15y=1052000

45x+40y=1052000

9x+8y=210400------------------1

2x+2y=49000

Given:

A quadrilateral inscribed in a circle.

To find:

The value of x and y.

Solution:

If a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle, then it is known as cyclic quadrilateral and the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary angles, it means their sum is 180 degrees.

$5x^\circ+110^\circ=180^\circ$ [Supplementary angles]

$5x^\circ=180^\circ -110^\circ$

$x^\circ=\dfrac{70^\circ}{5}$

$x^\circ=14^\circ$

The value of x is 14 degrees.

$2y^\circ+104^\circ=180^\circ$ [Supplementary angles]

$2y^\circ=180^\circ -104^\circ$

$y^\circ=\dfrac{76^\circ}{2}$

$y^\circ=38^\circ$

Therefore, the value of x is 14 degrees and the value of y is 38 degrees.

Find the equation of the line that passes through point (6, 1) with the x-intercept of 2.

34kurt

<u>Answer:</u>

○ $y = \frac{1}{4}x - \frac{1}{2}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

To find the equation of the line, let's first consider the points whose coordinates we have been given:

• (6, 1)

• (2, 0).

The point (2, 0) is what is called the x-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the x-axis. This means that at this point, the y-coordinate of the line is 0.

Next, let's calculate the slope (gradient) of the line using the formula:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$
