Answer: 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A pair of snow boots at an equipment store in big bear that originally cost $60 is on sale for $36.

The discount amount = Original cost - Sale cost

= $60-$36=$24

Now, the rate of discount is given by :-

$\text{Rate of discount }=\dfrac{\text{Discount}}{\text{Original cost}}\times100\\\\=\dfrac{24}{60}\times100\\\\=40\%$

Hence, the rate of discount= 40%

The answer is a 40% discount because it costs $24 less than the original price and 24 divided by 60 is .4 or 40%!

Point B has coordinates (1,2). The x-coordinate of point A is negative 8. The distance between point A and point B is 15 uni

Answer:

The point A will be (-8,14) or (-8,-10).

Step-by-step explanation:

Point B has coordinates (1,2) and the x-coordinate of point A is - 8.

Let us assume that the coordinates of point A are (-8,k).

Now, given that the point A is 15 units apart from point B.

Therefore, from the distance formula, we can write that

$\sqrt{(1 - ( -8))^{2} + (2 - k)^{2}} = 15$

Now,squaring both sides, we get

$(1 - ( -8))^{2} + (2 - k)^{2} = 225$

⇒ $(2 - k)^{2} = 225 - 9^{2} = 144$

⇒ 2 - k = ± 12

⇒ k = 14 or -10.

Therefore, the point A will be (-8,14) or (-8,-10). (Answer)

We know that the distance between two points on the coordinate plane ( $x_{1}, y_{1}$ ) and ( $x_{2}, y_{2}$ ) is given by

$\sqrt{(x_{1} - x_{2})^{2} + (y_{1} - y_{2})^{2}}$ .
