Weight of potatoes........Cost
12 lb ................................. $17
18 lb ................................. X
by cross multiplication we get
12 X = 17 × 18
12 X = 306
X = 306/12
X = $ 25.5
The easiest way to do it (for me) is to find 1% of the regular price. I think we can round the prices to $70,00 and $40,00 to show nice percentage.
70 / 100 = 0,7
So 1% is 0,7. Now we can divide $40,00 by 0,7 to calculate how many percent it is:
40 / 0,7 = 57 (after rounding it to the nearest whole number)
So the discount was 100 - 57 = 43 percent.
Doublecheck (optional):
70 * 57% =
= 70 * 57/100 =
= 7 * 57/10 =
= 7 * 5 7,10 =
= 7 * 5,7 =
= 39,9 (the price after the discount)
70 * 43% =
= 70 * 43/100 =
= 7 * 43/10 =
= 7 * 4 3/10 =
= 7 * 4,3 =
= 30,1 (the value of the discount)
The difference of 0,1 is because of the rounding, but it's correct.
Answer:
18 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle is an iscoceles right triangle.
The angles in a triangle add up to 180.
90+2y (iscoceles) =180
2y=90
y=45
So the angles of the right triangle are 45. However, you have to take away 27 because you are solving for only a part of 45. 45-27=18

Answer: 180 degrees</h3>
note: it doesn't matter if its clockwise or counterclockwise when it comes to 180 degree rotations.
========================================
Explanation:
The rule for 180 degree rotations is
(x,y) ---> (-x, -y)
So the x and y coordinates flip in sign from positive to negative, or vice versa.
Point D ' (-3, 5) rotates to D ' (3, -5) following this rule
-----------------
A further detailed break down might look like this
x = -3 becomes -x = -(-3) = 3
y = 5 becomes -y = -5
(-3, 5) ----> (3, -5)
Answer:
- 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the slope-intercept form to figure out our slope.
y = mx + b
Get y alone:
x + 2y = -8
2y = -x - 8
y = -x/2 - 4
Since m is the slope in y = mx + b, we can see that -1/2 is in the place of m, therefore our slope is -1/2
