Original price of the item = $14.95

Price after discount = $13.79

Discount offered = original price - price after discount = 14.95- 13.79 = $1.16

Now let us find the percentage of discount offered.

Percentage discount is given by the formula:

Percentage discount = \frac{MP-SP}{MP}*100

Where MP= Marked price= original price

SP= selling price= price after discount

Percentage discount = \frac{1.16}{14.95}*100

Percentage discount = 7.759 %

Guys please help i'm stup!d
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Option B: 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 20 dots.

Such that each column represents the repetitions for each proportion.

So:

0.1 -> 3 times

0.2 -> 1 time

0.3 -> 4 times

0.4 -> 6 times

0.5 -> 3 times

0.6 -> 3 times

Now we can compute the mean of these values, and that will be the best estimation we can make with the given data.

Remember that for a set of N values:

{x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ}

The mean is:

M = \frac{x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n}{N}

In this case we have the set of 20 points described above, then the mean is:

M = \frac{3*0.1 + 1*0.2 + 4*0.3 + 6*0.4 + 3*0.5 + 3*0.6}{20} = 0.37

Rounding to the first place after the decimal point, we get:

M = 0.4

Then the correct option is option B.

Santa Claus is assigning elves to work an eight-hour shift making toy trucks. Apprentice earn five candy canes per hour but can
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

  (a) 5 senior, 4 apprentice

  (b) 368 per shift

  (c) 7.5 senior, 0 apprentice

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem can be described by two inequalities. On describes the limit on the number of elves in the shop; the other describes the limit on the total payroll. Let x and y represent the number of apprentice and senior elves, respectively. Then the inequalities for the first scenario are ...

  x + y ≤ 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . total number of elves in the shop

  5x +8y ≤ 480/8 . . . . . . candy canes per hour paid to elves

These two inequalities are graphed in the first attachment. They describe a solution space with vertices at ...

  (x, y) = (0, 7.5), (4, 5), (9, 0)

__

(a) Santa wants to  maximize the output of trucks, so wants to maximize the function t = 4x +6y.

At the vertices of the solution space, the values of this function are ...

  t(0, 7.5) = 45

  t(4, 5) = 46

  t(9, 0) = 36

Output of trucks is maximized by a workforce of 4 apprentice elves and 5 senior elves.

__

(b) The above calculations show 46 trucks per hour can be made, so ...

  46×8 = 368 . . . trucks in an 8-hour shift

__

(c) The new demands change the inequalities to ...

  x + y ≤ 8 . . . . . . number of workers

  7x +8y ≤ 60 . . . total wages (per hour)

The vertices of the feasible region for these condtions are ...

  (x, y) = (0, 7.5), (4, 4), (8, 0)

From above, we know the truck output will be maximized at the vertex (x, y) = (0, 7.5). However, we know we cannot have 7.5 senior elves working in the shop. We can have 7 or 8 elves working.

If the workforce must remain constant, truck output is maximized by a workforce of 7 senior elves.

If the workforce can vary through the shift, truck output is maximized by adding one more senior elf in the shop for half a shift.

Santa should assign 7 senior elves for the entire shift, and 8 senior elves (one more) for half a shift.

_____

<em>Comment on apprentice elf wages</em>

At 5 candy canes for 4 trucks, apprentice elves produced trucks for a cost of 1.25 candy canes per truck. At 8 candy canes for 6 trucks, senior elves produced trucks for a cost of about 1.33 candy canes per truck. The reason for employing senior elves in the first scenario is that their productivity is 1.5 times that of apprentice elves while their cost per truck is about 1.07 times that of apprentice elves.

After the apprentice elves wages were increased, their cost per truck is 1.75 candy canes per truck, but their productivity hasn't changed. They have essentially priced themselves out of a job, because they are not competitive with senior elves.

What would be the value of expressing something like the national debt in scientific notation? What information would be lost in
Vikki [24]
<span>As of January 8, 2015, the U.S. is $18.1 trillion in debt. (Source: National Priorities Project)

1 Trillion 

= 1 Thousand Billion

= 1,000,000,000,000

U.S National debt currently stands at:

$ 18.1 x 10</span><span>¹²
</span><span>
*What information would be lost? Well firstly the 0's. The 0's put the size of the number into perspective. The word "trillion" would also be taken out of the picture, once again altering the perspective of the number.

Personally I'd prefer to hear "18.1 Trillion Dollars". Sounds more interesting.
