Answer:

$47, 17.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

When she buys the $20 book, she can get 40% off either the $15, $12, or $10 book.  She'll save the most by getting 40% off the $15 book.

Then, when she buys the $12 book, she'll get %40 off the $10 book.

The total she pays is:

20 + (0.60)(15) + 12 + (0.60)(10)

20 + 9 + 12 + 6

47

Without the discounts, the cost of the books would have been:

20 + 15 + 12 + 10

57

So she saves $10.  10 out of 57 is approximately 17.5%.

A 1 km long train travelling at a speed of 60km/h enter a tunnel 1km long. What time will the train take to come out of the tunn
zysi [14]

Answer:

2 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The front of the train enters the tunnel and travels 1 km before the rear of the train enters the tunnel.  Thus, the total distance traveled by the front of the train is 2 km, and this is covered in a certain number of hours:

Since distance = rate times time, time = distance / rate.  In this particular case we have:

                                              2 km

time = distance / rate = ------------------- = (1/30) hr

                                           60 km/hr

(1/30) hr converts to 2 minutes, since 1 hr = 60 minutes

Which of the following point-slope form equations could be produced with the points (4, 5) and (-3, -5)?
NikAS [45]

Answer:

<em>Equation; y = 1 3 / 7x - 5 / 7</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

First consider the slope of this equation we must derive;

Slope Formula = Rise / Run,

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 ⇒

5 - ( - 5 ) / 4 - ( - 3 ) ⇒

10 / 7 ⇒ Slope : 1 3 / 7

So far we can formulate an equation as such;

y = 1 3 / 7 * x + b, <em>where b ⇒ y - intercept</em>

Given one of the points, substitute into this equation solving for b;

5 = 1 3 / 7 * ( 4 ) + b,

5 = 40 / 7 + b,

b = - 5 / 7

From this we can derive one point - slope from equation to be :

<em>Equation; y = 1 3 / 7x - 5 / 7</em>

Solve c: P = a+b+c+d / 4
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

  • as written: c = P - a - b - d/4
  • with parentheses: c = 4P - a - b - d

Step-by-step explanation:

The meaning of the given expression is ...

  P = a + b + c + (d/4)

To solve for c, subtract all the terms on the right side not containing c.

  P -(a + b + (d/4)) = c

  c = P - a - b - (d/4)

_____

In such equations, parentheses are commonly missing. If that is the case here, then first we undo the division by 4, then we subtract the "not c" terms.

  P = (a + b + c + d)/4 . . . . maybe what you meant

  4P = a + b + c + d . . . . . . multiply by 4

  4P - (a +b +d) = c

  c = 4P -a -b -d
