The original price of the shorts was $22.50. I used the calculator and started multiplying numbers by .80 (80%) until I multiplied 22.50 x .80 and it equaled 18. Basically you have to divide the percentage that the problem gives you, in this case 20, by 100 (20/100 = .20). Then find how much it lacks to have 100 (in this case it is 80), when you divide that by 100, you are left with .80. You then start to multiply that by numbers until you get your answer. I'm sure that there is a much simpler way to answer this math problem but this is the only way I can think right now of solving it. I hope this helps you!!

Answer:

<h2><u><em>32</em></u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the question is:

12 * (3 + 2^2) : 2 - 10 =       remember PEMDAS

12 * (3 + 4) : 2 - 10 =

12 * 7 : 2 - 10 =

84 : 2 - 10 =

42 - 10 =

Louis bought a burger and soda for $8. Kate purchased a slice of pizza and soda for $9. Biff purchased a burger, a slice of pizz
Arte-miy333 [17]

The equation for Louis's purchase is: x+y=8

The equation for Kate's purchase is: y+z=9

The equation for Biff's purchase is: x+y+z=13.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we have to define variables for each item involved in the purchase

Let x represent burger

y represent soda

z be the slice of pizza

Then

"Louis bought a burger and soda for $8"

x+y=8

"Kate purchased a slice of pizza and soda for $9"

y+z=9

"Biff purchased a burger, a slice of pizza and a soda for $13.50"

x+y+z=13.50

The equation for Louis's purchase is: x+y=8

The equation for Kate's purchase is: y+z=9

The equation for Biff's purchase is: x+y+z=13.50

Find the value of angel 0 to the nearest 10th<br>​
BaLLatris [955]

Answer: 36.9

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question you have to find out whether you are using Sin, Cos or Tan.

To work out which one you are using you can use SOH CAH TOA to help you.

SOH- The 'S' is for Sin, the 'O' and the 'H' is for Opposite over Hypotenuse.

CAH- The 'C' is for Cos and the 'A' and the 'H' is for Adjacent over Hypotenuse.

TOA- The 'T' is for Tan, the 'O' and the 'A is for Opposite over Adjacent.

As you have the Opposite (the side opposite the angle we're looking for) and the Adjacent (the side next to the angle were looking for) we would be using Tan.

So first you would have to write:

Tanθ=3/4

Then because we want Theta (θ) on it's own we would have to do the inverse to 'undo' the equation. Tan-1 is the inverse of Tan.

θ=Tan-1 3/4

To find the answer you would have to put it in your calculator.

θ=36.9

Hope this helps :)

A field bordering a straight stream is to be enclosed. The side bordering the stream is not to be fenced. If 1000 yards of fenci
sveta [45]

Answer:

x  =  500 yd

y  =  250 yd

A(max) = 125000 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let´s call x the side parallel to the stream ( only one side to be fenced )

y the other side of the rectangular area

Then the perimeter of the  rectangle  is  p  =  2*x  + 2* y  ( but only 1 x will be fenced)

p  =  x  +  2*y

1000  =  x   +  2 * y         ⇒    y  =  (1000 - x )/ 2

And   A(r)  =  x * y

Are as fuction of x

A(x)  =  x  *  (  1000  -  x ) / 2

A(x)  =   1000*x / 2 -  x² / 2

A´(x)  =  500  -  2*x/2

A´(x)  =  0              500   -  x   =  0

x  =  500 yd

To find out if this value will bring function A to a maximum value we get the second derivative

C´´(x)  =  -1         C´´(x) < 0  then efectevly we got a maximum at  x  = 500

The side  y  = ( 1000  -  x ) / 2

y  =  500/ 2

y  =  250 yd

A(max)  =  250 * 500

A(max) = 125000 yd²
