C. 19.42% because you subtract 389.85 from 314.15 which equals 75.7. So then set it up like an algebraic equation. 389.85x=75.7 divide 75.7 by 389.85 to find the decimal. Then you have to move the decimal to the right two places, since it is a percentage. And then round your answer, so c. 19.42% is your answer. Hope this helped! :)

Answer: C. 19.42 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the initial price of the necklace = $ 389.85,

Final price of the necklace = $ 314.15,

Total discount in the price  = 389.85 - 314.15 = $ 75.7

Since,

\text{ The discount percentage}=\frac{\text{ Total discount}}{\text{Initial price}}\times 100

=\frac{75.7}{389.85}\times 100

=\frac{7570}{389.85}=19.4177248\approx 19.42\%

Hence, The price decreased 19.42%.

⇒ Option C is correct.

Find the inverse function of
shtirl [24]

Answer:

f(x) = 20x - 4 \\ substitute \: y \: for \: f(x) \\ y = 20x - 4 \\ interchange \: x \: and \: y \\ x = 20y - 4 \\ swap \: the \: sides \: of \: the \: equation \\ 20y - 4 = x \\ move \: the \: constant \: to \: the \: right \: hand \\ 20y = x + 4  \\ divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 20 \\ y =  \frac{1}{20} x +  \frac{1}{5}  \\ substitute \: f {}^{ - 1} (x) \: for \: y \\ f {}^{ - 1} (x) =  \frac{1}{20} x +  \frac{1}{5}

The domain of the inverse of a relation is the same as the range of the original relation. In other words, the y-values of the relation are the x-values of the inverse.

Thus, domain of f(x): x∈R = range of f¯¹(x)

and range of f(x): x∈R =domain of f¯¹(x)

Why are the factors in your multiplication sentences in a different order​
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

In multiplication, the order doesn't matter.

2 rows of 7 and 7 rows of 2 is the same.

If you have seven 2's, that's the same as two 7's.

See here:

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 14

7 + 7 = 14

Or:

2 * 7 = 7 * 2 = 14

Edward is collecting data on the average length of lizards from head to tail for a particular generation. Initially, the average
Zina [86]

Answer:

The general form of a natural logarithmic function is <em>f(x)=a In(x-h) +k.</em> Since the initial average length of the lizards was 20 centimeters, one possible point (h+1,k) through which the function passes is (0,20).

In this case, h= -1 since h +1 = 0 and k = 20.

It follows that x - h = (-1) = x + 1.

So, the function takes the form <em>f(x) = a In(x + 1) +20. </em>

The average length of the lizards after 2 years is 22.197. So f(2) =22.197. We substitute this value into the function

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>f(2) = a In(2 +1) +20 </em>

<em>22.197 = a In(3) + 20 </em>

<em></em>\frac{2.197}{1.099}<em>≈ a </em>

<em>2 ≈ a</em>

So the function that represents the average length of the lizards across this generation is <em>f(x) = 2 In(x+1) +20 </em>

The coat was $10 then was raised to $12 what was the percent increase
Colt1911 [192]

\frac{12 - 10}{10}
Thats what you would use, so now 2/10 is .2 When you divide so you move the decimal so 20%
The percent increase is 20%
