An mp3 player is on sale for 25% off. The original price is $52.60. What is the sale price?

1 answer:

4 0

First, you need to find 25% of 52.60

Convert 25% to decimal:
25% = .25

Find 25% by multiplying its decimal equivalent by the sales price.

.25 x 52.60 = 13.15

Next, subtract that amount from 52.60 to find the new sale price.

52.60 - 13.15 = 39.45

The final price is $39.45

2x2 − 1 = 3x + 4 Which equation correctly applies the quadratic formula?

NNADVOKAT [17]

Standard form: ax^2 + bx + c = y

Steps to simplify:

2x^2 - 1 = 3x + 4

~Subtract (3x + 4) to both sides

2x^2 - 1 - 3x + 4 = 3x + 4 - 3x + 4

~Simplify

2x^2 - 3x - 5 = 0

(a = 2, b = -3, c = -5)

Now that we know what these values are, we can use the quadratic formula to solve.

$x=\frac{-b-+\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\x = \frac{-(-3)-+\sqrt{-3^2-4(2)(-5)} }{2(2)}\\x= \frac{-3-+\sqrt{49} }{4} \\x=\frac{3-+7}{4} \\x = \frac{10}{4}~or~\frac{-4}{4} \\x=\frac{5}{2}~or~-1$
