The original price is 100% of the price. If the price is marked 60% off, then you pay 40% of the original price.

An item costs x dollars.

With the 60% off discount, it now costs 40% of x, or 0.4x.

Now you apply a 30% discount.

For the second discount, consider the price 0.4x to be the new original price. If the price is now discounted 30%, you will pay 70% of the new original price.

Start with 0.4x.

Now calculate 70% of 0.4x.

70% of 0.4x = 0.70 * 0.4x = 0.28x

After applying the 60% discount and the 30% discount, the item that originally cost x now costs 0.28x. 0.28x is the same as 28% of x. The amount you pay is 28% of the original price.

Answer: 28%

Tiles (6" by 6") can be installed at the rate of 50 per worker hour. The floor of a large lobby area (80’ by 40’) is to be cover
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Tiles (6" by 6") can be installed at the rate of 50 per worker hour. Since the tile is a square, its area is

L^2 = 6^2 = 36 inches square

So in an hour, a worker installs 50 tiles whose area is 36 inches square. Total square meters installed per hour will be 50 × 36 = 1800 inches square per hour.

If three workers are assigned to this task, their work rate will be

1800 × 3 = 5400 inches square per hour.

The floor of a large lobby area (80’ by 40’) is to be covered with these tiles. We would convert from feet to inches.

1 foot = 12 inches

80 feet = 80 × 12 = 960 inches

40 feet = 40 × 12 = 480 inches

Area of the lobby = 90 × 480 = 460800 inches square.

If the 3 workers install 5400 inches square in 1 hour,

Then then they will install 460800 inches square in

460800/5400 = 85.33 hours

Converting to the nearest whole day, it becomes

85.33/24 = 3.55

Approximately 4 days

44 points. find the surface area of the pyramid to the nearest whole number.
Furkat [3]

It would be 348

as A= lw+l((w /2)^2+h^2)^0.5+w((l /2)^2+h^2)^0.5

where l=12, w=12, h=6

A=347.65 ~ 348
