The answer is B

If you multiply each price by .15 then subtract it example below.

48.00 × .15 = 7.20

Then subtract that number to the price you will get how much the skirt cost after the discount.

48.00-7.20=40,80

A flower shop acquired 80 new customers last year. Costs in the marketing and sales areas were the following:

icang [17]

Using proportions, it is found that the Customer Acquisition Cost was of $1,215.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.

In this problem, the customer acquisition cost is the spending in sales divided by the number of customers added.

80 customers were added, considering costs of 1200 + 9000 + 87000 = $97,200, hence:

97200/80 = $1,215.

The angle of elevation from me to the top of a hill is 51 degrees. The angle of elevation from me to the top of a tree is 57 deg

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Approximately $101\; \rm ft$ (assuming that the height of the base of the hill is the same as that of the observer.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the diagram attached.

Let $\rm O$ denote the observer.
Let $\rm A$ denote the top of the tree.
Let $\rm R$ denote the base of the tree.
Let $\rm B$ denote the point where line $\rm AR$ (a vertical line) and the horizontal line going through $\rm O$ meets. $\angle \rm B\hat{A}R = 90^\circ$ .

Angles:

Angle of elevation of the base of the tree as it appears to the observer: $\angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ$ .
Angle of elevation of the top of the tree as it appears to the observer: $\angle \rm B\hat{O}A = 57^\circ$ .

Let the length of segment $\rm BR$ (vertical distance between the base of the tree and the base of the hill) be $x\; \rm ft$ .

The question is asking for the length of segment $\rm AB$ . Notice that the length of this segment is $\mathrm{AB} = (x + 20)\; \rm ft$ .

The length of segment $\rm OB$ could be represented in two ways:

In right triangle $\rm \triangle OBR$ as the side adjacent to $\angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ$ .
In right triangle $\rm \triangle OBA$ as the side adjacent to $\angle \rm B\hat{O}A = 57^\circ$ .

For example, in right triangle $\rm \triangle OBR$ , the length of the side opposite to $\angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ$ is segment $\rm BR$ . The length of that segment is $x\; \rm ft$ .

$\begin{aligned}\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}R}\right)} = \frac{\,\rm {BR}\,}{\,\rm {OB}\,} \; \genfrac{}{}{0em}{}{\leftarrow \text{opposite}}{\leftarrow \text{adjacent}}\end{aligned}$ .

Rearrange to find an expression for the length of $\rm OB$ (in $\rm ft$ ) in terms of $x$ :

$\begin{aligned}\mathrm{OB} &= \frac{\mathrm{BR}}{\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}R}\right)}} \\ &= \frac{x}{\tan\left(51^\circ\right)}\approx 0.810\, x\end{aligned}$ .

Similarly, in right triangle $\rm \triangle OBA$ :

$\begin{aligned}\mathrm{OB} &= \frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}A}\right)}} \\ &= \frac{x + 20}{\tan\left(57^\circ\right)}\approx 0.649\, (x + 20)\end{aligned}$ .

Equate the right-hand side of these two equations:

$0.810\, x \approx 0.649\, (x + 20)$ .

Solve for $x$ :

$x \approx 81\; \rm ft$ .

Hence, the height of the top of this tree relative to the base of the hill would be $(x + 20)\; {\rm ft}\approx 101\; \rm ft$ .

Gordan and Harry had 340 marble,altogether.After Gordan gave away 2/5 of his marbles and harry gave away 20 of his marbles, they

BARSIC [14]

109.8
you take 240 and subtract that from 2/5.Then you subtract 20 and that gives you 219.6.Since they have the same amount of marbles left,you have to divide 219.6 by 2 and your answer is 109.8
(I just used a calculator)

The sets of numbers 3, 4, 5 and 8, 15, 17 are Pythagorean triples. Use what you know about the Pythagorean Theorem and explain o

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

When we have 3 numbers, like:

a, b and c.

Such that:

a < b < c.

These numbers are a Pythagorean triplet if the sum of the squares of the two smaller numbers, is equal to the square of the larger number:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

This is equivalent to the Pythagorean Theorem, where the sum of the squares of the cathetus is equal to the hypotenuse squared.

Now that we know this, we can check if the given sets are Pythagorean triples.

1) 3, 4, 5

Here we must have that:

3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2

solving the left side we get:

3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25

and the right side:

5^2 = 25

Then we have the same in both sides, this means that these are Pythagorean triples.

2) 8, 15, 17

We must have that:

8^2 + 15^2 = 17^2

Solving the left side we have:

8^2 + 15^2 = 64 + 225 = 289

And in the right side we have:

17^2 = 17*17 = 289

So again, we have the same result in both sides, which means that these numbers are Pythagorean triples
