One can take the price of the item before the discount is applied and subtract that from  the percentage off and get the cost of the item. 

I find this is the most effective way. 

another method could be if one turned the percentage into a decimal it could be subtracted from the cost of the item.

Answer:

1. Find the value of the discount amount, and subtract from the original.

2. Find the value of the item after discount by using 100%-30%.

I prefer the second, as it is faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the value of the discount amount, and subtract from the original.

Say y is the amount you pay after the discount, and x is the original price, the calculation will look like this:

The value of the discount is 30% of x, which is equal to 0.3x.

subtract that from the original value to find y:

<em>y = x - 0.3x</em>

2. Find the value of the item after discount by using 100%-30%.

The amount left over after subtraction thirty % is 70%

Thus,

<em>y = 0.7 x</em>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows that the one triangle can be divided into two equal right triangles.  Because of this, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem.  a and b are the two sides of the angles, and c is the hypotenuse.

The given lengths are 5 as the hypotenuse and 3 as one length.  (You have 3 as a given length because the two triangles have a length of 6  on one side.  6/2 = 3)

a² + b² = c²

a² = c² - b²

a² = 5² - 3²

a² = 25² - 9²

a² = 16

a = 4

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

(A) 0.006593 or 0.6593%

(B) 0.01538 or 1.538%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of possibilities to pick 3 parts out of 15 possible parts is given by the following combination:

n=\frac{15!}{(15-3)!3!}=\frac{15*14*13}{3*2*1}\\n=455\ ways\\

(A) There are only three possibilities for which the inspector finds exactly one nonconforming part (NCC, CNC, CCN). Therefore, the probability is:

P(N=1) = \frac{3}{455}=0.006593 =0.6593\%

(B) There are three possibilities  for which the inspector finds exactly one nonconforming part, three possibilities for two nonconforming parts (NNC, CNN, NCN), and one possibility for all nonconforming parts (NNN). The probability that the inspector finds at least one nonconforming part is:

P(N>0) =P(N=1)+P(N=2)+P(N=3) \\P(N>0) = \frac{3}{455}+ \frac{3}{455}+ \frac{1}{455}\\P(N>0) =0.01538 =1.538\%
