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>

anygoal [31]

Answer:

The slope of the line is -3/1

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rise over run method I calculated that the slope is -3/1 because every block that the line goes over it goes 3 down.

Answer:

  60

Step-by-step explanation:

In the function, the growth factor is "a", the base of the exponent. When the exponent is increased by 1, the value is multiplied by "a".

  f(7) = a·f(6) = 4·15

  f(7) = 60

_____

As you know, the exponent signifies repeated multiplication. So, an increase of 1 in the exponent means the base is part of the product one more time:

  a^6 = a·a·a·a·a·a

  a^7 = a·a·a·a·a·a·a = a·(a^6)

The two shapes have the same area. Work out the perimeter of the rectangle.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
You need to do this in several steps.

1) Using the given length and width of the rectangle, find its area.
2) Then using the base and height of the triangle, find its area.
3) Since the areas are equal, set the expressions equal to each other, and solve for x.
4) Using the value of x you found, find the length and width of the rectangle and find its perimeter.

1) The area of the rectangle is A = LW
Area of Rectangle = (x + 2)x = x^2 + 2x

2) The area of the triangle is A = (1/2)bh
Area of Triangle = (1/2)(24)x = 12x

3) Set the areas equal and solve for x

x^2 + 2x = 12x

x^2 - 10x = 0

x(x - 10) = 0

x = 0 or x = 10

Since a width cannot be 0, we discard x = 0, and keep x = 10.

4) The length is x + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12
The width is x = 10

The perimeter is 2(L + W) = 2(10 + 2) = 2(22) = 44

The perimeter is 44 cm.

Help me with this question please ​
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

D. 2019

Step-by-step explanation:

So I started by rewriting the function f(x)

1000 = 10^3 so

    f(x)=10^3 times 1.03^x

1.03 = 103/100 so

     f(x)= 10^3 times (103/100)^x

to raise a fraction to a power you just raise the numerator and denominator to that power so

      f(x)= 10^3 times 103^x/100^x

change it to exponential form with a base of 10

     f(x)=10^3 times 103^x/10^2x

then you can reduce it with the 10^3

     f(x)=103^x/10^2x-3

so now that thats in more of a standard form you can find the intersection of the two functions

which is at (9.012,1305.244)

x is the number of years after 2010, so they will be equal ~9 years after 2010, which is 2019.
