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>

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

x = 128 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

all triangles contain 180 degrees

the upper left corner angle is 52 degrees because 180 -90 - 38 = 52.

angle x is supplementary to 52 degrees so x = 180 -52 = 128 degrees

In a certain clothing store, 3 shirts and 5 ties cost $60, and 2 shirts and 3 ties cost $39. What is the cost of each shirt?
Dovator [93]
Let shirts be x and ties be y
3x+5y=$60    Equation 1 (Equation 1 will be denoted by *)
2x+3y=$39    Equation 2 (Equation 2 will be denoted by !)
*x2  6x + 10y = $120
!x3  6x + 9y = $117
*-!  y = 120-117 =3

Ties are $3 each
Substitute this value back into one of the original 2 equations:
3x+5y=$60
3x+(5x3) = 60
3x+15=60
3x=45
x=15

Shirts are $15

A company is building a new park in the shape of a circle with a 25 ft diameter. Portions of the new park will be covered with g
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: The area of the regions covered by grass is approximately 313.375 sq ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A company is building a new park in the shape of a circle with a 25 ft diameter.

Then radius = \dfrac{25}{2}=12.5\ ft

Required area = Area of circle - Area of rectangle + Area of triangle

Formula: Area of circle = \pi r^2

Area of rectangle = length x width

Area of triangle = 0.5 x base x height

Area of circle = (3.14)(12.5)^2=490.625\ \text{ft}^2

Area of rectangle = 20 ft x 10ft = 200 ft²

Area of triangle = 0.5 x 7 x 6.5 = 22.75 ft²

Required area = 490.625 -200+22.75 = 313.375 ft²

Hence, The area of the regions covered by grass is approximately 313.375 sq ft.
