Answer:

original cost of meal  = $15.80

Step-by-step explanation:

120% = $18.96 (divide both sides by 120)

1% = $0.158  (multiply both sides by 100)

100% = $15.80

hope this helps...

Solve x^2 - 3x - 10 = 0
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

5 and -2

Step-by-step explanation:

{x}^{2}  - 3x - 10 = 0

{x}^{2}  - 5x + 2x - 10 = 0

x(x - 5) + 2(x - 5) = 0

(x - 5)(x + 2) = 0

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

or

x + 2 = 0

x =  - 2

If a number is divisible by 3 and 5 then it is divisible by 15
koban [17]

Answer:

Yes!

Step-by-step explanation:

Besides 15 and one, 3 and 5 are the greatest common factors of 15. Those numbers are therefore divisible by any product of 15.

Example:

45

45/3 = 15

45/5 = 9

45/15 = 3
