Answer:

No Jeremy can not find the cost of the sneakers by adding the percents, you have to the math one sale discount at a time.

The answer is $45.90.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to multiply $60 by 15%, getting $9. Subtract 9 from 60 and get the first discount price: $51. Then you will multiply 51 by `10% and get 5.1, subtract 5.1 from 51 and get your final sale price $45.90. If you added the percents together you would get an incorrect value of $45. Close but not the correct answer.

School A has 480 students and 16 classrooms. School B has 192 students and 12 classrooms.
boyakko [2]

Answer:96

Step-by-step explanation:

A; 480/16 = 30 students per classroom

B: 192/12 =16 students per classroom

we need x such that \frac{480-x}{16} = \frac{192+x}{12}

which means

(480-x )* 12 should be equal to (192+x) * 16

5,760 - 12x = 3,072+16x

5,760 - 3,072 = 12x + 16x

2,688 = 28x

x = 96

Kareem purchased several packs of gum to place in gift baskets for $1.26 each. He spent a total of $8.82. How many packs of gum
777dan777 [17]

Answer: 7 packs of gum.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total amount of the purchase is $8.82 and the individual price is $1.26, to find out how many packs Kareem purchased, we need to divide the total amount spent ($8.82) by the amount of each pack ($1.26), so:

8.82 ÷ 1.26 = 7

So, Kareem bought 7 packs of gum.

Write and equation for (-1,2) and (0,0)
Natali5045456 [20]
Since the slope is -2 because
x1: -1 x2: 0
y1: 2  y2: 0
y2-y1/x2-x1 = slope (0-2/0+1= -2/1 = -2)

You would havr to change it into point slope form so it would look like this
Y-2 = -2(x+1)
 y-2 = -2x -2
   +2          +2
y = -2x + 0
Hope this helps:)
