Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the regular price of the carpet.

Then:

sale price = regular price less discount

$374 = c - $66

Adding $66 to both sides isolates (solves for) c:

$374 + $66 = c = $440. This is the regular price.

$66

---------- = 0.15 This is the fraction of the regular price by

$440 which the regular price is reduced.

Then the percentage of this discount was 0.15(100%) = 15%

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The answer is option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rules of indices

That's

<h3> $( { {a}^{x} })^{y} = {a}^{x \times y}$ </h3>

Simplify the expression

We have

<h3> $( { {x}^{ - \frac{4}{7} } })^{7} = {x}^{ - \frac{4}{7} \times 7 } \\ = {x}^{ - 4}$ </h3>

Again using the rules of indices

That's

The final answer is

Rewrite the equation by completing the square.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Once you complete the square, the simplified version of this equation is

(2x - 1)^2= 0

If you want to solve for x, subtract 1 and divide by 2.

x = 0.5

Marcos had 15 coins in nickels and quarters. He had 3 more quarters than nickels. He wrote a system of equations to represent th

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

There are 6 coins in nickels and 9 coins in quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, to find the solution.

According to question:

The number of nickels = $x$ .

The number of quarters = $y.$

So, the total number of coins:

$x+y=15.$

He had 3 more quarters than nickels.

Thus,

$y=x+3$ .....(1)

Now, to get the solution:

$x+y=15$

Substituting the equation (1):

$x+(x+3)=15$

$x+x+3=15$

$2x+3=15$

<em>Subtracting both sides by 3 we get:</em>

<em>Dividing both sides by 2 we get:</em>

$x=6.$

<em>The number of nickels = 6.</em>

Now, substituting the value of $x$ in equation (1):

$y=x+3\\\\y=6+3\\\\y=9.$

<em>The number of quarters = 9.</em>

Thus, there are 6 coins in nickels and 9 coins in quarters.
