Answer:

Because the price did not stay the same when they discounted it by 10% percent before.

Step-by-step explanation:

10% percent of 450 is 45 so Subtracting that from 450 would give you,405.

They deducted another 10% percent a week later 10 percent of 405 would be 40.5 so you would subtract that from 405 which would make it 364.5

If you took 20% off originally then 20% of 450 is 90 so subtracting that would make 450 into 360 which is different from 364.5

The radioactive isotope radium has a half-life of 1,600 years. The mass of a 100-gram sample of radium will be______ grams after
Olenka [21]
To solve this we are going to use the half life equation N(t)=N_{0} e^{( \frac{-0.693t}{t _{1/2} }) }
Where:
N_{0} is the initial sample
t is the time in years
t_{1/2} is the half life of the substance
N(t) is the remainder quantity after t years 

From the problem we know that:
N_{0} =100
t=200
t_{1/2} =1600

Lets replace those values in our equation to find N(t):
N(200) =100e^{( \frac{(-0.693)(200)}{1600}) }
N(200)=100e^{( \frac{-138.6}{1600} )}
N(200)=100e^{-0.086625}
N(200)=91.7

We can conclude that after 1600 years of radioactive decay, the mass of the 100-gram sample will be 91.7 grams.

The question that says " a school has 1200 pupils "
Sonja [21]
How many girls like sports?  well, what's 2/5 of 1200? well, is just their product, 2/5 * 1200.

how many boys like sports?  well, what's 3/5 of 1200? 3/5 * 1200.

\bf \cfrac{2}{5}\cdot 1200\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 1200}{5}\implies \cfrac{2400}{5}\implies \stackrel{girls}{480}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{3}{5}\cdot 1200\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 1200}{5}\implies \cfrac{3600}{5}\implies \stackrel{boys}{720}

Answer:

The Parenthesis tells you what operation to do first.

Step-by-step explanation:

Why? Because you have to get rid of the Parenthesis before getting rid of anything else in the problem.

The sum of three consecutive numbers is 267.what is the largest number
iris [78.8K]
Rather than trial and error, you can do this with an equation.

x + x+1 + x+2 = 267 =>
3x+3 = 267
x = 264/3 = 88

So the numbers are 88+89+90. 90 is the largest number.
