Percent discount was:
100%- 80%= 20%

The final answer is A. 20%.

Find the constant of variation for the relation and use it to write an equation for the statement. Then solve the equation

Olenka [21]

Answer:

y = $\frac{49}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies directly as x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 7 when x = 3

k = $\frac{y}{x}$ = $\frac{7}{3}$ , thus

y = $\frac{7}{3}$ x ← equation of variation

When x = 7, then

y = $\frac{7}{3}$ × 7 = $\frac{49}{3}$

Jackson’s age was 2/fifth of the age he will be 20 years from now seven years ago. How old is Jackson now?

Margaret [11]

Let's say Jackson's age now is x.

In 20 years, (so 20+x), Jackson seven years ago will be 2/5ths of that age.

So 2/5(20+x)=x-7

Then you solve the equation
8+2/5x=x-7
15=3/5x
x=25
Jackson is 25 years old.

Let's check our answer! In 20 years, Jackson will be 45. 7 years ago, he was 18. 2/5 of 45 is 18. Our answer is correct!

Carlos and Mike work part time as salespeople for an electronics store. Carlos earns $7.25 per hour plus a $10 bonus. Mike earns

galina1969 [7]

Carlos and Mike earn same amount for 10 hours of part time work

Solution:

Let "x" be the number of hours worked by Carlos and mike

Given that,

Carlos earns $7.25 per hour plus a $10 bonus

Thus, total amount earned by Carlos for "x" hours is given by:

total earned = 7.25(number of hours) + $ 10

total earned = 7.25x + 10 ----- eqn 1

Mike earns $7.75 per hour plus a $5 bonus

Thus, total amount earned by Mike for "x" hours is given by:

total earned = 7.75(number of hours) + $ 5

total earned = 7.75x + 5 ------- eqn 2

To find number of hours, they earn same amount, equate eqn 1 and eqn 2

7.25x + 10 = 7.75x + 5

7.75x - 7.25x = 10 - 5

0.5x = 5

x = 10

Thus for 10 hours, they earn the same amount

The side length of a square ice cube is claimed to be 1.0 inches, correct to within 0.001 inch. Use linear approximation to esti

Olenka [21]

Answer:

0.012

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear approximation says that,

$f(x) \approx f(x_o)+f'(x_o)(x-x_o)$

For a cube the surface area is $6x^2$ .

So the side is 1.0 inch in, the surface area is $=6\times1^2 = 6$ square inches.

In Linear approximation means you ignore the term $x_o^2$ , if $x_o$ is a small number, because then $x_o^2$ will be a very smalle number and that does not contribute much to the error.

So the surface area is approximately,

$6x^2=6x_o^2+12x_o(x-x_o)$

So here, $x=1.001, x_o=0.001$

The error in the area is approximately,

$12 \times 0.001=0.012$

So the error is 0.012.
