First you convert 20% into a decimal which is 0.2 and multiply that by 42 and you get 8.4, that's the discount. Then you subtract 8.4 from 42 and get $33.60 which is your answer. Hope this helps!!
Answer:
(4.25, - 1.75)
Step-by-step explanation:
Under a reflection in the y- axis
a point (x, y ) → (- x, y ), thus
(- 4.25, - 1.75 ) → (4.25, - 1.75 ) ← original point
Answer:
5/6 books
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that Mark read 2 1/2 books last week. This week, he read a bit more with 3 1/3 books.
To find how many more books he read, we must subtract 2 1/2 from 3 1/3:
3 1/3 - 2 1/2
Let's convert these into improper fractions first:
3 1/3 = (3 * 3 + 1) / 3 = 10/3
2 1/2 = (2 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 5/2
Now, we have:
10/3 - 5/2
In order to subtract these, we must find a common denominator. For 2 and 3, the LCM is 6, so we can use that as our common denominator:
10/3 * 2/2 = 20/6
5/2 * 3/3 = 15/6
Finally, we have:
20/6 - 15/6 = (20 - 15) / 6 = 5/6 books
