Answer:

16 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 part of the ratio represents 24 inches.

Dividing by 3 gives the value of one part of the ratio.

24 in ÷ 3 = 8 in ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

2 parts = 2 × 8 in = 16 in ← hypotenuse of smaller triangle

A café or for senior citizens a 15% discount off it's regular price of $8.95 for the dinner buffet. What percent of the regular
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Price for Senior Citizen = $7.61

Percent of the regular price = 85% off original

Step-by-step explanation:

Regular Price is $8.95

Seniors get 15% off of that. So, first we need to find 15% of 8.95 and then subtract it from 8.95.

To get percentage of a number, we first convert the percentage to decimal (by dividing by 100) and then multiply it with the number.

15% = 15/100 = 0.15

Fifteen Percent of 8.95 is:

0.15 * 8.95 = $1.3425

Senior Citizen Price = 8.95 - 1.3425 = $7.6075

Rounded to nearest cent = $7.61

How much is this as a percentage of original?

Simple, it is 15% off of the regular price, so this price is 100 - 15 = 85% of original price
