Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent markdown, divide the new sale price by the initial price:

30/50 = 3/5 = 0.6

30 is 60% of 50. That means the value of the initial price dropped by 40% to become the sale price. This means that the percent markdown is 40%.

Hope this helps :)

Jamie and Carrie are trying to determine what size ladder they are going to need to paint the house the. The house is 25ft tall

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Pythagorean Theorem we know that the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of its squared sides.

h^2=x^2+y^2

Here y=25 and x=8 so

h^2=25^2+8^2

h^2=625+64

h^2=689

h=26.25 ft

They obviously rounded to nearest whole foot.

So Carrie is correct in saying the ladder should be 26 feet.
