Dominos.com allows you to build your own pizza online, but it only reveals the price at the end of the process. Watch
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

Domino's waits to reveal the price until the end because, psychologically, you're predisposed to put & LEAVE more toppings on your pizza. If you see how each topping affects the price of the pizza each time you add one, you may limit the amount you choose. If you wait until the end to see it, by that point you think "Well I <em>need</em> these toppings on there to make it delicious." From a business standpoint, it's more financially beneficial to use the "hide the price until the end" system. However, from a consumer standpoint, most prefer seeing a live breakdown of how each topping affects the price so we can limit what we pay to a reasonable amount.

I hope this helps!

An oak tree cast a shadow of 14 feet. A 30 foot flagpole casts a shadow of 60 how tall the Oak tree?
Alina [70]

Answer:

7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Oak tree = x

14 : x  as  60 : 30

Simplify the right ratio

14 : x  as 2:1

Get the same first number in both ratios by multiplying 2:1 by 7

14 : x  as 2(7) + 1(7)

14 : x as 14 : 7

Since the first number in each ratio is the same, we know that that x and 7 are equal

x = 7

Hope this helps, feel free to let me know if you would like a further explanation :)

Which College entrance exam has the least amount of math problems to work? ​
taurus [48]

Answer:

SAT

Step-by-step explanation:

The two main college entrance exams are the SAT and ACT which are used for almost all colleges in the United States. Between these two the SAT has a lesser focus on math in general. Instead, the SAT tends to focus more on word problems and the process taken to solve them. This does not mean that it has no math at all, there is still a math section on the SAT's but it is not as extensive as in the ACT's.
