Answer:

44.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of discount = (difference in prices / original price) x 100

Difference in price = $1299 - $725 = $574

Original price = $1299

($574 / $1299) x 100 = 44.187837%

the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero

the hundredth figure is 8, which is greater than 5. 1 would be added to the tenth figure.

So it becomes 44.2%

Mariana wears her winter coat when the temperature is colder than -4^{\circ}\text{C}−4 ∘ Cminus, 4, degrees, start text, C, end
Savatey [412]

Answer:

T < - 4°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Mariana wears her coat only when temperature is colder than - 4°C

Recall that lower temperature values indicate higher degree of coldness ;

Hence, Mariana will only wear her coat when temperature values are lesser than - 4°C ; this means that the temperature at that period is colder than - 4°C.

Hence, the inequality expression which is only true for temperatures when Mariana wears her coat can be written as :

Temperature = T

T < - 4°C

The bisector of the angle at A (call it AQ) divides the segment BC into segments BQ:QC having the ratio AB:AC. Use this fact to find x.

.. 9:15 = (2x -1):3x
.. 15(2x -1) = 9*3x . . . . . the product of the means equals the product of extremes
.. 30x -15 = 27x
.. 3x = 15
.. x = 5

___
According to the value of x, the bisector AQ divides the triangle into two isosceles triangles: ABQ, ACQ.
