A jar of natural peanut butter normally cost four dollars today it's on sale for $3.60 what is the percentage of the discount
1 answer:
$4 is the original price of the jar consisting of peanut butter so therefor it = 100%. It's for sale at $3.60, so we divide $4 by 100% so we get the percentage for each cent and then we times it by 3.60 to get the percentage for $3.60 which is 90%. Now we subtract 90% from 100% to get the discounted percentage for 40cents :)

Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
-A and B are legs of the triangle
-C is the hypotenuse
#1.
6^2 + 8^2 = c^2
36 + 64 = c^2
100 = c^2
c = 10
#2.
5^2 + 12^2 = c^2
25 + 144 = c^2
169 = c^2
c = 13
#4.
10^2 + 4^2 = c^2
100 + 16 = c^2
116 = c^2
c =
#5.
15^2 + 9^2 = c^2
225 + 81 = c^2
306 = c^2
c =
#6.
120^2 + b^2 = 150^2
14400 + b^2 = 22500
b^2 = 8100
b = 90
#7.
144^2 + b^2 = 194^2
20736 + b^2 = 37636
b^2 = 16900
b = 130
