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 :)

Answer:
m = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
x = 4
y = 6m - 2
a = 8
b = 5
Required:
Value of m
SOLUTION:
x and y are segments of a chord divided when it intersects another chord that also has segments a and b.
According to the Intersecting chords theorem,
Thus:
Solve for m
The value of m = 2
It's a linear function. We need only two points to draw a graph.
We choose any values of x and calculate the value of y.
for x= 0 → y = 3(0) - 1 = 0 - 1 = -1 → (0, -1)
for x = 2 → y = 3(2) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5 → (2, 5)
for x = 0 → y = 3(0) - 1/3 = 0 - 1/3 = -1/3 → (0, -1/3)
for x = 2 → y = 3(2) - 1/3 = 6 - 1/3 = 5 2/3 → (2, 5 2/3)
