Answer:
less
Step-by-step explanation:
An increase of 20% makes the price 120% of the original price.
A discount of 20% makes the discounted price 80% of the previous price.
Original price: x
20% increase in price: 1.2 * x
20% discount over the raised price: 0.8 * 1.2 * x
Now we multiply the numbers in the last expression and compare the result with x.
0.8 * 1.2 * x = 0.96x
0.96 is less than x, so the customer pays less than the original price.
Answer:
m = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line is calculated as ;
Given : (-2,3) and (2,-1)
m = Δy/Δx
m= -1-3 /2--2
m = -4 /4 = -1
The slope is -1
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The sum you are trying to understand is this.

Remember that in general when you have a geometric series
you have that
and that equality is true as long as
.
Therefore here we have
and 
Therefore we can use the formula and

Step-by-step explanation:
A- Equilateral (all of the angles are the same)
B- isosceles (just two angles are the same)
C- scalene (non of the angles are the same)
Answer:
a. 24
b. 2
c. 0.0833 = 8.33%
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
The first "slot" of person to arrive has 4 possibilities, then the second "slot" will have 3 possibilities, as one has already arrived, then the third "slot" has 2 possibilities, and the fourth "slot" has just 1 possibility.
So, multiplying all these combinations, we have 4*3*2*1 = 24 possible ways they can arrive
b.
If the first and the last person are already "locked", we just have possibilities for the second and third person. The second will have 2 possibilities (Sergio or Tyrone), and the third will have only 1 (the person that wasn't the second between Sergio and Tyrone). So, the number of possibilities is 2*1 = 2
c.
If we have 2 cases where Dawn is first and Jim is last, from a total of 24 possible cases, the probability is 2/24 = 1/12 = 0.0833 = 8.33%
