Answer:
The simpler way is:
SP = 0.85*RP
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose that we have a given amount A. and now we take a given percentage, X%, off.
The new amount will be:
New amount = A - (X%/100%)*A = A*(1 - X%/100%)
This is the general formula.
In this case, we know that the store has advertised 15% off, then we have X% = 15%
Then if:
SP = sales price
RP = regular price
We will have the equation:
SP = RP - (15%/100%)*RP = RP - 0.15*RP
This is what Jill found, but if we use the general equation above, we will find that:
SP = RP*(1 - 15%/100%) = RP*(1 - 0.15) = RP*0.85
So we just need to multiply the regular price by 0.85 to get the sales price.
Answer:
4x^2 + 4x -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Use FOIL to solve (x+2) (x+2)
4(x^2 + 4x +4) - 6
4x^2 + 4x -2
I do not have an answer for that, but you should try looking for that on google or yahoo answers.
Answer:
222.7 cm³ of paper to wrap this.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rectangular prism is SA=2(wl+hl+hw)
Where:
w=5 l=5 h=4
SA= 2((5*5)+(4*5)+(4*5))
SA=2(25+20+20)
SA=2(65)=130cm³
The square base pyramid is 
≈92.69578 cm³
Add the two together 130+92.70 =222.7 cm³
It will take the seal 6.5 hours to swim 52 miles.
