Answer:

$27

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent of a number, we can use the formula Px = y.

In this formula, P is the percent we are finding. x and y are the numbers we are given, x being the number we are finding a percentage of and y being the answer.

To substitute a percent into the formula, we have to first convert it into a decimal. Simply remove the % sign and move the decimal point two places to the left. We have 0.55.

Now we can plug in our values.

0.55 · 60 = y

0.55 · 60 = 33

55% of 60 is 33.

The question asks for the price of the item when 55% is taken off of the original price.

So, we have to subtract 33 from 60.

60 - 33 = 27

The sale price, then, is $27.

I hope this helps ^^

Good luck :)

$3 \frac{1}{2} -2 \frac{5}{7} = \frac{(3\cdot2)+1}{2} - \frac{(2\cdot7)+5}{7} = \frac{7}{2} - \frac{19}{7} \\\\= \frac{7\times 7}{2\times 7} - \frac{19\times 2}{7\times 2} = \frac{49}{14} - \frac{38}{14} \\\\= \frac{49-38}{14} =\boxed{\bf{\frac{11}{14}}}$

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

First you figure out which function your going to use. I notice that from the angle we have 5 which is the opposite side and 23 which is the adjacent side. This means we have to use tangent.

Then set up your equation: tan(x)=5/23. This is because the opposite side is 5 and the adjacent is 23 and it must be set up in that order.

Next get x alone by making the equation: x=tan^-1(5/23).

Then put it into the calculator and round to get 12.
