If the original price is x, then x-0.10x=0.9x (which is a 10 percent off discount - 10 percent = 0.10 if you move the decimal spot 2 places over), then 10% of 0.9x is not 0.10x due to that 0.1/0.9=1/9, not 1/10. 1/10 of 0.9 is 0.09, so
0.9-0.09=0.81 of the original price
If the 10% sales tax was added first, it wouldn't matter since you're still getting 10% twice either way
Answer:
The correct answer is B) 18%
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that the vaccine is already and is 80% effective. This means that if the entire population was administered with the vaccine, only 8/10 would gain immunity leaving 2/10 or 0.2 exposed.
If the new vaccine, therefore, is supposed to be 90% effective, it is only pragmatic to administer it against those who do not have immunity which is 0.2 of the existing population.
So to get the percentage that will develop immunity, we have:
0.2 x 0.9 = 0.18 or 18%
Cheers!
X should be 1/2
The way I solved this was by viewing 1/8. I grabbed 8 from the equation and did 8^(1/3) which got me 2. In addition both 1/8 and 1/2^3 in decimal form are both 0.125
