A $40 shirt now selling for $28 is discounted by what percent?

Mathematics

Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of this as converting a fraction. 28/40 to x/100. You do this because in the situation, 40 is 100 percent of the price. So 28 is <em>x</em> percent of 100.

You multiply 40 by 2.5 to get to 100, so multiply 28 by the same number to get x. 28 * 2.5 = 70.

So 28 is 70 percent of 40. But the question is asking by what percentage it is <em>discounted. </em>If it's now selling for 70%, it has been discounted 30%. So the answer is 30%

Answer:   A^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}\frac{3}{2}&-\frac{1}{2}\\-2&1\end{array}\right]

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

                  \left[\begin{array}{cc}2&1\\4&3\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]

\dfrac{1}{2}Row\ 1\rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&\frac{1}{2}\\4&3\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}\frac{1}{2}&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]

Row\ 2 -4 \ Row\ 1\rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&\frac{1}{2}\\0&1\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}\frac{1}{2}&0\\-2&1\end{array}\right]

Row\ 1-\dfrac{1}{2}\ Row\ 2 \rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}\frac{3}{2}&-\frac{1}{2}\\-2&1\end{array}\right]

= 1/4 or 0.25 

Therefore, the probability a person will respond with a no is 0.25.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

not sure what class this is for but I\ll try. Each traveller has a 21 km drive so their fare should be equal.

method 1) each traveller can pay for 21 km worth when they get out

method 2) Curly can pay the full fare and Andy and Bob can pay him back later (they're brothers so this should be easy to manage)
