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

Mathematics
1 answer:
motikmotik3 years ago
3 0

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%

Lunna [17]
(-1,-10)(3,2)
slope = (2 - (-10) / (3 - (-1) = (2 + 10) / (3 + 1) = 12/4 = 3

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3
(3,2)...x = 3 and y = 2
now we sub and find b, the y int
2 = 3(3) + b
2 = 9 + b
2 - 9 = b
-7 = b

so ur equation is : y = 3x - 7 or f(x) = 3x - 7

The volume of a Cylinder is given by the formula v=pir2h, where are is the radius of the cylinder and H is the height. Suppose a
faust18 [17]

You just need to plug those expressions inside the formula: it doesn't matter if they're expressions involving a variable instead of plain numbers: the formula becomes


V = \pi (x+8)^2(2x+3)


If you want, you can simplify it by expanding the square and then multiply the two parenthesis:


V = \pi (x^2+16x+64)(2x+3) = \pi (2 x^3 + 35 x^2 + 176 x + 192)

Find S18 for geometric series given a5=-6 and a2= -48
Ganezh [65]

an = a1r^(n-1)

a5 = a1 r^(5-1)

-6 =a1 r^4


a2 = a1 r^(2-1)

-48 = a1 r


divide

-6 =a1 r^4

----------------    yields   1/8 = r^3      take the cube root  or each side

-48 = a1 r                     1/2 = r


an = a1r^(n-1)

an = a1 (1/2)^ (n-1)

-48 = a1 (1/2) ^1

divide by 1/2

-96 = a1


an = -96 (1/2)^ (n-1)


the sum

Sn = a1[(r^n - 1/(r - 1)]

S18 = -96 [( (1/2) ^17 -1/ (1/2 -1)]

       =-96 [ (1/2) ^ 17 -1 /-1/2]

      = 192 * [-131071/131072]

 approximately -192
