Answer:

  A.  40.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

The selling price for a $5 profit will be ...

  $12.75 +5.00 = $17.75

From $29.95, this represents a change of ...

  (17.75 -29.95)/29.95 × 100%

  = -12.20/29.95 × 100% ≈ -40.7346%

The bookstore can offer a maximum discount of about 40.7%.

Answer: g^2+2g+1

Step-by-step explanation: Since she wants each side to be 1 inch larger, each side has a length of g+1. You need to find the area by squaring (g+1).

Write this as (g+1)(g+1). Use the FOIL method to get g^2+g+g+1. Simplify this to g^2+2g+1.

What is the minimum number of students, each of whom comes from one of the 50 states, who must be enrolled in a university to gu
erik [133]

Answer:

4951 students

Step-by-step explanation:

If there was 99 students from each state, that would make the total to be:

99 * 50 = 4950

We can use the pigeon hole principle to make this the minimum number required.

The pigeon hole principle basically tells us that if you have more "pigeons" than "holes" then there must be one hole with multiple objects in it.

So, using this idea, we see that:

we need at least 1 more to ensure this

So, min number required would be

4950 + 1 = 4951
