48x0.2= $9.6
$48-9.6=$38.40 Her friend is incorrect.
40/48 =0.83 or about 83% So, in this case she only got 17% off. :)

Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute 1/2 as h you get 16*(1/2) you get 4 and -8*1/2 you get -4 so 4+ -4 = 0
Answer: 12 friends.
Step-by-step explanation:
the data we have is:
Mei Su had 80 coins.
She gave the coins to her friends, in such a way that every friend got a different number of coins, then we have that:
The maximum number of friends that could have coins is when:
friend 1 got 1 coin
friend 2 got 2 coins
friend 3 got 3 coins
friend N got N coins
in such a way that:
(1 + 2 + 3 + ... + N) ≥ 79
I use 79 because "she gave most of the coins", not all.
We want to find the maximum possible N.
Then let's calculate:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
15 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55
now we are close, lets add by one number:
55 + 11 = 66
66 + 12 = 78
now, we can not add more because we will have a number larger than 80.
Then we have N = 12
This means that the maximum number of friends is 12.
Answer: 233 people per thousand
Step-by-step explanation:
Using extrapolation method,
if 150/k in 1950,
200/k in 1990,
275/k in 2020,
2003 lies in between 1990 and 2020. So, you extrapolate the values of 200/k and 275/k for the years respectively.
Therefore,
(2003 - 1990)/(2020 - 2003) = (x - 200)/(275 - x)
Where x is the number of retirees per thousand for 2003
Making x the subject of relation in the above equation.
Cross multiply the equation above;
(2003 - 1990)(275-x) = (2020 - 2003)(x - 200)
13(275 - x) = 17(x-200)
3575 - 13x = 17x - 3400
Collect the like terms
3575+3400 = 17x + 13x
30x = 6975
x = 6975/30
x = 232.5
x = 233 people per thousand to the nearest integer
