Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
What you are asking is to fill in the blank in the following sentence.
_______ % off this imported futon.
Solution
500 x/100 = 425 Divide the left by 100
5x = 425 Divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = 425/5 Simplify
x = 85
That is not the answer. That is the % paid.
The reduction is 100% - 85% = 15%
So your blank would contain 15%
Check
15% of 500 = 15/100 * 500 = 75 which is what they the store is offering you off.
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that a^2+b^2=c^2 from the Pythagorean theorem where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
4^2+3^2 = c^2
16+9 = c^2
25 = c^2
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt(25) = sqrt(c^2)
5 =c
It would be 80 because 2 times 120 is 240. 240 divided by 3 is 80
