Answer: 72%

Step-by-step explanation:

Set Jamal's original ring price = x

x - x(0.2) = 2640\\x(1-0.2)=2640\\x(0.8)=2640\\x=\frac{2640}{0.8}=3300

Jamal's original ring price = $3300

Set Naomi's discount = y

3300-3300(y)=924\\=3300(1-y)=924\\1-y=\frac{924}{3300} \\-y=\frac{924}{3300} -1\\y=1-\frac{924}{3300}=1-0.28=0.72

Naomi's discount is 0.72 = 72%

11111nata11111 [884]
<span>The answer is 2 three-point shots. Since the Lakers made 37 two-point shots, one multiplies 37 by 2 (37 x 2), which equals 74. Then 74 is subtracted from the total 80 to see how many points are left (80 - 74), which equals 6. To determine the number of three-point shots, 6 is divided by 3 (6/3), which equals 2.</span>

The phony bologna meat company offers two platters. platter a comes with 4 hamburgers, 3 hot dogs, and 2 pig's feet, and costs $
Brrunno [24]
The solution for this problem is:
If there is 60 platters of B at a cost of $720: 
(220 - 60 x 3) / 4 = 10 platters of A to make up for the deficit in hamburgers 
(270 - 60 x 4) / 3 = 10 platters of A to make up for the deficit in hot dogs 
(250 - 60 x 5) / 2 = 0 platters of A since there is no deficit in pigs feet 

So 10 platters A are required at a cost of $150. $720 + $150 = for a total minimum cost of $870.

The given point is given as (r1 , r2) where:
r1 is output from first roll

Since we want both outputs to be 6, therefore, the answer would be: (6,6)
