During a sale, a dress is marked down from a selling price of $80 to a sale price of $60. What is the percent markdown

Solve for x 4r – 9 – 6x = 21

ehidna [41]

Answer:

X= 30-4r/-6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Move the 9 to the other side. (21+9=30)

2. subtract the 4r and move it to the other side (-6x=21-4r)

3. divide both sides by -6

He needs to purchase some work clothes and notices that J.C. Penney is having a 25% off of your total purchase sale. He decides

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

First, lets determine the regular price of his purchase :

16.99 (3) + 34.99 (3) + 52.99 (2) + 5.99 (5) = 50.97 + 104.97 + 105.98 + 29.95 = 291.87

Therefore, the regular price of his purchase is $291.87 before sales tax.

If he receives 25% off of his total purchase, then the price is now :

291.87 * .75 = $218.90

We multiply by 75% because we are only paying 75% of the total purchase price since we received a 25% discount.

The total savings is

291.87 - 218.90 = $72.97

If sales tax is 10%, the total purchase price after sales tax is :

218.90 * 1.10 = $240.79

The sales tax is $21.89 since

240.79 -218.90 = 21.89

If he pays with 3 $100 bills, we should receive :

300 - 240.79 = $59.21

in change.

Find the equation of a line perpendicular to y - 12 = 2x – 8 that passes through the point (2, 3). (answer in slope-intercept fo

Alla [95]

Answer:

$\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{2}x+4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a Line

We can find the equation of a line by using two sets of data. It can be a pair of ordered pairs, or the slope and a point, or the slope and the y-intercept, or many other combinations of appropriate data.

We are given a line

$y - 12 = 2x -8$

And are required to find a line perpendicular to that line. Let's find the slope of the given line. Solving for y

$y = 2x +4$

The coefficient of the x is the slope

$m=2$

The slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of m, thus

$\displaystyle m'=-\frac{1}{2}$

We know the second line passes through (2,3). That is enough information to find the second equation:

$y-y_o=m'(x-x_o)$

$\displaystyle y-3=-\frac{1}{2}(x-2)$

Operating

$\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{2}(x-2)+3$

Simplifying

$\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{2}x+4$

That is the equation in slope-intercept form. Intercept: y=4

An apartment complex rents an average of 2.3 new units per week. If the number of apartment rented each week Poisson distributed

masya89 [10]

Answer:

$P(X\leq 1) = 0.331$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Poisson Distribution;

Average rent in a week = 2.3

Required

Determine the probability of renting no more than 1 apartment

A Poisson distribution is given as;

$P(X = x) = \frac{y^xe^{-y}}{x!}$

Where y represents λ (average)

y = 2.3

Probability of renting no more than 1 apartment = Probability of renting no apartment + Probability of renting 1 apartment

Using probability notations;

$P(X\leq 1) = P(X=0) + P(X =1)$

Solving for P(X = 0) [substitute 0 for x and 2.3 for y]

$P(X = 0) = \frac{2.3^0 * e^{-2.3}}{0!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{1 * e^{-2.3}}{1}$

$P(X = 0) = e^{-2.3}$

$P(X = 0) = 0.10025884372$

Solving for P(X = 1) [substitute 1 for x and 2.3 for y]

$P(X = 1) = \frac{2.3^1 * e^{-2.3}}{1!}$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{2.3 * e^{-2.3}}{1}$

$P(X = 1) =2.3 * e^{-2.3}$

$P(X = 1) = 2.3 * 0.10025884372$

$P(X = 1) = 0.23059534055$

$P(X\leq 1) = P(X=0) + P(X =1)$

$P(X\leq 1) = 0.10025884372 + 0.23059534055$

$P(X\leq 1) = 0.33085418427$

$P(X\leq 1) = 0.331$

Hence, the required probability is 0.331

If cos x=1/2 and 90°

Talja [164]

When I factor[ 2cos (square) - 5cos -3], I get (2cos + 1)(cos - 3). 2cos + 1 = 0, 2cos = -1, cos = -0.5,. Using inv cos on calculator, I get 120 degree related angle.
