Answer:
3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
You are trying to find the side between the right angle and the degree (This is known as the adjacent)
You are given degree 42
You also given the longest side of 19 (This is known as the hypothenuse)
Cosine: adjacent/hypothenuse
Cos42 = x/19
0.7431448255 = x/19
x = 19 * 0.7431448255
x = 14.11975168, round to tenth
Solution: x = 14.1
I'm kinda confused by this question, but, If $60 is the original price, and you want to know what 15% of the original price ($60) is.. It would be $9, the "amount discount".
If this isn't the answer you wanted please tell me and explain the question a bit more to me if you can and I will try my best to help.
Thank you.
