Answer:

reduced by 20% so that means it is going to be 20% cheaper. You need to take off 20% of $60

20% is 0.2

of in math ALWAYS means multiply

0.2 X 60 = 12

You get 12 off

60 - 12 = 48

the new price is $48.00

Here is another way. You get 20 % off and that leaves 80% that you have to pay.

80% of 60

= 0.8 x 60

= 48

You pay $48.00

The equation for a parabola has the form y = ax2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants and a ≠ 0. find an equation for the p

sattari [20]

To solve the problem, substitute the given points for x in the given equation to get

$-10=(-1)^2a+(-1)b+c\Rightarrow-10=a-b+c \\ -6=(1)^2a+(1)b+c\Rightarrow-6=a+b+c \\ -13=(2)^2a+(2)b+c\Rightarrow-13=4a+2b+c$

Solving the three equations simultaneously, we have:

a = -3, b = 2 and c = -5

Therefore, the required equation is

$y=-3x^2+2x-5$

out of a swarm of bees one fifth part settled on a kadamba blossom; one third on a silihindra flower; three times the difference

Lisa [10]

setting things up:
let x be the # of bees in the swarm, then 
$\frac{x}{5}+\frac{x}{3}+3(\frac{x}{3}-\frac{x}{5})+1=x$

multiply across by 15
 $3x+5x+3(5x-3x)+15=15x$
$8x+3(2x)+15=15x$
$8x+6x+15=15x$
$14x+15=15x$
$15=x\leftrightarrow x=15$
