Answer:

33.34%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The actual price of the shirt = $36

Price on sale = $24

We need to find the percent of the decrease. The formula for the percentage is given by :

\%=\dfrac{|\text{actual value-estimated value}|}{\text{actual value}}\times 100

Putting all the values,

\%=\dfrac{24-36}{36}\times 100\\\\=33.34\%

So, the percentage decrease in the price of the shirt is 33.34%.

A rental car company is running two specials. Customers can pay $40 to rent a compact car for the first day plus $6 for each add
Flura [38]

Answer: she wants to rent the car for 11 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of additional days that Pamela wants to rent the car for.

Customers can pay $40 to rent a compact car for the first day plus $6 for each additional day. This means that the total cost of using this special for x days would be

40 + 6(x - 1) = 40 + 6x - 6

= 34 + 6x

Also, they can rent the same car for $30 the first day and $7 for every additional day beyond that. This means that the total cost of using this special for x days would be

30 + 7(x - 1) = 30 + 7x - 7

= 23 + 7x

Since she found out that the two specials are equivalent for x days, then

34 + 6x = 23 + 7x

7x - 6x = 34 - 23

x = 11

Will give brainliest! 20 Points!<br> Hi! Some help with these problems would be great thank you!
erica [24]

Answer:

<u>Question 1:</u>

Draw a line that crosses the largest number of dots. Then use the line to check the best prediction of the number of baseballs that will be used if 275 pitches are thrown.

<u>Question 2:</u>

A). y = 1.2x - 6

<u>Question 3:</u>

J). y = \frac{9}{4}x - 81

<u>Question 4:</u>

F). f(n) = -3n + 24 *<em>Although it doesn't work when f(n) = 6 and n = 6*</em>

<u />

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Question 2:</u>

The line passes throught point (5, 0) and is parallel to the line whose equation is y = 1.2x + 3.8

For parallel lines, their values of slope is the same.

So our line, that passes through point (5, 0), also has a slope of 1.2

Taking another point (x, y) on our line;

Slope = change in y ÷ change in x

1.2 = \frac{y - 0}{x - 5}

y = 1.2x - 1.2(5)

y = 1.2x - 6

<u>Question 3:</u>

The line passes x-axis at point (36, 0)

The line is perpendicular to another line whose equation is y = -\frac{4}{9}x + 5

For perpendicular lines, the product of their slopes = -1

Let's say the slope of our unknown line is a ;

Given: The slope of our second line is -4/9

So,

a × -4/9 = -1

a = -1 × -9/4 = 9/4

Taking another point (x, y) on our unknown line;

Slope = change in y ÷ change in x

9/4 = \frac{y - 0}{x - 36}

Cross-multiplying that you get;

y = \frac{9}{4}x - 81

<u>Question 4:</u>

The function that model that situation is f(n) = -3n + 24 though it doesn't work when f(n) = 6 and n = 6
