Shirtbarn is having a sale where everything in the store is 40% off. How much will be saved by purchasing $224 of cloths be at t

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

$89.60 will be saved by purchasing $224 of cloths be at the register

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by a rule of three.

In a rule of three problem, the first step is identifying the measures and how they are related, if their relationship is direct of inverse.

When the relationship between the measures is direct, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure is going to increase too.

When the relationship between the measures is inverse, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure will decrease.

In this problem, we have the following measures:

-The total money

-The percentage of money

As the percentage of money increases, so does the total money. It means that the relationship between the measures is direct.

The problem states that Shirtbarn is having a sale where everything in the store is 40% off. It means that in every purchase, you save 40% of the money.

How much will be saved by purchasing $224 of cloths be at the register?

40% of 224 will be saved. So

$224 - 1

$x - 0.4

x = 224*0.4

x = $89.60

$89.60 will be saved by purchasing $224 of cloths be at the register

Kat plays a surfing video game with a friend. Each player earns 50 points for each trick he performs, but loses 40 points each t

Dahasolnce [82]

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of points got from 1 stunt = 50.

No. of points deducted from 1 fail = 40.

6 stunts and 9 falls were gained last week.

So, A/C the number of points earned =

(6×50)-(9×40)

= 300 - 360

= -60

Her score today is 3 times her score from last week so multiply by 3

= (-60) × 3

= -180

If it were multiplied by -3 instead of 3 it would be...

(-60) × (-3)

= 180

The difference would be that on multiplying with positive 3 she would be 180 points in the whole but multiplying with negative three means she is 180 points in the league.

The similarity is that that whole number is same but the symbol adds a difference and the absolute value would be same too.
