Jill is shopping at a department store that is having a sale this week. The store has advertised 15% off certain merchandise. Ji

ll calculates the sales price by multiplying the regular price by 15% and then subtracting the amount from the regular price:SP = RP - 0.15(RP), where S = sales price and R = regular price. Find a simpler way for Jill to calculate the sales price as she shops.

Answer:

The simpler way is:

SP = 0.85*RP

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that we have a given amount A. and now we take a given percentage, X%, off.

The new amount will be:

New amount = A - (X%/100%)*A = A*(1 - X%/100%)

This is the general formula.

In this case, we know that the store has advertised 15% off, then we have X% = 15%

Then if:

SP = sales price

RP = regular price

We will have the equation:

SP = RP - (15%/100%)*RP = RP - 0.15*RP

This is what Jill found, but if we use the general equation above, we will find that:

SP = RP*(1 - 15%/100%) = RP*(1 - 0.15) = RP*0.85

So we just need to multiply the regular price by 0.85 to get the sales price.

The length of a rectangle is 9 cm more then half the width. Find the length of the perimeter is 60cm
stira [4]

length = 1/2 w+9

perimeter= 60 =2(l+w)  

substitute in for length

60 = 2(1/2 w +9 +w)  

60 = 2 (3/2 w +9)

distribute

60 = 3w + 18

subtract 18 from each side

42 = 3w

divide by 3 on each side

14 = w

length = 1/2 w + 9

length = 1/2 (14) +9

              7 + 9

16cm

What is the result when like terms are combined in the expression
pentagon [3]

Answer:Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.1

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.A.2

Solve word problems that call for addition of three whole numbers whose sum is less than or equal to 20, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

Understand and apply properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.B.3

Apply properties of operations as strategies to add and subtract.2 Examples: If 8 + 3 = 11 is known, then 3 + 8 = 11 is also known. (Commutative property of addition.) To add 2 + 6 + 4, the second two numbers can be added to make a ten, so 2 + 6 + 4 = 2 + 10 = 12. (Associative property of addition.)

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.B.4

Understand subtraction as an unknown-addend problem. For example, subtract 10 - 8 by finding the number that makes 10 when added to 8.

Add and subtract within 20.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.C.5

Relate counting to addition and subtraction (e.g., by counting on 2 to add 2).

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.C.6

Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 - 4 = 13 - 3 - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 - 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).

Work with addition and subtraction equations.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.D.7

Understand the meaning of the equal sign, and determine if equations involving addition and subtraction are true or false. For example, which of the following equations are true and which are false? 6 = 6, 7 = 8 - 1, 5 + 2 = 2 + 5, 4 + 1 = 5 + 2.
