Answer:
$199.50
Step-by-step explanation:
10% discount of $34 = 10/100*34 = $3.40
so, a single shirt costs $34-$3.40 = $30.60
half off = 50% discount of $31 = 50/100*31 = $15.50
so, a single cap costs $31-$15.50 = $15.50
so, 5 shirts and 3 caps cost now
5*$30.60 + 3*$15.50 = $153 + $46.50 = $199.50
but careful - can this be a trick question ?
the phrasing of the problem description can also suggest that the discounts are only listed to confuse us and are already included in the mentioned prices ("worth" $34 - what does that mean ? because including the discounts they are currently "worth" their prices).
then it would just plainly be
5*$34 + 3*$31 = $170 + $93 = $263
-7y-4x=17y-2x=53
-4x=24y-2x=53
-2x=24y=53
24y+2x=53
You would have to solve one at a time.
y=53/24
y=2.21
x=53/2
x=26.5
Answer:
x = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
(whole secant) x (external part) = (tangent)^2
(14+18)* 18 = x^2
32*18 = x^2
576 = x^2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(576) = sqrt(x^2)
24 =x
3/7 = 0.43 (approx.)
4/9 = 0.44 (approx.)
Hence, 4/9 is bigger.
