A line passes through the point (8,-7) and has a slope of -5/4.

Why is the answer B?

Radda [10]

Remark

Whatever the original price, he gets 70% in the first instance.

He gets 80% in the second instance.

He gets 90% in the third instance

His total income is 240 dollars.

Let the original price be x

Equation

70%x + 80%x +90%x = 240

70% = 0.7 ; 80% = 0.8 ;90% = 0.9

Solution

0.7x + 0.8x + 0.9x = 240 Take out x as a common factor and add the decimals.

x (0.7 + 0.8 + 0.9) = 240

2.4x = 240 Divide both sides by 2.4

x = 240/2.4

x = 100

So the watches should have brought in 3*100 = 300 dollars.

He only brought in 240 dollars.

He lost 300 - 240 = 60 dollars.

The answer is B.

Serial numbers for a product are to be made using 2 letters followed by 3 numbers. If the letters are to be taken from the first

Daniel [21]

2 Letters chosen among 6 with no repeat:
a) the first has 6 ways
    the second has 5 ways

Then to choose 2 letters among 6, with no repeat, there are 6x5 = 30 ways

b) 3 numbers are taken from the digits 0 through 9 with repeats (total = 10)
   the first has 10 ways
   the second has 10 ways
    the third has 10 ways

Then to choose 3 numbers among 10, with repeat, there are 10x10x10= 1000 ways
And the total serial numbers that can be generated is
30 x 1000 = 3000

A gallon of gas costs $4.34.Greg puts 12 gallons of gas in his car,He has a 50-dollar bill.Tell how much Greg will have left,or

Lerok [7]

Greg will need $2.08 more money to buy 12 gallons of gas.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

A gallon of gas costs $4.34

Greg puts 12 gallon of gas

Greg has $50

First, we are going to calculate how much money does Greg needs for 12 gallon of gas:

= 12 gallon of gas x cost/gallon

= 12 x 4.34

= 52.08

To multiply the decimal it's just the same way as the whole number multiplication, except for the placement of the decimal point in the answer. For the example

4.34 ⇒ 2 decimal place

<u> 12 x</u> ⇒ 0 decimal place

868

52.08 ⇒ 2 decimal place

By doing the same process as the whole number multiplication we got the answer is 52.08, but don't forget to add the decimal point/decimal place. The first factor has 2 decimal place, the second factor has 0 decimal place, so the answer will have two decimal place (2+0 = 2), by adding the decimal place.

The next step , 12 gallon of gas cost $52.08, if he has $50 so it cost more than the money he has, We are going to do a subtraction:

$52.08

<u>$50.00 </u>- ⇒ <em>we put zero so we can the borrowing (regrouping)</em>

$ 2.08

To subtract a decimal number, we need to line up the decimal point, add trailing zero as a placeholder and then do the subtraction
