Answer: 34%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Price is marked down by 60% with an additional discount of 15% on the marked down price

Suppose x is the original price of the item

After marking down, it is

\Rightarrow x-x\times 0.6=0.4x

after additional discount it is

\Rightarrow 0.4x(1-0.15)=0.4x\times 0.85=0.34x

Effective discount on the item is

\Rightarrow \dfrac{x-0.34x}{x}\times 100=66\%

Thus, a person is paying 100-66=34\% of the original price

If the club decides to send 5 members to the convention, how many different groups of 5 are possible? there are 10 members
hodyreva [135]
For the 1st member, you have 10 possible choices.

For the 2nd, you have 9 remaining choices.

For the 3rd: 8.

So all possible combinations would be:
10*9*8*7*6 = 10! - 5! = 30,240 combinations.

How well can you apply Boyle’s law to this sample of gas that experiences changes in pressure and volume? Assume that temperatur
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

A = 1.0 L

B = 0.50 atm

C = 0.60 atm

D = 4.0 L

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Boyle's law, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume. If we consider an initial state (1) and a final state (2):

P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂

A

P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂

1.5 atm × 2.0 L = 3.0 atm × A

A = 1.0 L

B

P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂

1.5 atm × 2.0 L = B × 6.0 L

B = 0.50 atm

C

P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂

1.5 atm × 2.0 L = C × 5.0 L

C = 0.60 atm

D

P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂

1.5 atm × 2.0 L = 0.75 atm × D

D = 4.0 L
