Answer:

222 fence posts

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the log is 20 m long, correct to the nearest metre and has to be cut into fence posts which must be 90 cm long, correct  to the nearest 10 centimetres, there can be x fence posts 90 cm long.

So, we have x × 90 cm = 20 m

x × 0.9 m = 20 m

x = 20 m/0.9 m

x = 222.22

x ≅ 222 fence posts

So, the largest number of fence posts that can possibly be cut from the log is 222 fence posts.

A store has clearance items that have been marked down by 60% they having a sale, advertising an additional 30% off clearance it
bagirrra123 [75]

The original price is 100% of the price. If the price is marked 60% off, then you pay 40% of the original price.

An item costs x dollars.

With the 60% off discount, it now costs 40% of x, or 0.4x.

Now you apply a 30% discount.

For the second discount, consider the price 0.4x to be the new original price. If the price is now discounted 30%, you will pay 70% of the new original price.

Start with 0.4x.

Now calculate 70% of 0.4x.

70% of 0.4x = 0.70 * 0.4x = 0.28x

After applying the 60% discount and the 30% discount, the item that originally cost x now costs 0.28x. 0.28x is the same as 28% of x. The amount you pay is 28% of the original price.

Answer: 28%

If x=-7 and y=4 what would x^2-3xy=
Kruka [31]

Answer:

While x = -7 and y = 4, x² - 3xy = 133.

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 3xy

Substitute variables.

(-7)² - 3(-7)(4)

Square -7 remembering that (-x)² = x².

49 - 3(-7)(4)

Multiply -7 and 4.

49 - 3(-28)

Multiply -3 and -28.

49 + 84

Add 49 and 84.

133
