<h3>Answer:    $14.25</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

There are two approaches we can take.

The first approach is finding the amount we save, which is 5% of 15 = 0.05*15 = 0.75 dollars or 75 cents.

So the new price is 15 - 0.75 = 14.25 dollars

----------------

The second approach is to think of it like this: If you save 5%, then you still have to pay the remaining 95% (the two percentages add to 100%).

95% of 15 = 0.95*15 = 14.25

This second approach is handy if you want to chain multiple discounts together. So let's say there's a special 10% off sale on top of the 5% discount. We would multiply by 0.90 to further discount by 10% and get to 0.90*0.95*15 = 12.825 = 12.83. It also works in reverse too and we could chain percent increases along with percent decreases.

A grocer has 2 kinds of tea, one that sells for $8.00 per pound and the other that sells for $6.00 per pound. How many pounds of
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

35 pounds of $8.00 tea and 15 pounds of $6.00 tea

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the pounds of tea of the $8 kind. 8x would represent the total cost of that type of tea. We can also say 50 - x is the pounds of tea of the $6 kind, so 6(50 - x) is the total cost of that type of tea. 50 * 7.4 represents the total cost of all the tea, and the expression 8x + 6(50 -x) would also represent the same thing. We can write this as an equation,

8x + 6(50 -x) = 50 * 7.4

simplify,

8x + 300 - 6x = 370

2x + 300 = 370

and solve.

2x = 70

x = 35

This means there is 35 pounds of the $8 kind.

We can subtract that from 50 to find,

50 - 35 = 15,

15 pounds is the amount of the $6 kind.

What percent of 75.5 is 81.54
lutik1710 [3]
If you would like to know what percent of 75.5 is 81.54, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x% of 75.5 is 81.54
x% * 75.5 = 81.54
x/100 * 75.5 = 81.54
x = 81.54 * 100 / 75.5
x = 108%

Result: 108% of 75.5 is 81.54.

(06.01)The tables below show four sets of data:
Yakvenalex [24]
For it to be non-linear, the rate of change cannot be constant.  For the first table the rate is a constant 1 and the second table has a constant rate of -1.  The 3rd and 4th tables have no constant rate and thus are non-linear.

The 4th table is increasing while the 3rd table is decreasing.  

So the 3rd table, Set C, is the only non-linear negative association between x and y.

FIRST ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST!!!
maksim [4K]

I believe it is A and C.

There are 6 slots on the wheel, so both the numbers in A and E can be divided/multiplied to fit this criterion.  For example, 3 times 2 is 6 (the number of gender slots) and 1 times 2 is two, so two out of 6 art teachers will be female.

I hope this helps!!!

A population of 110,000 grows 5% per year for 14 years. How much will the population be after 14 years?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Since it is growing at 5% per year, at the end of each year the population will be 1.05 times what is was at the start of the year.

 

Start with 110,000 and multiply by 1.05 a total of 16 times to get the population at the end of 16 years.

 

P = 110,000 x 1.0316 ≅ 176,518
