Answer:

a) $19.2

b) 0.8x

c) $17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We want to find the discount price given the regular price

The discount is 20%

so the discount price will be;

24 - 20% of 24

24 - 4.8 = $19.2

b) We have this as;

x - (20% of x)

x - 0.2x = 0.8x

c) let the original price be x

x - 20% of x = 14

x - 0.2x = 14

0.8x = 14

x = 14/0.8

x = $17.5

Identify the type of function represented by each graph

mario62 [17]

Answer:

13. Linear Function

12. Absolute Value Function

11. Quadratic Function

10. Constant and Linear Function

Step-by-step explanation:

13. This graph is in Slope-Intercept Form, $y = mx + b$ . The equation of this line is $y = x + 1$ .

12. This graph obviously is an Absolute Value graph because it is in the shape of a "V".

11. This graph is in the shape of a parabola, so it is considered "Quadratic".

10. This line is constant because it is a horizontal line, but it is ALSO considered a linear function because it is in the form of $y = mx + b$ , and the equation of this line is $y = -2$ , where you have NO rate of change [slope]. This is what you call horizontal lines, zero slopes.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

A pyramid has a square base of length 8cm and a total surface area of 144cm². Find the volume of the pyramid. (Please use Pythag

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

$\displaystyle V_{ \text{pyramid}}= 64 \: {cm}^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given surface area and the length of the square base

we want to figure out the Volume

to do so

we need to figure out slant length first

recall the formula of surface area

$\displaystyle A_{\text{surface}}=B+\dfrac{1}{2}\times P \times s$

where B stands for Base area

and P for Base Parimeter

$\sf\displaystyle \: 144=(8 \times 8)+\dfrac{1}{2}\times (8 \times 4) \times s$

now we need our algebraic skills to figure out s

simplify parentheses:

$\sf\displaystyle \: 64+\dfrac{1}{2}\times32\times s = 144$

reduce fraction:

$\sf\displaystyle \: 64+\dfrac{1}{ \cancel{ \: 2}}\times \cancel{32} \: ^{16} \times s = 144 \\ 64 + 16 \times s = 144$

simplify multiplication:

$\displaystyle \: 16s + 64 = 144$

cancel 64 from both sides;

$\displaystyle \: 16s = 80$

divide both sides by 16:

$\displaystyle \: \therefore \: s = 5$

now we'll use Pythagoras theorem to figure out height

according to the theorem

$\displaystyle \: {h}^{2} + (\frac{l}{2} {)}^{2} = {s}^{2}$

substitute the value of l and s:

$\displaystyle \: {h}^{2} + (\frac{8}{2} {)}^{2} = {5}^{2}$

simplify parentheses:

$\displaystyle \: {h}^{2} + (4 {)}^{2} = {5}^{2}$

simplify squares:

$\displaystyle \: {h}^{2} + 16 = 25$

cancel 16 from both sides:

$\displaystyle \: {h}^{2} = 9$

square root both sides:

$\displaystyle \: \therefore \: {h}^{} = 3$

recall the formula of a square pyramid

$\displaystyle V_{pyramid}=\dfrac{1}{3}\times A\times h$

where A stands for Base area (l²)

substitute the value of h and l:

$\sf\displaystyle V_{ \text{pyramid}}=\dfrac{1}{3}\times \{8 \times 8 \}\times 3$

simplify multiplication:

$\sf\displaystyle V_{ \text{pyramid}}=\dfrac{1}{3}\times 64\times 3$

reduce fraction:

$\sf\displaystyle V_{ \text{pyramid}}=\dfrac{1}{ \cancel{ 3 \: }}\times 64\times \cancel{ \: 3}$

hence,

$\sf\displaystyle V_{ \text{pyramid}}= 64 \: {cm}^{3}$

Jerome works as a waiter. He earns $80 each weekend plus 15% in tips based on the cost of the meals served.

Softa [21]

Answer:

He gets paid $80 each weekend, and a 15% with tips.

you would need to figure out the tips, by taking the $725 and timesing it by .15 for the percent.

which would be 108.75

you would now take 108.75 and add 80 to get what he made that weekend.

108.75+80 = 188.75 dollars
