Answer: original price = p

price after first 24% discount = .75p

he second 25% discount reduces the already reduced price to .75*.75p = .5625p

So, if .5625p = 16,

p = 16/.5625 = $28.44

check:

25% off $28.44 = $21.33

25% off $21.33 = $16.00

Dr. E. Quation says the Infant Mortality Rate of Korea shown by the expression; 7(m + 3) - 2. Is equal to his criminal success r
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The infant mortality rate in Korea based on equality provided is:

  • 1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the text mentions that the infant mortality rate in Korea is equal to the criminal success rate, the two expressions must equalize and clear the variable m, which is the rate in each of the expressions:

  • 7 (m + 3) - 2 = 8m + 17.2
  • 7m + 21 - 2 = 8m + 17.2
  • 7m + 19 = 8m + 17.2
  • 19 - 17.2 = 8m - 7m
  • 1.8 = m

As you can see, once the equality of the expressions is solved, <u>a rate of 1.8</u> is obtained.

I need help on this,
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

You can eliminate answer A because when X=1, Y must equal 33.75 not 33.

You can eliminate answer B because when X=0, Y must equal 0 not 1.

You can eliminate answer D because this answer has the X and Y coordinates reversed.  When X=1, Y= 33.75.  When X=4, Y=135, etc.
