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

3. Jessica is awake 2/3 of the day. She spends 5/8 of this time at home
ruslelena [56]

Answer:  a. 5/12     b. 10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8 x 2/3 = 10/24 = 5/12

she spends 5/12 of the day awake at home

if a day has 24 hours then 5/12 of that is 5/12 x 24 = 10

so she spends 10 hours awake at home

PLEASEEEEEE HELP ME WITH THIS ONE ASAP PLEASE AND THANK YOU
Artemon [7]

Answer:

x=9 and z=83

Step-by-step explanation:

First you subtract 97 from 180 because that gives you z because 180 is a flat angle and 83 plus 97 gives 180. For x the opposite angle is also 97 so you set the equation 5x + 52 = 180 and you solve for x to get the x value. Hope this helps :)

Y = x2 − 2x − 19
xenn [34]
Y = 5 - 4x

5 - 4x = x^2 - 2x - 19
0 = x^2 + 2x -24
0 = (x + 6)(x - 4)
Therefore x = -6 (Given) or 4

x = 4, y = -9
(4,-9) is the other solution
