Answer:
27000
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to round 27346 to 2 significant figures.
Now, the number already has 5 significant figures, so to reduce it to 2 sig figures, we will have to reduce the 3 digits from the right to zero so that we can have just 2 significant figures by approximating.
Thus, 3 is less than 5 and so 7 cannot increase. Thus, we will have 27000 as the number when reduced to 2 significant figures.
This is pretty simple. All you have to do is make the first and second fraction share a denominator by multiplying them by each other.
6 <span>• 9 = 54
Then multiply each numerator by the opposing denominator.
1 </span><span>• 9 = 9
2 </span><span>• 6 = 12
Here are the new fractions:
9/54
12/54
Now add the 9 and 12 together.
9 + 12 = 21
The complete fraction:
21/54
Subtract 21 from 54 so you can get the remainder of the sweater.
54 - 21 = 33
This is the remainder fraction:
33/54
Can you simplify this? Yes, of course! They can both be divided by 3!
11/18
That is the remainder of the sweater. But you still have to divide it in half! After all, Linda only knitted half of the remaining sweater. Dividing it in half can be done just by multiplying the denominator by 2.
11/36
That should be your answer! Apologies if I got something wrong.</span>
Answer:
discount = 9
new price = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
The discount is the price times the discount percent
45 * 20%
Change to decimal form
45*.20
9
The new price is the original price minus the discount
45-9 = 36
