Answer:

The sale price of the item is $ 255

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the amount of discount ( d ) offered by the store, we calculate

15 % of the sale price. Thus:

d = 300 × 15 ÷ 100

d = 3 00 × 15 ÷ 1 00 (take the 2 zeros out on both the hundred and 3 hundred)

d = 3 × 15

d = 45

If the amount of discount is known, the sale price ( s ) of the item will be the regular price minus the discount. Hence:

s = 300 − 45

s = 255

Hope this helps you! If not sorry!

If the measure of angle 1 is (3 x minus 4) degrees and the measure of angle 2 is (4 x + 10) degrees, what is the measure of angl

arlik [135]

Answer:

58 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If angle 1 + angle 2 = 90 degrees, then:

(3x - 4) + (4x+10) = 90

Combine like terms:

(3x+4x) + (10-4) = 90

7x + 6 = 90

Subtract 6 from both sides:

7x = 84

Divide both sides by 7:

x = 12

**Plug x back into angle 2 (This step is easy to forget!):

angle 2 = 4(12) + 10

angle 2 = 48 + 10

angle 2 = 58 degrees

Find the first term and the common ratio <br>third term =6 and seventh term= 96

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

First term a₁ = 3/2 and common ratio r = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the first term and common ratio while we are given third term = 6 and seventh term = 96

Since common ratio is required so, the sequence is geometric sequence

The formula used is: $a_n= a_1r^{n-1}$

We are given: third term = 6 i,e

$a_3=a_1r(3-1)\\6=a_1r^2----eq(1)$

Seventh term = 96

$a_7=a_1r(7-1)\\96=a_1r^6----eq(2)$

Dividing eq(2) and eq(3)

$\frac{96}{6}=\frac{a_1r^6}{a1r2}\\16=\frac{r^6}{r^2}\\16=r^{6-2}\\=> r^4=16\\Taking \ fourth \ root\\ r=2,-2,2i,-2i\\ \ We \ will \ consider \ only \ positive \ value \ of \ r \ i.e \ \textbf{ r= 2}$

So, Common Ratio r = 2

Finding First term using eq(1)

$a_3=a_1r^2\\6=a_1(2)^2\\6=a_1(4)\\a_1= \frac{6}{4}\\a_1= \frac{3}{2}$

So, First term a₁ = 3/2 and common ratio r = 2

A deck of cards contains RED cards numbered 1,2,3,4,5, BLUE cards numbered 1,2,3, and GREEN cards numbered 1,2,3,4,5,6. If a sin

Tatiana [17]

Answer: 1/52

Step-by-step explanation:

A deck of cards contains 52 cards

Red cards are numbered 1,2,3

Blue cards are numbered 1,2,3,4,5,6

Green cards are numbered 1,2

Number of Red card = 3

Number of blue card = 6

Number of Green card = 2

Let Pr(R) = Probability of picking a Red card

Let Pr(B) = probability of picking a blue card

Let Pr(G) = probability of picking a green card

Let Pr(RE) = Probability of picking a red even card

Let Pr(RO) = probability of picking a red odd card

Let Pr(BE) =probability of picking a blue even card

Let Pr(BO) = probability of picking a blue odd card

Let Pr(GE) = probability of picking a green even card

Let Pr(GO) = probability of picking a green odd card

Pr(R) = 3/52

Since we have 3 red cards,

Pr(RE) = 1/3

Pr(RO) =2/3

Pr(B) = 6/52

= 3/26

Since we have 6 blue cards ,

Pr(BE) = 3/6

= 1/2

Pr(BO) = 3/6

= 1/2

Pr (G) = 2/52

= 1/26

Since we have 2 green cards,

Pr(GE) = 1/2

Pr(GO) = 1/2

The probability of picking a Green card and an odd green card is

Pr(G) n pr(GO)

1/26 * 1/2

= 1/52
