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!

Which of the following is an equivalent equation obtained by completing the square of the expression below? x^2+6x−8=0 A (x+3)^2

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Solving the equation $x^2+6x-8=0$ by completing the square method we get $\mathbf{(x+3)^2=17}$

Option B is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation $x^2+6x-8=0$ by completing the square method.

For completing the square method: we need to follow: $a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)^2$

We are given:

$x^2+6x-8=0$

Solving by completing the square

$x^2+2(x)(?)+(?)^2-8=0$

We need to find ? in our case ? is 3 because 2*3= 6 and our middle term is 6x i,e 2(x)(3)=6x.

So, adding and subtracting (3)^2

$x^2+2(x)(3)+(3)^2-8-(3)^2=0\\(x+3)^2-8-9=0\\(x+3)^2-17=0\\(x+3)^2=17$

So, solving the equation $x^2+6x-8=0$ by completing the square method we get $\mathbf{(x+3)^2=17}$

Option B is correct option.

28) Find the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 2.5 inches. (it = 3.14)

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: Circumference = 7.85 inches

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of circumference.

The circumference is the perimeter of a circle. The perimeter is the curve length around any closed figure.

Circumference = 2πr

r = radius

π = constant

Solve:

Given information

r = (1/2) d = (1/2) (2.5) = 1.25 inches

π = 3.14

Given formula

Circumference = 2πr

Substitute values into the formula

Circumference = 2 · (3.14) · (1.25)

Simplify by multiplication

Circumference = (2.5) · (2.14)

Circumference = $\boxed {7.85 inches}$

Hope this helps!! :)
