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!

Solve for y. 4y+5/3 = y-8/2 y = -4 y = -5 y = -8

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{4y+5}{3}=\dfrac{y-8}{2}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by }\ 2\cdot3=6\\\\6\!\!\!\!\diagup^2\cdot\dfrac{4y+5}{\not3_1}=6\!\!\!\!\diagup^3\cdot\dfrac{y-8}{\not2_1}\\\\2(4y+5)=3(y-8)\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\(2)(4y)+(2)(5)=(3)(y)+(3)(-8)\\\\8y+10=3y-24\qquad\text{subtract 10 from both sides}\\\\8y=3y-34\qquad\text{subtract 3y from both sides}\\\\5y=-34\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\\boxed{y=-\dfrac{34}{5}}$

What value has a z-score of -0.67, if the mean is 18 and the standard deviation is 1.68?

uranmaximum [27]

The data point is 1.6 standard deviations above the mean.
Step-by-step explanation:
Z-score
It is the number of standard deviations from the mean that a data point is. It's a measure of how many standard deviations below or above the population mean a raw score is.
A Z-score is also known as a standard score and it can be placed on a normal distribution curve.
As in this case the Z-score is +1.6, so it means the data point is 1.6 standard deviations above the mean. Hope this helps I am kinda knew to this so I hope I helped you
