Martinez purchased a pair of shoes on a web site. the original price of the shoes was $75. she used a coupon code to recive 20%
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

$9 or 9% less

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Price = OP

$75= OP

75 x .2 (20% discount) = 15

$15 discount

$75 - $15 = $60

$60 x .1 (service fee) = 6

$60 + $6= $66

Op ($75) - $66 = 9

$9 less than OP

How I check the percentage (probaly not how ur supposed to but ah well)

75 = 100%

75 + 25 = 100 but 25 more than 100%

66 + 25 = 91, also makes 75 100% again

100%-91%=9%

in a square garden plot (with an area of 400 sq ft)deer fencing priced at $1.50 per foot is to be installed around the plot. if
mina [271]

We have a square garden of 400 square foot.

The area of a square is:

A=x^2

where x: side length.

In this case:

\begin{gathered} A=400=x^2 \\ x=\sqrt[]{400}=20\text{ ft} \end{gathered}

The perimeter of the square is the sum of the lengths of the sides of the square. As they are all equal, we can write:

P=4x=4\cdot20=80\text{ ft}

The fencing is priced at $1.50 per foot. If we add the 7% sales tax to this price we get:

C=1.50\cdot(1+0.07)=1.50\cdot1.07=1.605\text{ \$/ft}

The fencing will be installed in all the perimeter (80 ft).

We can calculate the total cost by multiplying the sales price ($1.605 per foot) and the perimeter (80 ft):

F=C\cdot P=1.605\frac{\text{\$}}{\text{ft}}\cdot80\text{ ft}=\$128.40

Answer: the fencing will cost a total of $128.40

mary has 39 square feet of patio bricks. each square brick has sides 1 foot long. what is the greatest perimeter of a rectangle
bearhunter [10]

-- The smallest perimeter you can make with a certain area
is a circle.

-- The NEXT smallest perimeter with the same area is a square.

   With 1-ft by 1-ft square bricks, the shortest perimeter she could
make would be by using her bricks to make it as square as possible. 
Without cutting bricks into pieces, the best she could do would be  

                           (13 bricks) x (3 bricks) .

                            =    (13-ft) x (3-ft)

           Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width)

                             = (2 x 13-ft)  +  (2 x 3-ft) 
                           
                             =      (26-ft)  +  (6-ft)  =  32 feet  <== shortest perimeter.

-- Then, the more UNSQUARE you make it, the more perimeter
it takes to enclose the same area.  That means Mary has to make
a rectangle as long and skinny as she can.

The longest perimeter she can make (without cutting bricks into
pieces) is    (39 bricks) x (1 brick) .

                        = (39-ft)  x  (1-ft) .

    Perimeter  =  (2 x length) + (2 x width)

                       =   (2 x 39-ft)  +  (2 x 1-ft)

                       =        (78-ft)  +  (2-ft)     =     80 feet .    

What she'll have then is a brick path, 39 feet long and 1 foot wide,
and when you walk on it, you'll need to try hard to avoid falling off
because it's only 1 foot wide.
