The answer is: z² .
__________________________
Given: <span>(x÷(y÷z))÷((x÷y)÷z) ; without any specified values for the variables;
_______________________
we shall simplify.
___________________
We have:
__________
</span>(x÷(y÷z)) / ((x÷y)÷z) .
_____________________________________
Start with the first term; or, "numerator": (x÷(y÷z)) ;
_____________________________________
x ÷ (y / z) = (x / 1) * (z / y) = (x * z) / (1 *y) = [(xz) / y ]
_____________________________________
Then, take the second term; or "denominator":
_____________________________________
((x ÷ y) ÷z ) = (x / y) / z = (x / y) * (1 / z) = (x *1) / (y *z) = [x / (zy)]
_________________________________________
So (x÷(y÷z)) / ((x÷y)÷z) = (x÷(y÷z)) ÷ ((x÷y)÷z) =
[(xz) / y ] ÷ [x / (zy)] = [(xz) / y ] / [x / (zy)] =
[(xz) / y ] * [(zy) / x] ;
_______________________________________
The 2 (two) z's "cancel out" to "1" ; and
The 2 (two) y's = "cancel out" to "1" ;
______________________________________________
And we are left with: z * z = z² . The answer is: z² .
______________________________________________
The answer is b
hope this helps :)
So
<span>20% of 18.50 = ____ </span>
<span>to get this you multiply </span>
<span>20% is .20 in decimal form </span>
<span>18.50 x .20 = $3.70 </span>
<span>so 20% is $3.70, which means the discount is $3.70 </span>
<span>so then you subtract $3.70 from the original price of 18.50 and you get </span>
<span>$14.80 which is your answer (:</span>
