Answer:
D. 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the missing length be represented as x.
Thus:
(24 - x)/12 = x/20 => angle bisector theorem
Cross multiply
20(24 - x) = x(12)
480 - 20x = 12x
480 - 20x + 20x = 12x + 20x
480 = 32x
480/32 = 32x/32
15 = x
Missing length = x = 15
<u>Answer</u>
c. buying it at a 10 percent discount without sales tax.
<u>Explanation</u>
We are going to compare the 3 choices and then determine the most cost effective.
<em>a. using a paid membership card to buy it at a 10 percent discount.</em>
10% of $100 = 10/100×100 = $10
cost = $100 - $10 = $90
On top of this $90 there is the charges of the membership card.
<em> b. buying it online at a 10 percent discount with a $5 shipping charge.</em>
100%-10% = 90%
90% of 100 = $90
Cost: $90 + $5 = $95
<em>c. buying it at a 10 percent discount without sales tax.</em>
100% - 10% = 90%
90/100 × 100 = $90. This is the must cost effective method since there is no other cost involved.
Answer:
25% decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the original amount of books and subtract the new number of books
20 -15 = 5
Divide by the original amount of books
5/20 = .25
Multiply by 100%
25%
It is a decrease since the amount went down
25% decrease
Answer:259
Step-by-step explanation:
Its summation of 6^i-1 for values of I = 1,2,3 and 4
= 6^0 + 6^1 +6^2 +6^3
=259
