Answer:
48%
Step-by-step explanation:
let's say the initial price of an item is $100
if you take 40% off then you pay only $60
now if you take 20% off 60 you pay $48
$48 is 48% of 100
Answer:
One pair of gloves costs $3.75.
Step-by-step explanation:
Systems of equations
x=hats y=gloves
2x+3y=28.25
x+y=12.25
2(12.25-y)+3y=28.25
24.5+y=28.25
y=3.75
Answer:
b^2 + 4 a b - 2 b - 2 a^2 + -5 a
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following:
-2 a (a + b - 5) + 3 (2 b - 5 a) + b (6 a + b - 8)
-2 a (-5 + a + b) = 10 a - 2 a^2 - 2 a b:
10 a - 2 a^2 - 2 a b + 3 (2 b - 5 a) + b (6 a + b - 8)
3 (2 b - 5 a) = 6 b - 15 a:
10 a - 2 a^2 - 2 a b + 6 b - 15 a + b (6 a + b - 8)
b (-8 + 6 a + b) = -8 b + 6 a b + b^2:
10 a - 2 a^2 - 2 a b - 15 a + 6 b + -8 b + 6 a b + b^2
Grouping like terms, 10 a - 2 a^2 - 2 a b - 15 a + 6 b - 8 b + 6 a b + b^2 = b^2 + (6 a b - 2 a b) + (6 b - 8 b) - 2 a^2 + (10 a - 15 a):
b^2 + (6 a b - 2 a b) + (6 b - 8 b) - 2 a^2 + (10 a - 15 a)
a b 6 + a b (-2) = 4 a b:
b^2 + 4 a b + (6 b - 8 b) - 2 a^2 + (10 a - 15 a)
6 b - 8 b = -2 b:
b^2 + 4 a b + -2 b - 2 a^2 + (10 a - 15 a)
10 a - 15 a = -5 a:
Answer: b^2 + 4 a b - 2 b - 2 a^2 + -5 a
