Since it's Wednesday, Buy for Less gives a 5% discount for purchases. The items in Rhonda's cart total $53.75. She needs to know

the cost of the items with the discount. So, she multiplies 5% times $53.75 and subtracts the amount from $53.75. Which expression would give Rhonda the same result in one step? A) .90(53.75) B) .95(53.75) C) 1.05(53.75) D) 53.75 - .05(53.75)

First we need to know how much the discount was so 5% is actually 0.05 then we need to multiply it by 53.75 which would equal 2.6875 then subtract it by 53.75 which would equal -51.0625.

B) .95(53.75)

This is a trick question because D) could also be correct if they said you could subtract it but it's not saying use the distributive property.

Amanda spent a total of 70 minutes competing her chores this week. Write and solve an equation to represent the number of minute

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

28 minutes spent in washing the dishes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the table

Chore time in minutes

Sweeping 42

Dishes ?

Amanda spent a total of 70 minutes competing her chores this week

Total of 70 minutes spent

42 minutes spent in sweeping . to find the number of minutes Amanda spent in washing the dishes , subtract 42 minutes from the total time spent

let x be the number of minutes spent washing the dishes

$42+x=70$

To solve for x , subtract 42 from both sides

$42+x=70\\x= 70-42\\x=28$

28 minutes spent in washing the dishes.

QUESTION 33

The length of the legs of the right triangle are given as,

6 centimeters and 8 centimeters.

The length of the hypotenuse can be found using the Pythagoras Theorem.

${h}^{2} = {6}^{2} + {8}^{2}$

${h}^{2} = 36+ 64$

${h}^{2} = 100$

$h = \sqrt{100}$

$h = 10cm$

Answer: C

QUESTION 34

The triangle has a hypotenuse of length, 55 inches and a leg of 33 inches.

The length of the other leg can be found using the Pythagoras Theorem,

${l}^{2} + {33}^{2} = {55}^{2}$

${l}^{2} = {55}^{2} - {33}^{2}$

${l}^{2} = 1936$

$l = \sqrt{1936}$

$l = 44cm$

Answer:B

QUESTION 35.

We want to find the distance between,

(2,-1) and (-1,3).

Recall the distance formula,

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Substitute the values to get,

$d=\sqrt{( - 1-2)^2+(3- - 1)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{( - 3)^2+(4)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{9+16}$

$d=\sqrt{25}$

$d = 5$

Answer: 5 units.

QUESTION 36

We want to find the distance between,

(2,2) and (-3,-3).

We use the distance formula again,

$d=\sqrt{( - 3-2)^2+( - 3- 2)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{( - 5)^2+( - 5)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{25+25}$

$d=\sqrt{50}$

$d=5\sqrt{2}$
