Answer:

Jane's friend's assumption about the original price was incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

A price of $40 after being given a 20% discount would end up being $50 instead of $48. This is because 20% of $50 is $10, and that is what was deducted from the price to make it $40.

Hope I helped! ☺

Answer:

she is incorrect because if she was given a 20% discount the amount she would have to pay is 38.4

Step-by-step explanation:

48 x .2 = 9.6

48 - 9.6 = 38.4 not 40

Answer:

20.

$18.40.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean number of people = (12+19+17+26+26)/5

= 100/5

= 20.

Karmin's original hourly rate = 480/30

= $16 per hour.

With a 15% rise it is 16 * 1.15

= $18.40 / hour.

If edging cost $2.32 per 12-inch stone, and you want a double layer of edging around your flower bed that is 6 yards by 1 yard.
aksik [14]
12 inches = 1foot
1yard = 3feet
6yards = 18feet
Rerange the question:
If edging cost $2.32 per 1foot stone, and you want a double layer of edging around your flower bed that is 18feet by 3feet. How much will edging you flower bed cost?
Perimter:
2(18+3)=42
And since you want to double it; double the perimeter too.
42(2)=84

2.32(84)=194.88

Find the value of x and y in the parallelogram. Explain.
Ray Of Light [21]

x = 26


Because 26-2=24 which would be right because it needs to equal the same size as the other side that is across from it.


y = 11


Because it’s the same size as the bottom side, which is also the side across from it.



This is true because a parallelogram has 2 sets of parallel side!!!



I hope this helps! :)
