Answer:

2/4 = 4/8

Numerator multiplication

2 times 2 = 4

Denominator multiplication

4 times 2 = 8

2/4 = 4/8

2/4 and 4/8 simplified = 1/2

Equal

A special discount was offered to the employees of Ryan's, a lead ing men's store. Employees were given their employee discount

Helen [10]

Answer: a) $2155, b) $1763.03.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of cable knit sweaters = 15

Cost per sweaters = $65.00

Number of pairs of khaki twill pants = 22

Cost of each pair = $50.00

Number of casual jackets = 18

Cost of each jackets = $62.00

total sale volume would be

$15\times 65+22\times 50+18\times 62\\\\=\$3191$

Employee discount = 35%

Additional discount = 15%

So, Total markdown dollars taken is given by

$3191\times \dfrac{100-35}{100}\times \dfrac{100-15}{100}\\\\=3191\times \dfrac{65}{100}\times \dfrac{85}{100}\\\\=3191\times 0.65\times 0.85\\\\=\$1763.0275$

Hence, a) $2155, b) $1763.03.

HELP ASAP PLEASE!!! Explain how you will benefit most from improving your math skills.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Some of the most lucrative jobs are all about math. Most engineering fields are all about sharp math skills, whether it’s civil and mechanical or software engineering. Working in finance also obviously involves a lot of math, and what better way to make money than working in the field that’s all about money? You can also become a statistician or actuary; it’s not easy to find good statisticians, despite the need for them. If you want to earn good money, then you do need good math skills.Then again, you could use math in life anyway.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-2, -5) and (-1, 1)?

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer: y=6x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line, we want to find the slope with the formula $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ .

$m=\frac{1-(-5)}{-1-(-2)} =\frac{6}{1}=6$

Now that we know th eslope, we can start to fill out the equation. To find the y-intercept, we can plug in a given point and solve.

y=6x+b

1=6(-1)+b [multiply]

1=-6+b [add both sides by 6]

b=7

Now, we know the equation is y=6x+7.

How to solve y-b/x=m for y

Slav-nsk [51]

To solve for m we want to get m by itself on one side of the equals sign, with everything else on the other side. First we subtract b from both sides, to get it out of the right side of the equation:
y - b = mx + b - b
y - b = mx
Now we divide both sides by x, to get m completely by itself:
(y-b)/x = (mx)/x
(y-b)/x = m
So m is equal to (y-b)/x.

Solve the following equation for x. 12x - 8 = 40 A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 3

Anon25 [30]

Add 8 to both sides

12x = 40 + 8

Simplify 40 + 8 to 48

12x = 48

Divide both sides by 12

x = 48/12

Simplify 48/12 to 4

x = 4

Answer: A. 4
