Answer:

a. $38.25, b.$40.5, c. Trey

Step-by-step explanation:

A percentage can also be represented as a proportion out of 1; for example, 30 percent is .30, and 100 percent will be 1.00.

a. If Trey is paying 15 percent off a price, that means he is still paying 85 percent, and recall what I said earlier, about 85 percent is a .85 proportion. So now we multiply the price by the proportion he is paying .85*45 = $38.25

b. We want to do the same process we did in part a. So we have 1 - .25 =.75 to get the proportion of the original price Evan will be paying. Now we multiply .75*54 = $40.50.

c. Trey got the better deal because he ended up paying less; hence $38.25 is less than that of $40.50

PLEASE HELP ME, I HAVE NO IDEA! Find an equation for the line below.

Answer:

  y -2 = -2/3(x +4)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several different forms of the equation for a line. Each is useful in its own way. Here, the line crosses the y-axis at a point between integer values, so using that intercept point could be problematical. That suggests the "point-slope" form of the equation for a line would be a better choice.

That form is ...

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

__

The two marked points are (-4, 2) and (5, -4). All we need is the slope.

The slope is given by the formula ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) . . . . . . . . where the given points are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

  m = (-4 -2)/(5 -(-4)) = -6/9 = -2/3

Using the first point, the equation for the line can now be written as ...

  y -2 = -2/3(x -(-4))

  y -2 = -2/3(x +4)

How to find the area of each of the shaded sectors and round to the nearest hundredth
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

1-6 you need to write the JHI DEF where the radius center point is in the middle of each shape next to 1-6 some have 2 shapes so use 6 letters there.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Area = 72 of 360 = 20% of 716.3 =  143.26inch*2 =JHI

2.Area =  19 of 360 = 68.4% of 69.4  = 47.46km^2 =DEF

3. Area = 92 of 360 = 25.56% of 153.9 = 39.33cm^2

4. Area = 226 of 360 = 64.57% of 706.9 = 456.45ft^2

5.  Area = 74 of 360 =  20.55% of 153.9 =31.63 inch^2

6. Area = 326 of 360 = 90.56% of 1452 -137.07 = 1314.93m^2
