Let t = number of hours
The first candle starts at 8 inches.
It burns at 7/10 inch per hour, so in t hours it burns (7/10)t inches.
After t hours, its length is 8 - (7/10)t
The second candle starts at 6 inches.
It burns at 1/5 inch per hour, so in t hours it burns (1/5)t inches.
After t hours, its length is 6 - (1/5)t
You want the lengths to be equal, so the equation is
8 - (7/10)t = 6 - (1/5)t
Answer:
-2x-14
Step-by-step explanation:
B is the answer!
Explanation:
m^2 n^2 fits into both, you can take m^2 n^2 out of it both.
m is a common factor since you can take m out of both but it’s not the greatest common factor.
2n & 2m wouldn’t even be a common factor bc there is no 2n or 2m in neither.
Hi, theres not enough info provided
Answer:
(A) Your friend will save $282.
(B) Your friend will get 23.5% off the original price of the mattress.
Step-by-step explanation:
We first need to find out the price of the mattress after the 15% discount. Our first step is to find what 15% of 1,200 is. We can do this by multiplying the two numbers.
1,200 x 15% -----> 1,200 x 0.15= 180.
15% of $1,200 is $180.
Next subtract $180 from $1,200, which equals $1,020. We can now apply the 10% off internet coupon.
1,020 x 10% ------> 1,020 x 0.10= 102.
10% of $1,020 is $102.
Next we subtract $102 from $1,020 and we get $918, the final price of the discounted mattress.
We subtract to see how much money the friend saved.
$1,200 - $918= $282.
We can get the percentage by dividing $282 by $1,200.
282 / 1200= 0.235 decimal form ----> 23.5%
