Answer:
The 45% off discount saves an additional $10 compared to the 15% discount for a total of $15 off regular price.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the original price of the game through a proportion. A proportion is an equation where two ratios or fractions are equal. The ratios or fractions compare like quantities. For example, we will compare percent over percent to an equal ratio of $ to $. Since 15% of 100% is the same ratio as $5 to the unknown original $ price, I write:
I can now cross-multiply by multiplying numerator and denominator from each ratio.
I now solve for y by dividing by 15.
The original price was $33.34.
Now, we can find the amount if 45% off and then then compare the two discounts. To find the percent off I can multiply by 0.45(33.34)=15. The 45% off discount saves an additional $10 compared to the 15% discount.
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
The height of a wooden pole, h, is equal to 15 feet. A taut wire is stretched from a point on the ground to the top of the pole. The distance from the base of the pole to this point on the ground, b. is equal to 8 feet. What is the length of the wire?
Answer:
Length of wire = 17 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The height of the wooden pole is,
The distance from the base of the pole to this point on the ground is,
Let the length of the wire be 'l'.
Now, consider the triangle formed by the pole, the base, and the wire. The length of the wire is the slant length and hence the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Using Pythagorean theorem, we can find the hypotenuse.
Plug in the given values and solve for 'l'. This gives,
As length can never be negative, we ignore the negative result.
Therefore, the length of the wire is 17 feet.
