Answer:

It depends on what you prefer

Step-by-step explanation:

personally, i prefer percentages because sometimes fractions can get confusing. imagine someone saying " we have 1/2 chance of rain today and 1/8 of it will be scatterd showers while for 1/16th of the day will be clear."

I believe i got my point across

A shirt costs $19 you buy it on clearance for 40% off. How much did you pay for the shirt?
diamong [38]

answer: $11.40

explanation: turn the percent into a decimal, multiply it by the starting cost, then subtract the product from the starting cost

>> 40% = 0.40

0.40 x 19 = 7.60

19 - 7.60 = 11.40

If you add Natalie's age and Fred's age, the result is 42. If you add Fred's age to 3 times
Alla [95]

Answer:

N+F=42 & F+3N=70 System Solved: Natalie is 14 and Fred is 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Using variables N=natalies age and F=Freds age

N+F=42 ----> N=42-F (take this and plug it into the other equation)

F+3N=70 so F+3(42-F)=70 [simplify] F+126-3F=70 [further simplify]

-2F=-56 [divide -56 by -2] F=28 [then plug this number into the orig. equation]

So N+28=42 or N=14.

Find the lateral and total surface area of the prism.
tia_tia [17]

Lateral surface area of the prism = 920 in²

Total surface area of the prism  = 1180 in²

Solution:

Length of the prism = 13 in

Width of the prism = 10 in

Height of the prism = 20 in

Lateral surface area of the prism = 2(l + w)h

                                                       = 2(13 + 10) × 20

                                                       = 2(23) × 20

                                                       = 920 in²

Lateral surface area of the prism = 920 in²

Total surface area of the prism  = Lateral area + 2lw

                                                     = 920 + 2 × 13 × 10

                                                     = 920 + 260

Total surface area of the prism  = 1180 in²

Hence Lateral surface area of the prism = 920 in²

Total surface area of the prism  = 1180 in²
