Answer:

40% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find the value decrease of the item from yesterday to today

$65 - $39 = $26

That means that $65 was 100% of the price and decreasing it by 26 gets us to 39

We need to find the percentage of 39 in 65

39/65 = 0.6 or 60%

If 39 is 60% of 65, then there was a 40% decrease form 100%

To check we can calculate the percentage of 26 in 65:

26/65 = 40%

There was a 40% decrease

Sherry purchased a new backpack for her daughter. The backpack was on sale for 20% off the regular price. If Sherry paid $28.80

madreJ [45]

28.80 + .20X = X

.20X = X - 28.80

1/5 = .20

X/5 = X -28.80

X = 5X - 144

Set the new X equal to the original X

28.80 + .20X = 5X - 144

172.8 + .20X = 5X

172.8 = 4.8X

36 = X

36$ is the original price

To check,

28.80 + (.20 x 36) = 36

28.80 + 7.2 = 36

36 = 36

A curve in polar coordinates is given by: r=9+3cosθ. Point P is at θ=21π/18 .?

ikadub [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a curve in polar coordinates is given by:

r=9+3cosθ

a) At point P, we have

$θ=\frac{21\pi}{18}$

Substitute to get

$r=9+cos \frac{21\pi}{18}\\=9.3932$

b) Cartesian coordinate is

$x= rcos \theta=3.6934\\y =r sin \tjeta =8.6365$

c) At the origin r =0

when r =0

we have

$9+3cos\theta=0\\cos\theta =-3$

Since cos cannot take values as -3 it doe snot pass through origin.
