Let x be the original price of the object.

After the 40% discount, the price of the object now becomes;

x-0.4x=0.6x

0.6x is our new price after the first discount.

Now if we want to find the price after the second discount, (5%)

That would come off to be;

0.6x-0.6(0.05)x=0.6x-0.03x=0.57x

Our last price is 0.57x

If you notice, there was a 43% discount in total, as it goes to 57% of its original price.

This is very non intuitive for some people, as they may think there will be a 45% discount.

What makes a square a square <br> why isn't a rectangle?
Lilit [14]
A square is a geometrical figure that has 4 congruent sides and angles. This means all side lengths and angles are the same.

A rectangle is a geometrical figure that has 4 similar sides but are not the same length. However, a rectangle does have congruent angles. A rectangle has 2 sides that are double the other 2 sides, in which both of each (length & width) have the same measurement.

I hope this helps!

What is the value of x in the equation 3 minus 2 x = negative 1.5 x? –6 –2 2 6
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

x=118.25

Step-by-step explanation:

3−2x=−1.5−6−226

3+−2x=−1.5+−6+−226

−2x+3=(−1.5+−6+−226)(Combine Like Terms)

−2x+3=−233.5

−2x+3=−233.5

Step 2: Subtract 3 from both sides.

−2x+3−3=−233.5−3

−2x=−236.5

Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.

−2x

−2

=

−236.5

−2

x=118.25
