Answer:
When we have a discount of X% of the original price, the new price is calculated as:
New price = (original price) - (original price)*(X%/100%)
In our case, let's define:
P = original price of the fishing pole
f = price of the fishing pole after the discount
X% = 20%
Then the equation for the price of the fishing pole is:
f = P - P*(20%/100%) = P - P*0.2 = P*(1 - 0.2) = P*0.8
f = 0.8*P
This means that the price after the discount is 0.8 times the original price.
Answer:
The equation of the line is y = 4x + 13
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we want to write the equation of the line using the point slope form.
Mathematically, the point slope form can be represented as;
(y-y1) = m(x - x1)
where x1 = -2 , y1 = 5 and m which is the slope is 4
Plugging these values into the equation, we have;
(y-5) = 4(x - (-2))
y-5 = 4(x + 2)
y -5 = 4x + 8
y = 4x + 8 + 5
y = 4x + 13
For this, no math is even needed! The question says 1,000 people were interviewed. 42% percent of that 1,000 owns an SUV. If it's a percent, it is 42/100, right? Now we have to make that 42/100 out of 1000. We add a zero to the 100 on the bottom (42/1000). We do the same thing on the top. Add a zero! 420.
SECOND POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Solve this with logic! 42% is nearly 50%. Half of 1,000 is 500. What is closest to 500? 420! This solution is even easier.
Hope this helps you!
Subtract 4, subtract 2x, then divide by -2
Answer:
<em>Natalie's total spread = 18</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The 'spread' of a crossword puzzle tournament player is computed as his/her total score minus the opponent's total score.
Natalie's scores are:
N=410+380+395+370+320+360=2,235
Opponent's scores are:
O=395+360+412+355+340+355=2,217
Natalie's total spread = 2,235 - 2,217 = +18
Natalie's total spread = 18
