What Was The Original Cost Of The Jacket.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  (c)  $80

Step-by-step explanation:

Each discounted price corresponds to the original price multiplied by a factor related to the discount. For a discount fraction of 'd', the multiplier is (1 -d).

This means you can use any of the lines in the table to find the original price.

  5% disount: (1 -5%)·p = $76 . . . . where p is the original price

     p = $76/0.95 = $80 . . . . . . . the original price

  10% discount: (1 -10%)·p = $72

     p = $72/0.90 = $80

  25% discount: (1 -25%)·p = $60

     p = $60/0.75 = $80

_____

Additional comment

The table values for 5% and 10% differ by 5% and $4. That means 5% of the original price is $4. There are two things you can do with this:

add back that 5% to the 5%-discounted price: $76 +4 = $80multiply that 5% by 20 to get 100% of the original price: 20(5%) = 20($4) ⇒ 100% = $80.

2/5n+ 3/6+ 1/8n
what does it equal

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{21}{40}n[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The important part to understand about this problem is that you need to find a common denominator. You can ONLY add two fractions if they have the same denominator. A way to change the denominator of a fraction is to multiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction by the same number.

So, You want to make the 2/5n and 1/8n to have the same denominator so you can add them. An easy rule of thumb is multiply the one of the fraction by the other fraction's denominator, so in this problem:

[tex]\frac{2 * 8}{5*8} n[/tex] and [tex]\frac{1*5}{8*5}n[/tex]

this comes out as

16/40n and 5/40n

NOW, they have the same denominator and you can add the numerators together to make it one happy fraction

[tex]\frac{16}{40} + \frac{5}{40} = \frac{16+5}{40} = \frac{21}{40}[/tex]

Then, for the 3/6, you can simplify this fraction into:

1/2

This is because if you divide the top and bottom of the fraction by 3 like so:

[tex]\frac{3/3}{6/3}[/tex] (Always make sure you do the same for the top as you do to the bottom)

This comes out as

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Then for the full equation:

[tex]\frac{21}{40} n + \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Find x. Perimeter.

What is the value of x?

What is the perimeter of this triangle?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the distance of a vertex on the 2 outgoing sides to the touching points with the inscribed circle is the same for both sides.

and that applies to all 3 vertexes.

so, we know for the top left vertex the distance to both touching points is 4.

that means the distance to the touching points from the bottom left vertex is 7-4 = 3.

and that means that the distance to the touching points from the bottom right vertex is 16-3 = 13.

so, x = 13

it is the distance to one of the touching points for the bottom right vertex.

and the perimeter of the triangle is therefore

7 + 16 + (13 + 4) = 40

If 12 workers can dig a tunnel in 100 days, how long will it take 20 workers to dig the tunnel

Answers

Answer:

60 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is  a proportion question. You compare two ratios. Unfortunately it is an inverse ratio.

12 = k/100                   Multiply both sides by 100

1200 = k

20 = k/x                       Multiply both sides by x

20x = k

20x = 1200                 Divide by 20

20x/20 = 1200/20

x = 60 days.  

An inverse proportion works by making a constant k. The  constant k makes the days shorter when the number of people increases. You should expect that. More people , less time.

Mayrin has rectangular rug with an area of 36 square feet. The area is represented by the equation f(x)= x2 + 5x – 36 and this rug is 5 feet longer than it is wide. What are the dimensions of the rug?

Answers

Answer:

B)  width = 4 ft

    length = 9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 36 ft²

Let width = x

⇒ length = x + 5

Area of a rectangle = width × length

⇒ 36 = x(x + 5)

⇒ x² + 5x - 36 = 0

⇒ x² + 9x - 4x - 36 = 0

⇒ (x² + 9x) + (-4x - 36) = 0

⇒ x(x + 9) - 4(x + 9) = 0

⇒ (x + 9)(x - 4) = 0

⇒ x = -9, x = 4

As distance is positive, x = 4 only

Therefore,

width = x = 4 ft

length = x + 5 = 4 + 5 = 9 ft

is it adjacent or vertical


find the value of X

Answers

Answer:

Adjacent, x = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

Adjacent angles are pairs of angles next to each other. Vertical angles make an x shape, are across from each other, and have the same measure. These are adjacent angles.

This is a 90° angles, which is signified by the little red box. To solve for x, make an equation by adding the two angles together and set them equal to 90.

x - 30 + x = 90

2x - 30 = 90

2x - 30 + 30 = 90 + 30

2x = 120

2x/2 = 120/2

x = 60°

Here, the angles and (x - 30)° both are complementary angles, so they will add upto 90°, thus we can obtain a equation as ;

[tex]{:\implies \quad \sf x^{\circ}+(x-30)^{\circ}=90^{\circ}}[/tex]

[tex]{:\implies \quad \sf 2x^{\circ}-30^{\circ}=90^{\circ}}[/tex]

[tex]{:\implies \quad \sf 2x^{\circ}=120^{\circ}}[/tex]

[tex]{:\implies \quad \sf x^{\circ}=\dfrac{120^{\circ}}{2}=\bf \boxed{60^{\circ}}}[/tex]

Hence, the required value of x is 60

Find the 10th term of the following geometric sequence 6,24,96,384,…

Answers

Answer:

1572864

Step-by-step explanation:

the nth term of a geoemtric series can be calculated using the following rule : [tex]a_n=a_1(r)^n^-^1[/tex]

where an = nth term, a1 = first term , r = common ratio and n = term position.

here, the first term is 6, the common ratio is 4 and the term position is 10 ( because we want to find the 10th term )

so a1 = 6 , r = 4 and n = 10

using these values we plug them into the rule

recall rule : [tex]a_n=a_1(r)^n^-^1[/tex]

==> plug in a1 = 6 , r = 4 and n - 10

[tex]a_1_0=6(4)^1^0^-^1[/tex]

==> subtract 10 and 1

[tex]a_1_0=6(4)^9[/tex]

==> simplify exponent

[tex]a_1_0=6(262144)[/tex]

==> simplify multiplication

[tex]a_1_0=1572864[/tex]

and we are done!

Note:

the common ration was found by dividing the first term by the next term

#C

y=20+45=65

65 lies between 60 and 70 ,most approximately equal .

Option C is correct

Answer:

C [tex]y=10x+45[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Line of best fit (trendline) : a line through a scatter plot of data points that best expresses the relationship between those points.

All the given options for the line of best fit are linear equations.

Therefore, we can add the line of best fit to the graph (see attached), remembering to have roughly the same number of points above and below the line.

Linear equation:  [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

(where [tex]m[/tex] is the slope and [tex]b[/tex] is the y-intercept)

From inspection of the line of best fit, we can see that the y-intercept (where x = 0) is approximately 45.  So this suggests that option C is the solution.

We can also see that the line of best fit appears to be the same distance from points (3, 75) and (4, 85).  So we can use the slope formula with these points to give a rough estimate of the slope of the line of best fit:

[tex]\sf{slope=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}=\dfrac{85-75}{4-3}=10[/tex]

Therefore, this concurs that C is the solution and that the closet approximation to the line of best fit is [tex]y=10x+45[/tex]

Math tangent of a circle Also sorry my sister got a hold of it
ASAP!!!

Answers

Imagine we drew a line from the centre (2,0) to the point (0,4).

Essentially the line we drew from the centre to that point on the circle is perpendicular to the tangent line slope-wise.

The slope of that line from the centre to the point is -2 based on the slope's equation or formula.

  slope = [tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}=\frac{4-0}{0-2} =-2[/tex]

Therefore the tangent equation's slope is 1/2 since any perpendicular line's slope is the negative reciprocal of the original line's slope.

By using the point-slope form, we must have the point on the tangent plane (0,4) and the slope we found which is 1/2.

In ΔVWX, x = 110 inches, v = 700 inches and ∠W=9°. Find ∠X, to the nearest degree.

Answers

The value of ∠X in triangle VWX ( ΔVWX) to the nearest degree is 2 degrees.

The angle X can be found using the cosine rule.

Cosine rule

w² = x² + v² - 2xv cos W

w² = 110² + 700² - 2 × 110 × 700 cos 9°

w² = 12100 + 490000 - 154000 cos 9°

w² = 502100 - 154000 × 0.98768834059

w² = 502100 - 152104.004452

w = √349995.995548

w = 591.604593921

w = 591.60 inches

Using sine rule, let's find ∠X

Sine rule

110 / sin X = 591.60 / sin 9°

Therefore,

110 sin 9 = 591.60 sin X

sin X = 110 sin 9 / 591.60

sin X = 110 × 0.15643446504 / 591.60

sin X = 17.2077911544 / 591.60

X= sin⁻¹ 0.02908686807

∠X = 1.66678986656

∠X = 2 degrees

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential function is

[tex]y = a \times {b}^{x} [/tex]

where a is the y intercept, or the initial value.

b is the constant rate.

Since a is the y intercept, this means a is 8. So we have

[tex]y = 8 \times {b}^{x} [/tex]

Now, plug in 9 for x. 512 for y to find b.

[tex]512 = 8 \times {b}^{9} [/tex]

[tex]64 = {b}^{9} [/tex]

[tex] \sqrt[9]{64} = b[/tex]

[tex]64 {}^{ \frac{1}{9} } = b[/tex]

parts of an algebraic expression separated by plus or minus signs are

Answers

Answer:  called tthe term of an algebraic expression.

Step-by-step explanation: We know an algebraic expression is a collection or combination of constant and variables of one or more terms, which are separated by the fundamental operations (+, –, × and ÷).Some of the examples of algebraic expression are 7b + 5m, 5x + 3y + 10, 5x/y + 3, x + y + z, etc.Terms of an algebraic expression:Each part of an algebraic expression which are separated by plus sign (+) or minus sign (-) is called the term of an algebraic expression. It’s important to remember that the division sign (÷) or multiplication sign (×) does not separate the terms of an algebraic expression.

Examples of algebraic expressions and their terms:

(i)  x + 10

We observe that the number of terms used in the expression x + 10 is 2. The terms are x and 10.

(ii)  5m + 2n - 7

We observe that the number of terms used in the expression 5m + 2n – 7 is 3. The terms are 5m, 2n and 7.

(iii)  3a/b

We observe that the number of term used in the expression 3a/b is 1. The term is 3a/b.

(iv) 3xy + 7xz + 2yz - 6

We observe that the number of terms used in the expression 3xy + 7xz + 2yz - 6 is 4. The terms are 3xy, 7xz, 2yz and 6.

)  2abc + 1

We observe that the number of terms used in the expression 2abc + 1 is 2. The terms are 2abc and 1.

Therefore, the algebraic expressions are either simple or compound.

(i) Simple algebraic expressions consist of one term.

(ii) Compound algebraic expressions consist of two or more terms.

Determine whether or not the equation below is balanced. If it isn’t balanced, write the balanced form. Also, identify the reactant(s) and product(s) in this equation. Finally, label this as one of the five types of reactions: combination, decomposition, substitution, double replacement, or reversible.

Zn+ HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

Answers

Answer:

1. The equation isn't balanced because there aren't equal numbers of hydrogen or chlorine atoms on both sides of the equation. To correct this, a coefficient of 2 must be placed in front of HCl on the left-hand side of the equation.

Zn+2HCl→ZnCl2+H2

Zn and 2HCl are the reactants; ZnCl2 and H2 are the products. This is a substitution reaction because a free element (Zn) replaces another element (H) in a compound.

2. This is a balanced equation because the same types of atoms and the same numbers of each atom are present on both sides of the equation. 8 S atoms are found on both sides of the equation, and 48 F atoms are found on both sides of the equation. S8 and 24F2 are the reactants; 8SF6 is the product. This is a combination reaction because two substances (S8 and 24F2) undergo a chemical union to form a more complex substance (8SF6).

S8+24F2→8SF6

3. In ferric oxide (Fe3O4), there are 3 atoms of iron (Fe) and 4 atoms of oxygen (O). From the Periodic Table of Elements, we know that the atomic mass of iron is 55.8457 and the atomic mass of oxygen is 15.9994.

Fe3 = 55.8457 × 3 = 167.5371

O4 = 15.9994 × 4 = 63.9976

167.5371 + 63.9976 = 231.5347 (231.535 rounded)

Therefore, the molecular mass of ferric oxide is 231.535.

4. The percentage composition of chlorine in CaCl2 is derived as follows:

The molecular mass of the entire compound is:

Ca = 40.078 × 1 = 40.078

Cl2 = 35.4527 × 2 = 70.9054

40.078 + 70.9054 = 110.9834 (110.983 rounded)

The atomic mass of each element (or its multiple) is divided by the molecular mass of the compound:

Ca = 40.078 ÷ 110.983 = 0.361

Cl2 = 70.9054 ÷ 110.983 = 0.639

Multiplying each by 100 will turn these into percents. Therefore, the percentage composition of chlorine is 63.9%.

Step-by-step explanation:

PENN FOSTER

The given chemical equation represents a type of reaction known as a single replacement (or displacement) reaction. In this reaction, zinc (Zn) displaces hydrogen (H) from hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form zinc chloride ([tex]ZnCl_2[/tex]) and hydrogen gas ([tex]H_2[/tex]).

The given chemical equation is:

[tex]Zn + HCl \rightarrow ZnCl_2 + H_2[/tex]

To determine if the equation is balanced, we need to check if the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.

On the left side (reactant side):

Zinc (Zn) atoms: 1

Hydrogen (H) atoms: 1

Chlorine (Cl) atoms: 1

On the right side (product side):

Zinc (Zn) atoms: 1

Hydrogen (H) atoms: 2 (from[tex]ZnCl_2 + H_2[/tex])

Chlorine (Cl) atoms: 2 (from [tex]ZnCl_2[/tex])

The number of hydrogen (H) and chlorine (Cl) atoms is not balanced between the reactants and products. To balance the equation, we need to have the same number of atoms on both sides.

Balanced equation:

[tex]Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl_2 + H_2[/tex]

Now, the equation is balanced with the following number of atoms on both sides:

On the left side (reactant side):

Zinc (Zn) atoms: 1

Hydrogen (H) atoms: 2

Chlorine (Cl) atoms: 2 (2 from HCl)

On the right side (product side):

Zinc (Zn) atoms: 1

Hydrogen (H) atoms: 2 (from H2)

Chlorine (Cl) atoms: 2 (from ZnCl2)

E Describe and correct the error in using the percent proportion to answer the question below 6 is 6.25% of what number GET 100Pt Would you go to the ends of the earth to see a bird? What if it were a really special bird: one with beautiful feathers, an entrancing call, or a silly dance? What if seeing that one special bird would allow you to win a contest?If that contest doesn't get you on television or win you any cash prizes, would you still do it? For those who participate in the "Big Year," the honor of beating the previous record is the only reward they get or even want.A "Big Year" is a year in which a person attempts to see as many different species of birds as possible within a particular region. For most in North America who participate in a "Big Year," this region is the lower 48 American states, plus Alaska, Canada, and a couple of French islands off the Canadian coast.You may be thinking that looking at birds is silly, but just think about the numbers of the recent record holders and the commitment it takes to get these numbers. One recent "Big Year" winner managed to see 744 birds in one year, missing the record by just one bird. Big Year birders travel by train, plane, boat, car, bicycle, and of course, by foot. They can cover over 150 thousand miles to get numbers of sightings this high. They can also spend a small fortune.Just to clarify, the birds these contestants are counting are the number that they see in a particular year. You see, the contest is based on an honor system. No pictures or other evidence is required as proof of a sighting. Most birders take great pride in their reputation and their abilities to see or hear and then identify a bird. Usually, important sightings of the rare birds needed to get counts in the 700s are visited by hundreds of birders. It is pretty hard to cheat your way to a record-breaking year, but in general, few are interested in cheating.This honesty comes from the fact that most people who want to break such a record know the greatest rewards are not necessarily in winning. Such rewards are in being able to commit a year of your life to doing something you love. Rewards are found in seeing amazing, inspiring creatures like the California Condor or the Magnificent Frigate bird. Rewards also come in spending time with people who, like you, want to spend their time looking to the skies and trees for glimpses of emerald, crimson, or cerulean blue feathered jewels.You don't have to be able to travel a continent to have a big birding experience though. Have a big month. Or a big weekend. Set a personal record, learn to identify the species that live in your part of the world, or try to learn the calls of just two species of birds. You will soon find looking at birds isn't such a strange way to spend your time.Extra! Extra! Backyard BirdingMany schools, families, and young birders across the country participate in the "Great Backyard Bird Count." While not as long as a "Big Year," the "Great Backyard Bird Count" happens every year. It depends on birders and families across the country to watch feeders and other areas in their yards and count the number of birds they see. Unlike the "Big Year," the goal is not to see who can count the most birds. Instead, participants in this event work together to help bird experts get a good idea of how birds are doing. Participants are given checklists and enter their sightings on a website. Called a "citizen-science" project, this event is open to anyone, requires no travel, and happens every year over one weekend in February.Part A:What is the main idea of the Extra!

Candy Crush. Farmville. Angry Birds. Cut the Rope. Fruit Ninja. Words with Friends.Nearly everyone with a smartphone or tablet has played one of these video games. It is easy to get swept up in the bright colors, cutesy charactersand the satisfaction you feel when you finally complete a difficult level. So, you keep playing, and playing, and playing. Many people say games like these are addictive. But are they, really?Maybe. Addiction Science Award Winner Ethan Guinn definitely thought so. Dopamine: Sweet Rewards for the BrainRewards in video games, such as points or bonuses, are surprising and often unpredictable. Figuring out that special move or combination that helps you conquer each level feels great. Not knowing when you will get that reward keeps you engaged.These periodic bursts of pleasure are the work of dopamine. Dopamine is the chemical in your brain that causes you to feel happy, and it is what gets you hooked on lots of things in life.Your brain is designed to release dopamine in response to things that are good for youlike spending time with your friends, eating healthy food, or exercising. Dopamine bursts also reward you when you apply your cleverness to solving real-world problems.But people have figured out all kinds of ways to tap into the brains reward system with things that arent so good for you. Drugs and junk food are obvious, harmful examples. Video games might not kill you or make you overweight (at least not directly), but many people feel they are hooked on them. So, Is Gaming Really an Addiction?Scientists say that more research is needed before they can tell whether being hooked on a video game is actually an addiction.Addiction is more complicated than just wanting to feel good. People who are addicted to drugs often just want to feel normal or not bad. It is also more than just the compulsive need to keep using a drug or engaging in a behavior. Addiction means being unable to quit, even in the face of negative consequences.A person with a drug addiction wants to use drugs even when their grades have tanked, they have lost their job, and they no longer care about the things that were once important to them. When they are not using drugs, they feel withdrawal symptoms that make them sick. Scientists are not sure video games can cause the same effects.Butif you play a game so much that you dont participate in lifes normal activitiesyou dont sleep or eat or hang out with friends or do the things you used to loveyou are heading down a dangerous path. If that describes you, maybe you should try not playing the game for a day or two, or even a week. Ask people that you trust if they think you have a problem. And, if you find that you just cant stopeven if video gaming addiction isnt officially a diseaseyou can absolutely get help by talking to your parents or a guidance counselor at school.How does the author use structure in the Dopamine: Sweet Rewards for the Brain section to impact the meaning of the passage?A.
