Price=15000
discount=300
%discount=(300/15000)*100
%discount=2%

She got a 20% discount (or 80% discount). (Work shown for 80%).
First you have to find out how much Mandy paid. So from 15000 you will subtract 3000. 15000-3000=12000.
Next you need to set up your equation. $\frac{1200}{15000}= \frac{x}{100}$ . You then have to cross multiply. So 100 times 12000, 100*12000=1200000. And 15000 times x is 15000x. Finally you divide both sides by 15000. And 1200000 divided by 15000 is 80. X=80

Consider this polynomial, where a is an unknown real number.

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct steps to find the value of 'a' should be,

Braulio's synthetic division should be,

-1 | 1 5 a -3 11

1 4 (a - 4) (1 - a) (a + 10)

Here remainder is (a + 10).

So (a + 10) = 17 ⇒ a = 7

Braulio Incorrectly found a value of 'a' because he should have used (-1) instead of 1.

Zahra's calculation by remainder theorem should be,

p(x) = x⁴ + 5x³ + ax² - 3x + 11

p(-1) = (-1)⁴ + 5(-1)³ + a(-1)² - 3(-1) + 11

= 1 - 5 + a + 3 + 11

= (a + 10)

Since, remainder of the solution is 17,

(a + 10) = 17 ⇒ a = 7

Zahra incorrectly found the value of 'a' because she incorrectly solved the powers to (-1).

At UF, there are always a few days between the end of classes and the beginning of final exams. These days are meant as a study

Natalija [7]

Answer:

This sample is not representative of all UF students, since those who are not local are not considered.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a common statistics practice, when we want to study something from a population, we find a sample of this population.

However, the sample has to be representative

For example:

I want to estimate the proportion of New York state residents who are Buffalo Bills fans. So i ask, lets say, 1000 randomly selected Buffalo residents wheter they are Buffalo Bills fans, and expand this to the entire population of New York State residents. This is not representative of all New York State residents, just Buffalo residents.

In this problem, we have that:

They conduct a phone survey (with local numbers selected at random from the student directory) calling people during "dead week". Will this sample be representative of all UF students?

They only call those students with local numbers.

However, in an university, it is expected that there will be a good percentage of non local students.

So this sample is not representative of all UF students, since those who are not local are not considered.

The Metro theater has 20 rows of seats with 18 seats in each row Tickets cost $5 The theaters income in dollars if all seats are

Olin [163]

Answer: $1800

The theater income will be the total of audience multiplied by the ticket cost. To answer this question, you need to determine the total audience count. Assuming all the seats are occupied then:
Total audience= row of seats x seats/ row = 20x18 people = 360 people

After that the income would be:
Income = audience x ticket cost
Income= 360 people x $5 / people= $1800

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where x and y are coordinates of an ordered pair, m is the slope of

anzhelika [568]

We have been given that the slope-intercept form of a linear equation is $y = mx+b$ , where x and y are coordinates of an ordered pair, m is the slope of the line, and b is where the line crosses the y-axis. We are asked to solve the equation for slope.
