A department store sells logo shirts at an original price of $20. Every month that a shirt doesn’t sell, the store reduces the s

elling price by 25%. Store employees get a 50% discount off the current price. Macy works at the store and sees the shirts going into the second markdown month. What will the pre-tax price of the shirt be for Macy?

Given:
Original price = 20
reduces selling price by 25% every month it's not sold.

First markdown month:
20 * (100%-25%) = 20 * 75% = 15

Second markdown month
15 * 75% = 11.25

Macy, employee gets a 50% discount off the current price.
11.25 * 50% = 5.625
11.25 - 5.625 = 5.625 or 5.63

The pre-tax price of the shirt for Macy will be $5.63

Which equation represents the graphed function?

Alika [10]

Answer:

y = -1/3x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (2-3)/(3-0)

-1/3

Then we know the y intercept( where it crosses the y axis)

It crosses at y=3

The slope intercept form is

y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -1/3x +3

Emery looks out their apartment window to the building across the way. The building isknown to be 42 feet tall. The angle of dep

Amanda [17]

Answer:

$x=44.5ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height $h=42ft$

Angle of depression $\theta=27\textdegree$

Angle of Elevation $\alpha=23 \textdegree$

Generally the equation for the vertical distance between Emery's distance x and the bottom of the building is mathematically given by

Since the angle of depression and elevation are given as

27 and 23 respectively

Therefore

Emery's view of the 42 ft building is

$\gamma=23+27$

$\gamma=50 \textdegree$

Therefore Emery's distance x to the base of the building h' is

$h'=\frac{27}{50}*42$

$h'=22.68ft$

Generally the Trigonometric equation for Emery's distance x is mathematically given by

$x=\frac{h'}{tan\theta}$

$x=\frac{22.68}{tan 27}$

$x=44.5ft$

Jennifer has a square bedroom. The area of her room is 144 ft2. What is the length of one side of Jennifer’s room?

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Option B. $12\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a square is equal to

$A=x^{2}$

where

x is the length side of the square

In this problem we have

$A=144\ ft^{2}$

substitute and solve for x

$144=x^{2}$

suqre root both sides

$x=12\ ft$

Answer:

The value is $P(A) = 0.133617$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mean is $\mu = 7.5$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = 0.2$

The safest water level is between 7.2 and 7.8

Generally the probability that the selected pool has a pH level that is not considered safe is mathematically represented as

$P(A) = 1 - P(7.2 \le X \le 7.8 )$

Here

$P(7.2 < X < 7.8 ) = P(\frac{ 7.2 - \mu }{\sigma } < \frac{X - \mu }{ \sigma }$

Generally $\frac{X - \mu }{ \sigma } = Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of X )$

So

$P(7.2 < X < 7.8 ) = P(\frac{ 7.2 - 7.5 }{0.2 } < Z$

$P(7.2 < X < 7.8 ) = P(-1.5 < Z$

=> $P(7.2 < X < 7.8 ) = P(Z < 1.5) - P( Z < - 1.5)$

From the z-table the probability of (Z < -1.5) and ( Z <1.5) are

$P(Z < 1.5) = 0.93319$

and

$P(Z < -1.5) = 0.066807$

So

$P(7.2 < X < 7.8 ) =0.93319 - 0.066807$

$P(7.2 < X < 7.8 ) =0.0866383$

So

$P(A) = 1 - 0.0866383$

=> $P(A) = 0.133617$
