Offer 1
33−33×0.4
=19.8
19.8−19.8×0.25
=14.85

Offer 2..the best
34−34×0.55
=15.3
15.3−15.3×0.05
=14.535

By How much cheaper

<h2>Answer:</h2>
  • Pet store 2 is offering the better price.
  • The price by which it is cheap is: $ 0.315
<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

<u>Pet Store--1</u>

They are  offering the flea treatment for 40 percent off plus an additional 25 percent off their regular price of $33.

This means that the cost of treatment after a off of 40% is:

33-0.40×33=$ 19.8

Now after a additional discount of 25% , a person has to pay (100-25)%=75% of the above discounted price.

i.e. 0.75 of 19.8

= 0.75×19.8

= $ 14.85

Hence, the total cost of treatment in store -1 is: $ 14.85

<u>Pet Store--2</u>

They are offering the same flea treatment for 55 percent off plus an additional 5 percent off their regular price of $34.

This means that the cost of treatment after a off of 55% is:

34-0.55×34=$ 15.3

Now after a additional discount of 5% , a person has to pay (100-5)%=95% of the above discounted price.

i.e. 0.95 of 15.3

= 0.95×15.3

= $ 14.535

Hence, the total cost of treatment in store -1 is: $ 14.535

Hence, the location which is offering the better price is: Pet Store-2

The amount by which it is cheaper than store 1 is:

= 14.85-14.535

= $ 0.315

Jada solved the equation Negative StartFraction 4 over 9 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 108 EndFraction for x using the step
Lilit [14]

Answer: First option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete exercise is attached.

In order to solve this exercise, it is necessary to remember the following property:

The Multiplication property of Equality states that:

If\ a=b\ then\ a*c=b*c

In this case, the equation that Jada had is the folllowing:

-\frac{4}{9}=\frac{x}{108}

Jada needed to solve for the variable "x" in order to find its value.

The correct procedure to solve for for "x" is to multiply both sides of the equation by 108. Then, you get:

(108)(-\frac{4}{9})=(\frac{x}{108})(108)\\\\-48=x

As you can notice in the picture, Jada did not multiply both sides of the equation by 108, but multiplied the left side by -\frac{4}{9}<em>  </em>and the right side by -\frac{9}{4}.

Therefore,you can conclude that Jada should have multiplied both sides of the equation by 108.

Use the following compound interest formula to complete the problem.
alexdok [17]

Card P's balance increased by $3.43 more than Card Q's balance. The accumulated total on Card P over the 4 years is $1080.70 and the accumulated total of Card Q is $1,206.28. Based on the principal outlay however, Card P would have netted a higher interest over Card Q when the principal is subtracted from the accumulated value. (For eg. Card P accumulated value $1080.70 less Principal $726.19 equals $354.51).The interests over the 4 years period would be $354.51 and $351.08 respectively, hence Card P having an increase in balance of $3.43 over Card Q.

A pail contained 3.68L of water more than a bottle. After Bill poured away 1.2L of water from the pail, the pail contained 3 tim
julsineya [31]
For the sake of simplicity, let us say that the bottle contains x liters of water.

The pail originally contained x+3.68 L of water
After pouring out 1.2L, the pail contains x+(3.68-1.2)L or x+2.48 L
<span>
(a) How much more water did the pail contain than the bottle in the end?
Since the bottle contains x L of water, the pail (containing x+2.48 L of water) contains (x+2.48) - x more liters of water than the bottle or "the pail contained 2.48 L of water more than the bottle"

</span><span>(b) How much water did the bottle contain?
</span>We are told that after pouring the 1.2L of water out, the pail contained 3 times as much water as the pail. Therefore, 3x = x+2.48. Subtracting x from both sides gives us 2x = 2.48. Dividing both sides by 2 gives us x = 1.24L

The first-, second-, and third-year enrollment values for a technical school are shown in the table below.
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The solution to f(x) = t(x) is x = 2010

Option 3 is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first-year , second-year , and third-year enrollment values for a technical school are shown in the table below.

Year (x)      First Year f(x)      Second Year s(x)       Third Year t(x)

 2009              785                        756                           756

 2010               740                        785                           740

 2011                690                        710                            781

 2012               732                        732                            710

 2013                781                        755                            800

Now we will check each option.

Option 1: The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 2,009

In year 2009, f(x)=s(x)

But 785≠756

Thus, False

Option 2: The solution to f(x) = s(x) is x = 785

x represents year, but 785 it no year

Thus, False

Option 3: The solution to f(x) = t(x) is x = 2010

In year 2010, f(x)=t(x)=740

But 740=740

Thus, True

Option 4: The solution to f(x) = t(x) is x =740

x represents year, but 740 it no year

Thus, False
