The original price is 100% of the price. If the price is marked 60% off, then you pay 40% of the original price.

An item costs x dollars.

With the 60% off discount, it now costs 40% of x, or 0.4x.

Now you apply a 30% discount.

For the second discount, consider the price 0.4x to be the new original price. If the price is now discounted 30%, you will pay 70% of the new original price.

Start with 0.4x.

Now calculate 70% of 0.4x.

70% of 0.4x = 0.70 * 0.4x = 0.28x

After applying the 60% discount and the 30% discount, the item that originally cost x now costs 0.28x. 0.28x is the same as 28% of x. The amount you pay is 28% of the original price.

Answer: 28%

Answer: B
Look at the line where it says 935 54
Leslie goes to the salon and pays $30
$935.54 - $30 = $905.54

However, the line after the $30 says $900.59, which is incorrect.

Hope this helps!

The general form of the equation of a circle is 7x2 + 7y2 − 28x + 42y − 35 = 0. The equation of this circle in standard form is
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The standard form of a circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2 with (h,k) being the center of the circle and r being the radius. In this case the circle's equation in standard form is (x-2)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 18. Knowing this it's easy to see that the center of the circle (h,k) is (2,-3). Finally the radius is \sqrt{18} or in simplified terms, 3\sqrt{2}

Ella completed the following work to test the equivalence of two expressions.
MrRa [10]
Answer:

The expressions are not equivalent because Ella did not know that you can’t use substitution to test for equivalence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equivalent algebraic expressions are those expressions which on simplification give the same resulting expression.

Two algebraic expressions are said to be equivalent if their values obtained by substituting any values of the variables are same.

Two expressions 3f+2.6 and 2f+2.6 are not equivalent, because when f=1,

3f + 2.6 = 3.1 + 2.6 = 3 + 2.6 = 5.6

2f + 2.6 = 2.1 + 2.6 = 2 + 2.6 = 4.6

5.6 = 4.6

Method of substitution can only help her to decide the expresssions are not equivalent, but if she wants to prove the expressions are equivalent, she must prove it for all values of f.

3f + 2.6 = 2f + 2.6

3f = 2f

3f - 2f = 0

f = 0

This is true only when f=0.

Hence,

The expressions are not equivalent because Ella did not know that you can’t use substitution to test for equivalence.
