As a smart consumer, you are always on the lookout for sales, coupons, and rebates. While shopping for new clothes, you notice t

hat one particular brand of shirts is on sale for 20% off the original price. You also have a coupon for $10 off a $40 purchase. Coupons are applied after the 20% discount is taken. If each shirt originally costs $17.99, how many shirts would you need to buy to be able to use your coupon? Show your work
You’d have to buy 3 shirts, with the 20% off the shirts would come out to $14.39. So $14.39 x 3 = $43.17. Now with the $10 off a $40 purchase your total cost would be $33.17.

Answer:

You'd have to buy 3 shirts in order to use your coupon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each shirt originally costs $17.99

One particular brand of shirts is on sale for 20% off the original price.

$17.99*0.2= $3.60 (amount taken off for each shirt)

Now subtract $3.60 from $17.99.

$17.99 - $3.60 = $14.39 (per shirt)

40 / 14.39 = 2.779 (round to 3)

You'd have to buy 3 shirts in order to use your coupon.

$14.39 * 3 = $43.17, in order to get $10 off you'd need to spend at least $40

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y=-7/4x-2 through the point (4,2)! Help please
Sladkaya [172]

as you already know, the equation y=-7/4x-2, is already in slope-intercept form and thus its slope is the coefficient of the "x", namely -7/4.

parallel lines have the same exact slope, so a parallel line to this one will also have a slope of -7/4, and it passes through 4,2,

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})\qquad \qquad \qquad  slope =  m\implies -\cfrac{7}{4} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-2=-\cfrac{7}{4}(x-4) \\\\\\ y-2=-\cfrac{7}{4}x+7\implies y=-\cfrac{7}{4}x+9

grandymaker [24]
It would be “Allen” since his percentage is far more grater then the rest, even Roneisha because even though her percentage is 1% greater, she has less pages, Ben has more pages but has 1% less.


Basically it’s like 2 bikers racing, 1 biker is faster but can’t go 5 miles, but the other is not that fast but can go 5+ miles.

Now who can go further, it would be the slow one.

Perry, maria, and lorna are painting rooms in a college dormitory. working alone, perry can paint a standard room in 3 hours, ma
Leviafan [203]

Answer:Perry and Lorna take the maximum time and Maria and Lorna take the minimum time when they work together.

Explanation: Since, according to the question- Perry takes time when he works alone = 3 hours

Similarly, Maria takes = 2 hours, While Lorna takes= 2 hours 30 minutes or 2.5 hours.

since, there are three people thus their are three possibility to choose any two of them.

1- when Perry and Maria work together then time taken by them is \frac{1}{1/2+1/3}=\frac{1}{5/6}= 6/5= 1 hour 12 minutes.

2- when Maria and Lorna work together then time taken by them is \frac{1}{1/2 + 1/2.5}= 10/9= 1 hours 1/9 minutes ≈ 1 hours 7 min

3- when Perry and Lorna work together then time taken= \frac{1}{1/3+1/2.5}= 15/11= 1 hour 4/11 minutes≈ 1 hours 21 minutes

From the above explanation, it has been proved that when we talk about 2 members team then Perry and Lorna take the maximum time. While Maria and Lorna take the minimum time when they work together.
