Answer:

<u>The percentage loss per gallon is 23.17%</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price per gallon = $ 2.59

Discounted price per gallon = $ 1.99

Now, let's calculate the percentage loss per gallon, using the Direct Rule of Three, as follows:

Price      Percentage

2.59           100

1.99               x

*****************************

2.59 * x = 1.99 * 100

2.59x = 199

x = 199/2.59

x = 76.83

Percentage loss = 100 - 76.83

<u>Percentage loss = 23.17%</u>

Expand and simplify (k-3)^7
nikklg [1K]
There are a couple of ways you can solve this. You can write it out like
(K-3)(K-3)(K-3)(K-3)(K-3)(K-3)(K-3)
And pretty much use the foil method
Or you can use the binomial theorem (google it if you dont know)
The solution should be:
(K^7) - 21(k^6) + 189(k^5) - 945(k^4) + 2835(k^3) - 5103(k^2) + 5103k - 2187

Point b has coordinates (3,-4) and lies on the circle whose equation is x^2 + y^2= 25. If angle is drawn in a standard position
lakkis [162]
<span>Point B has coordinates (3,-4) and lies on the circle. Draw the perpendiculars from point B to the x-axis and y-axis. Denote the points of intersection with x-axis A and with y-axis C. Consider the right triangle ABO (O is the origin), by tha conditions data: AB=4 and AO=3, then by Pythagorean theorem:
</span>
<span>BO^2=AO^2+AB^2 \\ BO^2=3^2+4^2  \\ BO^2=9+16  \\ BO^2=25  \\ BO=5.

{Note, that BO is a radius of circle and it wasn't necessarily to use Pythagorean theorem to find BO}
<span>The sine of the angle BOA is</span>
\sin \angle BOA= \dfrac{AB}{BO} = \dfrac{4}{5} =0.8

Since point B is placed in the IV quadrant, the sine of the angle that is <span> drawn in a standard position with its terminal ray will be </span>

renu purchased an air conditioner for rs 40500 including 8% VAT. what was the price before including VAT?
jekas [21]

Answer:

₹ 37500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price before VAT be ₹x.

\therefore \: x + 8 \% \: of \: x = 40500 \\  \therefore \: x +0.08x = 40500 \\  \therefore \: 1.08x  = 40500 \\  \therefore \: x =  \frac{40500}{1.08}  \\ \huge  \red{ \boxed{ \therefore \: x = Rs.  \: 37,500}}

Hence the price before including VAT of air conditioner was ₹ 37,500.

Eight teams of high school students helped clean up trash in the community. Afterwards, they shared 23 pizzas equally. How many
USPshnik [31]
Answer:
each team got 2.875 pizzas

Explanation:
We are given that:
number of teams = 8 teams
number of pizzas = 23 pizzas
Now, these 23 pizzas will be divided equally among the 8 teams.
So, to get the amount that each team will get, all you have to do is divide 23 by 8 and get the result as follows:
amount that each team gets = 23/8 = 2.875 pizzas

Hope this helps :)
