Answer: $45.90

No Jeremy can not find the cost of the sneakers by adding the percents, you have to the math one sale discount at a time.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to multiply $60 by 15%, getting $9. Subtract 9 from 60 and get the first discount price: $51. Then you will multiply 51 by `10% and get 5.1, subtract 5.1 from 51 and get your final sale price $45.90. If you added the percents together you would get an incorrect value of $45.

The goals against average (A) for a professional hockey goalie is determined using the formula A=60(g/2). In the formula, g repr
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

g = At/60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A = 60(g/t)  

60(g/2) is a mistake in the question which the question                                        has corrected in the comments)

A is the average for a professional hockey goalie.

g is the number of goals scored against the goalie.

t represents the time played in minutes.

Finding 'g':

A = 60(g/t)

can be written as A = (60*g)/t

Multiplying by 't' on both sides:

At = (60*g)*t/t

At = 60*g

Dividing by '60' on both sides:

At/60 = 60*g/60

At/60 = g

⇒ g = At/60

x+y+z=155

y=9x

z=3y

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of cars rented during one month

y ----> the number of vans rented during one month

z ----> the number of trucks rented during one month

we know that

x+y+z=155 ----> equation A

y=9x ---> equation B

z=3y ----> equation C

Which statements are true about the graph of y < Two-thirdsx + 1? Check all that apply. The slope of the line is 1. The line
Marina CMI [18]

The answer would be:

The x-intercept of the boundary line is (-3/2, 0).

The area below the line is shaded.

The slope of the line should be 2/3. The area below the line shaded because the function using y<.....

Coordinate 2,3 doesn't fulfill the function. 

y < 2/3x + 1

3 < 2/3(2)+1

3< 4/3+1

3< 2.3    ---->false

X intercept is when the y variable is zero. If you put it to the equation

 y = 2/3x + 1

0= 2/3x+1

2/3x= -1

x= -3/2
