The cost of a pair of pants was reduced from $50 to $40. By what percent did the cost of the pair of pants decrease? 2% 10% 20% 40%

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

50*2=100

40*2=80

100-80=20

Answer 2

A percentage is a number or ratio that represents a fraction of 100. 

The percentage decrease in the cost of the pair of pants is 20%.

What is a percentage?

A percentage is a number or ratio that represents a fraction of 100. 

Example:

50% = 50/100 = 1/2

10% = 10/100 = 1/10

25% = 25/100 = 1/4

20% = 20/100 = 1/5

We have,

The initial cost of pair of pants = $50

The final cost of pair of pants after reduced = $40

The percentage decrease in the cost of pair of pants:

= [( Initial cost - Final cost ) / Initial cost] x 100

= [(50 - 40) / 50] x 100

= (10/50) x 100

= 20%

Thus,

The percentage decrease in the cost of the pair of pants is 20%.

Caffenine takes a certain amount of time to leave your system if you drink 3 cups of coffe in the morning the function that represents the amount of caffeine remaining in your body after drinking the coffe is given by g(t)=130(.8346)^t where t is the timein hours. how much caffeine remains in your body after 1 day. how much caffeine remains in your body after 2 days

Answers

Answer:

In 1 day, 1.70

In two days 0.022

Note; Unit was not given in the question, I would have included it

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are to calculate the amount of caffeine remaining in the body.

To calculate this, we simply substitute for the number of hours t in the equation.

In one day , we have 24 hours

So our substitution will be t = 24

Hence; for a day;

g(24) = 130(0.8346)^24 = 1.70

For two days, we have t = 48 hours

Thus; g(48) = 130(0.8346)^48 = 0.022

A retiree has $200,000 to invest and needs to make $13,000 with her investments. If she can invest in government bonds at 6% or investment grade bonds at 8%, how much should she invest in each?

Answers

Answer:

She should invest 150,000 in government bonds and 50,000 in investment grade bonds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount invested in government bonds be $y while the amount invested in investment bond be $x

Since total is $200,000

Then:

x + y = 200,000 ••••••(i)

Since 13,000 is what is expected to be earned, then this is like the interest.

thus;

6% of x + 8% of y = 13,000

6x/100 + 8y/100 = 13,000

Multiply through by 100

6x + 8y = 1300000 •••••••(ii)

From i, x = 200,000 - y

insert this into ii

6(200,000-y) + 8y = 1300000

1200000-6y + 8y = 1300000

2y = 1300000-1200000

2y = 100,000

y = 100,000/2

y = 50,000

but x + y = 200,000

thus, x = 200,000 - 50,000

x = 150,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Steve is first in the ratio if the ratio of guitars is 4:3.

What is Ratio?

The ratio is defined as a relationship between two quantities, it is expressed as one divided by the other. A set of data points can be used to observe the constant relationship. A set of data with a constant relationship between two values is a comparison of miles traveled to hours traveled. A special type of ratio is the comparison of two different quantities.

The general form of expressing a ratio between two quantities say 'a' and 'b' is a: b

Jenny has 3 guitars. Steve has 4 guitars.

The ratio is 4:3, which represents 4/3 or 4 parts Steve to 3 parts Jenny.

Hence, Steve is first in the ratio.

You deposited $100 in a savings account 3 years ago. The simple interest rate is 2.3%. How
much money is in the account after 3 years?

Answers

Answer:

Final Balance = 106.90$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the simple interest formula I = prt.

The current balance after accumulated interest is B = I + p.

Given a principle of $100, time of 3 years, and interest rate of 2.3%.

I = (100$)(3y)(2.3%) = (100)(3)(2.3%) = (300)(2.3%) = (300)(0.023) = 6.90$

B (final balance) = 6.90$ + 100$ = 106.90$

Need to know NOW

Answers

Answer:

y = 12

x = 10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -3.6x + 12

From this equation, which is in slope intercept form (y = mx+b), we already know that b represents the y-intercept, so that means the y-intercept is 12.

To find the x-intercept, we need to make y equal 0 to find x. So:

0 = -3.6x + 12

-3.6x = -12

x = 3.33333 --> 3 1/3

x = 10/3

Answer:
x-intercept: 10/3
y-intercept: 12

Steps:
Finding x
y=-3.6x+12
0= -3.6x+12
3.6x=12
x=10/3

Finding y
y=-3.6x+12
y=-3.6(0)+12
y=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

2x - 3x = 33       Equation

Step 2:

- x = 33      Subtract

Answer:

x = - 33

Hope This Helps :)

The solution to the equation 2x - 3x = 33 is x = -33.

To solve the equation 2x - 3x = 33, we need to combine like terms on the left side of the equation and then solve for x.

Combine like terms:

2x - 3x = -x

Rewrite the equation with the combined terms:

-x = 33

To isolate x, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by -1:

(-1)(-x) = (-1)(33)

This simplifies to:

x = -33

Therefore, the solution to the equation 2x - 3x = 33 is x = -33.

Hey :)

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x−10
3x−30=5(2x+8)

Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 2x+8
3x−30=10x+40

Subtract 10x from both sides
3x−30−10x=40

Combine 3x and −10x to get −7x.
−7x−30=40

Add 30 to both sides
−7x=40+30

Add 40 and 30 to get 70
−7x=70

Divide both sides by −7
x= 70/-7


Divide 70 by −7 to get −10
