Last season, a pair of jeans cost $42.95. This season, the price of the jeans increased by 25 percent. Later in the season, the jeans were put on sale for 25 percent off. First, guess. What do you think the sale price will be? Why? Then, calculate: How much did the jeans cost at the beginning of this season? What was their sale price? Did you get the sale price you were expecting? Why or why not? Consider what the jeans would cost if they had gone on sale by 25% first, and then had their price increased by 25%. First guess. What do you think the jeans will cost this time? Why? Then, calculate: How much will the jeans cost this time? Did you get the answer you were expecting? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

42.95 first price hiked 25%, then discounted by 25% : Final price = 40.28

42.95 first discounted by 25%, then price hiked by 25% : Final price = 40.27

Both are same (approx) because of same mathematical treatment

Step-by-step explanation:

If Jeans price first hiked price by 25%, then gone on sale by 25%

Last season price = 42.95

This season increase in price = 25% of 42.95 = 10.73

Jeans price at beginning of this season = 53.68

Discount on sale price, this season = 25% of 53.68 = 13.42

Discounted jeans price this season = 53.68 - 13.42 = 40.28

If Jeans price first gone on sale by 25%, then price increased by 25%

Last season price = 42.95

Discount on previous price = 25% of 42.95 = 10.73

Jeans price this season = 42.95 - 10.73 = 32.22

Price hike this season = 25% of 32.22 = 8.05

New jeans price this season = 32.22 + 8.05 = 40.27

The same answer is got in both cases. As, mathematically, they are same. 1st : 75% of (125% of 42.95) & 2nd : 125% of (75% of 42.95)

I NEED HELP ASAP, WILL MARK BRAINLIEST Find the value of y. Round to the nearest tenths place. ​

Answers

Answer:

Side a = 1

Side b = 0.5

Side c = 0.86603 = √3/2

Nearest tenths is 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The following is one way to perform the calculation. It may not be the best way.

Calculates 2 sides based on 3 given angles and 1 side.

b = a·sin(B)/sin(A) = 0.5

c = a·sin(C)/sin(A) = 0.86603 = √3/2

Area =  

ab·sin(C)

2

= 0.21651

Perimeter p = a + b + c = 2.36603

Semiperimeter s =  

a + b +c

2

= 1.18301

Height ha =  

2×Area

a

= 0.43301

Height hb =  

2×Area

b

= 0.86603

Height hc =  

2×Area

c

= 0.5

Median ma = √(a/2)2 + c2 - ac·cos(B) = 0.5

Median mb = √(b/2)2 + a2 - ab·cos(C) = 0.90139

Median mc = √(c/2)2 + b2 - bc·cos(A) = 0.66144

Inradius r =  

Area

s

= 0.18301

Circumradius R =

= 0.5

0.86 is more than 0.85 so the nearest tenths place has to be 0.9

2= 65 vertical angles are congruent ex 115-180

3=29 ex. 90+65-180=29

4= 115 vertical angle congruent

5=65 vertical angles are congruent ex 115-180

6=65 35+80-180=65

7=144

Answer:

∠1 = 35                  ;      ∠2 = 65       ;    3 = 29       ;      ∠4 = 115  

∠5 = 65               ;      6 = 36       ;   ∠7 = 144

Step-by-step explanation:

∠4 = 115                              {Vertically opposite angles}

∠5 + 115 = 180                  {linear pair}

         ∠5 = 180 - 115

        ∠5 = 65

∠2 = ∠5         {Vertically opposite angles}

∠2 = 65

∠1 + 80 +∠2 = 180   {Angle sum property of triangle}

∠1 + 80 + 65=180

       ∠1 + 145 = 180

               ∠1 = 180 - 145

∠1 = 35

∠5 + ∠7 + 90 + 61 = 360   {angle sum property of quadrilateral}

65 + ∠ 7 + 90 + 61 = 360

          ∠7 + 216      = 360

                    ∠7      = 360 - 216

                       ∠7 = 144

∠6 + ∠ 7 = 180   {linear pair}

∠6 + 144 = 180

          ∠6 = 180 - 144

          ∠6 = 36

∠3 + ∠4 +∠ 6 = 180        {angle sum property of triangle}

∠3 + 115 + 36 = 180

      ∠3 + 151  = 180

               ∠3 = 180 - 151

               ∠3 = 29

Answers

Answer:

Option C and Option D have exactly one solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation will have exactly one solution when it completely solves and we get value of x.

Checking all choices

(Choice A)

-19x + 18 = -19x + 18

-19x+19x=18-18

0=0

(infinite solutions)

(Choice B)

-19x -18 = -19x + 18

-19x+19x=18+18

0≠36

(no solution)

(Choice C)

19x + 18 = -19x + 18

19x+19x=18-18

38x=0

x=0

(One solution)

(Choice D)

19x - 18 = -19x + 18

19x+19x=18+18

38x=36

x=36/38

x=18/19

(One solution)

Stabilizing selection is occurring because the average is favored.
Disruptive selection is occurring because the two extremes are favored.
Biodiversity variation is occurring because there is an increase in trait variation.

Answers

Stabilizing selection is occurring because the average is favored.

If its the same graph im thinking of.

The correct statement is a valid claim that could be made using the data in the graph is,

B) Stabilizing selection is occurring because the average is favored.

What is an expression?

Mathematical expression is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Now, On this graph we can observe the workings of the stabilizing selection.

Since, Stabilizing selection tends to favor the average phenotype and eliminate the extremes.

Essentially, this means that the natural selection is selecting the mean value of a trait as optimal.

Hence, In our case, the mean weight of newborns is selected as optimal, because newborns born with less weight can be too weak to survive and the ones that have too much weight (are too big) can hurt the mother during birth.

Thus, The correct statement is a valid claim that could be made using the data in the graph is,

B) Stabilizing selection is occurring because the average is favored.

You are at a parade looking up at a large balloon floating directly above the street. You are 60 feet from a point on the street directly beneath the baloon. To see the top of the baloon, you look up at an angle of 53°. To see the bottom of the ballon you look up at an an angle of 29°. Estiamte the height, h, of the balloon to the nearest foot. Answer with only the numeric value

Answers

Answer:

The height of the balloon is 46 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height from the ground to the top of the balloon be represented by x. Applying the appropriate trigonometric function, we have;

Looking at the top of the balloon,

Tan θ = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]

Tan 53° = [tex]\frac{x}{60}[/tex]

x = 60 x Tan 53°

  = 79.6227

x = 79.62 feet

Looking at the bottom of the balloon, let the height from the ground to the bottom of the balloon be represented by y.

Tan θ = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]

Tan 29° = [tex]\frac{y}{60}[/tex]

y = 60 x Tan 29°

  = 33.2585

y = 33.26 feet

The height of the balloon = x - y

                                           = 79.6227 - 33.2585

                                           = 46.3642

The height of the balloon is 46 feet.
