last week a certain brand of hand lotion cost $3.00 for a 16-ounce bottle. this week the hand lotion is on sale for $2.40 for a 16-ounce bottle. which is the percent decrease in the price of the hand lotion?

A:16%
B:13%
C:20%
D:25%

please show work thank you.

Answers

Answer 1
$3.00-$2.40 = $0.60
$0.60/$3.00 = $0.2
$0.2x100 = 20% decrease
Answer 2

Final answer:

The percent decrease in the price of the hand lotion is calculated by subtracting the sale price from the original price, dividing by the original price, and then multiplying by 100 to get the percentage. This results in a 20% decrease in price.

Explanation:

To find the percent decrease in the price of the hand lotion, we need to calculate the difference in price between the original and the sale price, then divide by the original price and multiply by 100.

Original price = $3.00
Sale price = $2.40

Price decrease = Original price - Sale price
Price decrease = $3.00 - $2.40
Price decrease = $0.60

Now, we calculate the percent decrease as follows:

Percent decrease = (Price decrease / Original price) x 100
Percent decrease = ($0.60 / $3.00) x 100
Percent decrease = 0.20 x 100

Percent decrease = 20%

The correct answer is C: 20%.

The coordinates of the vertices of △PQR are P(1, 4) , Q(2, 2) , and R(−2, 1) . The coordinates of the vertices of △P′Q′R′ are P′(−1, 4) , Q′(−2, 2) , and R′(2, 1) .


Which statement correctly describes the relationship between △PQR and △P′Q′R′ ?

A) △PQR is congruent to △P′Q′R′ because you can map △PQR to △P′Q′R′ using a reflection across the x-axis, which is a rigid motion.

B) △PQR is congruent to △P′Q′R′ because you can map △PQR to △P′Q′R′ using a reflection across the y-axis, which is a rigid motion.

C) △PQR is congruent to △P′Q′R′ because you can map △PQR to △P′Q′R′ using a translation 2 units to the left, which is a rigid motion.

D) △PQR is not congruent to △P′Q′R′ because there is no sequence of rigid motions that maps △PQR to △P′Q′R′ .

Answers

ANSWER

The correct answer is option B


EXPLANATION


When we analyse carefully we can see that PQR is mapped on to P'Q'R' by the rule

[tex](x,y)\rightarrow (-x,y)[/tex]


[tex]P(1,4)\rightarrow P'(-1,4)[/tex]


[tex]Q(2,2)\rightarrow Q'(-2,2)[/tex]


[tex]R(-2,1)\rightarrow R'(2,2)[/tex]


That is to say the x-coordinates are negated. Hence y-axis is the mirror line.


Since reflection is a rigid motion, the two triangles are congruent. That means the two triangles PQR and P'Q'R' are equal in all respect.

The same four friends buy tickets for two shows on consecutive nights. They use a coupon for $5 off each ticket. They pay a total of $416 for 8 tickets. Write and solve an equation to find the original price of the tickets.



Answers

Answer:

Original price of the ticket was $57.

Step-by-step explanation:

Four friends buy tickets for two shows.

Let the price of a ticket was $c

Then cost of 4 tickets = $4c

They use a coupon to get the discount = $5 on each ticket

So total discount on 4 tickets = 4×5 = $20

Cost of the tickets after discount = 4c - 20

Cost of the tickets for two consecutive nights = 2(4c - 20)

If they paid total amount = $416 for 8 tickets

Then the equation will be 2(4c - 20) = 416

Now we can solve this equation to get the original price of the ticket.

2(4c - 20) = 416

4c - 20 = 208

4c = 208 + 20

4c = 228

c = [tex]\frac{228}{4}[/tex]

c = $57

Therefore, original price of a ticket was $57.

The total height of all three of Thumbelina’s sisters is 60 cm. If the heights of the three sisters are in the ratio 4:3:5, find the height of the shortest sister.

Answers

4x+3x+5x = 60

12x = 60

x =5

Since the shortest sister is in ratio of three, multiply the "x" factor by three.

5 * 3 = 15

15 cm

Answer: 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The total height of all three of Thumbelina’s sisters is 60 cm.

The heights of the three sisters are in the ratio 4:3:5 .

Let the heights of the three sisters are 4x , 3x and 5x.

According to the question , we have the following equation :-

[tex]4x+3x+5x=60\\\\\Rightarrow\ 12x=60\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{60}{12}=5[/tex]

Now, the height of the shortest sister will be :-

[tex]3x=3(5)=15\ cm[/tex]

Hence, the height of the shortest sister = 15 cm

How do I solve w-w*2+-2w*2

Answers

See two different cases, below:

Step-by-step explanation:

You cannot "solve" w-w*2+-2w*2, because this is not an equation.  Rather, you want to simplify w-w*2+-2w*2 by combining like terms.  You have w  -  2w   -  4w, or -5 w.

If, however, you meant "exponentiation" by " * "  then you have   w^1 - w^2 - 2w^2, which in turn equals w - 3w^2, or, in descending order by powers of w, -3w^2 + W.

What is the length of leg y of the right triangle?

A right triangle with hypotenuse 85 and legs 84 and y

Answers

Solution :

Given a right triangle with hypotenuse 85 and legs 84 and y.

Use Pythagoras theorem, to find the length of the leg y of the right triangle.

According to Pythagoras theorem,

[tex](hypotenuse)^{2} = leg_{1}^{2}+leg_{2}^{2}[/tex]

As given in the question,

[tex]hypotenuse = 85 \\\\leg_{1} = 84\\\\leg_{2} = y[/tex]

Put these values,

[tex]\Rightarrow 85^{2}=84^{2} +y^{2} \\\\\Rightarrow y^{2}=85^{2}-84^{2}\\\\\Rightarrow y =\sqrt{85^{2}-84^{2}} \\\\\Rightarrow y =\sqrt{169}\\\\\Rightarrow y =13[/tex]

Hence, the length of leg y =13.

What is the value of x and y?

Answers

The 2 angles on the left need to equal 180:

3y +5 + 85 = 180

Combine like terms:

3y+90 = 180

Subtract 90 from each side:

3y = 90

Divide both sides by 3:

y = 90 /3

y = 30


Now solve the equation with y:

3(30) +5 = 90+5 = 95

Now the two equations also need to equal 180:

95  + 2x +1 = 180

Combine like terms:

2x + 96 = 180

Subtract 96 from each side:

2x = 84

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 84 /2

x = 42


X = 42, y = 30

The answer is the 3rd choice.

What is the exact circumference of a circle with a diameter of 43 cm in terms of pi?

Answers

So the corcumference is equal to the diameter tiems pi.


Youre given the diameter, so just multiply it by pi.


The answer is 43pi.

Final answer:

The circumference of a circle with a diameter of 43 cm can be calculated using the formula C = πd. Substituting 43 for d, the exact circumference in terms of pi is 43π cm.

Explanation:

The circumference of a circle is determined by the formula C = πd, where C is the circumference, d is the diameter of the circle, and π (Pi) is a mathematical constant whose approximate value is 3.14. If we plug the given diameter of 43 cm into the formula, we get C = π * 43. Thus, the exact circumference in terms of pi is 43π cm.

Equations are mathematical statements containing two algebraic expressions on both sides of an 'equal to (=)' sign. It shows the relationship of equality between the expression written on the left side with the expression written on the right side. In every equation in math, we have, L.H.S = R.H.S (left hand side = right hand side). Equations can be solved to find the value of an unknown variable representing an unknown quantity.

Prove that the sum of the length of the diagonals of a quadrilateral is less than the perimeter, but greater than the half of the perimeter of this quadrilateral.

and 

Prove that the sum of the lengths of the three medians in a triangle is smaller than the perimeter of the triangle. (The statement is true for the altitudes as well.)

Answers

Answer: Consider a quadrilateral ABCD such that AC ans BD are the two diagonals of ABCD.

With reference to figure 1 .

In triangle ABC and triangle ADC  ,by using triangle inequality we have

AB +BC > AC .......(1)

and AD + CD >AC......(2)

adding (1) and (2) we have

AB+ BC+CD+AD>2AC....(3)

Similarly we get for diagonal BD

AB+BC+CD+AD>2BD....(4)

Adding (3) and (4) we get

2(AB+BC+CD+AD)> 2(AC+BD)

⇒(AB+BC+CD+AD)> AC+BD where (AB+BC+CD+AD) = perimeter of quadrilateral.

Hence, the sum of the length of the diagonals of a quadrilateral is less than the perimeter.

Now 2 diagonal divides quadrilateral into 4 quadrilaterals  

Therefore AO+OD>AD

OD+OC>CD

OC+OB>BC

And OA+OB>AB

Adding all these conclude that

2(AC+BD)>AB+BC+CD+AD

⇒AC+BD>1/2(AB+BC+CD+AD)  where (AB+BC+CD+AD) = perimeter of quadrilateral.

Hence,the sum of the length of the diagonals is greater than the half of the perimeter of this quadrilateral.

Now consider a triangle ABC  as given in figure (2)

As we now,the sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than twice the median bisecting the third side.

Therefore AB+BC>2BE

Similarly,

AB+AC>2AD

BC+AC>2CF

By adding all these we get ,

2(AB+BC+CA)>2(AD+CF)

⇒AB+BC+CA>AD+CF

Hence, the sum of the lengths of the three medians in a triangle is smaller than the perimeter of the triangle.
