Danielle bought a dress that was on sale at the clothing store. After taking 40% off the original price of the dress, Danielle paid $39.15, not including tax. What was the original price of the dress, to the nearest cent?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Original price of the dress was $97.88

Step-by-step explanation:

40/100=39.15/d

0.4d=39.15

0.4d=39.15

d=39.15/0.4

d=97.88

Answer 2

The original price of the dress is $97.875.

What is Algebra?

A branch of mathematics known as algebra deals with symbols and the mathematical operations performed on them.

Variables are the name given to these symbols because they lack set values.

In order to determine the values, these symbols are also subjected to various addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division arithmetic operations.

Given:

Danielle paid $39.15.

But Danielle paid after 40% off.

So, the price before discount

40% of x = 39.15

x= 3915/40

x= $97.875

Hence, the original price is $97.875.

(8CQ) Determine whether the series -5+25-125+... is convergent or divergent.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is divergent ⇒ answer (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

* The series is -5 + 25 + -125 + ........

- It is a geometric series with:

- first term a = -5 and common ratio r = 25/-5 = -5

* The difference between the convergent and divergent

  in the geometric series is :

- If the geometric series is given by  sum  = a + a r + a r² + a r³ + ...

* Where a is the first term and r is the common ratio

* If |r| < 1 then the following geometric series converges to a / (1 - r).  

- Where a/1 - r is the sum to infinity

* The proof is:

∵ S = a(1 - r^n)/(1 - r) ⇒ when IrI < 1 and n very large number

∴ r^n approach to zero

∴ S = a(1 - 0)/(1 - r) = a/(1 - r)

∴ S∞ = a/1 - r

* If |r| ≥ 1 then the above geometric series diverges

∵ r = -5

∴ IrI = 5

∴ IrI > 1

∴ The series is divergent

Let's say that we had a 750 coyotes that were decreasing at a rate of 3% per year. How many years would it be until we had only 100 coyotes left? Show your work.

Answers

Answer:

Approximately after 66.15 years, there will be 100 coyotes left

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula  [tex]F=P(1+r)^t[/tex] to solve this.

Where

F is the future amount (F=100 coyotes)

P is the initial amount (P=750 coyotes)

r is the rate of decrease per year (which is -3% per year or -0.03)

t is the time in years (which we need to find)

Putting all the information into the formula we solve.

Note: The logarithm formula we  will use over here is  [tex]ln(a^b)=bln(a)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]F=P(1+r)^t\\100=750(1-0.03)^t\\100=750(0.97)^t\\\frac{100}{750}=0.97^t\\\frac{2}{15}=0.97^t\\ln(\frac{2}{15})=ln(0.97^t)\\ln(\frac{2}{15})=tln(0.97)\\t=\frac{ln(\frac{2}{15})}{ln(0.97)}\\t=66.15[/tex]

Hence, after approximately 66.15 years, there will be 100 coyotes left.

Rounding, we will have 66 years

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add up the measures of the arcs it is 158. That means BC is 202 degrees. Divide it by 2 to find the angle. For the second answer, remember the question did not specify if the arcs were major or minor so you can flip them around.

Answer:

m∠BAC is 101° or 36°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

[tex]m(\widehat{AB})=115^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]m(\widehat{AC})=43^{\circ}[/tex]

To find : The measurement of angle BAC,

Let O be the center of the circle.

Since, here we have to cases ( shown in diagram ),

In Case 1 :

[tex]m\angle BOC = 360^{\circ}-[m(\widehat{AB})+m(\widehat{AC})][/tex]

[tex]=360^{\circ}-(115^{\circ}+43^{\circ})[/tex]

[tex]=360^{\circ}-158^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]=202^{\circ}[/tex]

By the central angle theorem,

[tex]m\angle BAC = \frac{m\angle BOC}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{202^{\circ}}{2}=101^{\circ}[/tex]

In Case 2 :

[tex]m\angle BOC = m(\widehat{AB})-m(\widehat{AC})[/tex]

[tex]=115^{\circ}-43^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]=72^{\circ}[/tex]

Again by the central angle theorem,

[tex]m\angle BAC = \frac{m\angle BOC}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{72^{\circ}}{2}=36^{\circ}[/tex]

Answer: first option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the common difference d of the arithmetic sequence:

[tex]d=a_n-a_{(n-1)}\\d=989-997\\d=-8[/tex]

Then the formula for the 101st term is the shown below:

[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]

Where:

[tex]a_1=997\\d=-8\\n=101[/tex]

Substitute values into the formula. Therefore, you obtain:

[tex]a_n=997+(101-1)(-8)=197[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]a_{101}=197[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term of the sequence is

[tex]a_1=997[/tex]

The given sequence  is 997, 989, 981, ...

The common difference is

[tex]d=989-997=-8[/tex]

The nth ter of the sequence is

[tex]a_n=a_1+d(n-1)[/tex]

We plug in the first term and the common ratio to obtain;

[tex]a_n=997-8(n-1)[/tex]

[tex]a_n=997-8n+8[/tex]

[tex]a_n=1005-8n[/tex]

We substitute n=101 to get;

[tex]a_{101}=1005-8(101)[/tex]

[tex]a_{101}=197[/tex]

How do you do this problem?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

If it is compounded quarterly, the interest of 1.5 must be cut into a quarter of its present size. 1.5 //4 = 0.375 % per quarter.

In addition, the number of times that payment will be received is

4 quarters * 5 years = 20 quarters.

i = principle (1 + 0.375/100) ^20

i = principle (1 + 0.00375)^20

The principle = 4000 dollars.

i = 4000 * (1.00375)^20

i = 4000 * 1.07773

i = 4310.93

So she's tied up 4000 dollars to make 300 dollars.

Part B

I can't really give you an answer to this because I don't know if the 7% is compounded and over what period of time if it is, or if they mean 7% annually. There's a lot of variation in this question. Most people don't take money out of the market, so if it compounded, the formula would be

New Principle = starting amount (1.07)^4

New Principle = 4000 * 1.07^4

New Principle = 5243.18 so she would make about 4 times as much as the 300 she makes if she puts the money in a bond.

=============

If the interest is simple interest

Gain would be 0.07 * 4000 = 280 dollars.

Over four years = 4*280 = 1120 dollars.

he point-slope form of the equation of a line that passes through points (8, 4) and (0, 2) is y – 4 = 1/4 (x – 8). What is the slope-intercept form of the equation for this line?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{4}x+2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation of a line that passes that through points (8, 4) and (0, 2) is given as;

[tex]y-4=\frac{1}{4}(x-8)[/tex]

To find the slope-intercept form of this line, we need to expand the point-slope form.

[tex]y-4=\frac{1}{4}x-2[/tex]

We now solve for y to obtain;

[tex]y=\frac{1}{4}x-2+4[/tex]

We simplify to obtain:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{4}x+2[/tex]

This equation is now in the form;

[tex]y=mx+c[/tex]

The string is 120 feet long and stretched taut. The kite string makes an angle of 70° with the ground. How high above the ground is the kite flying. Show Your Work

Answers

Answer:

112.76 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle trig problem.  We have the length of the string which serves as the hypotenuse of the triangle, and we also have the reference angle (the angle the string makes with the ground) and we are looking for the height of the height, which is also the height of the triangle, which is also the side opposite the reference angle.  So it's our job now to figure out which trig ratio relates the side opposite the reference angle to the hypotenuse.  That's the sin ratio (opposite/hypotenuse).  Set it up like this:

[tex]sin(70)=\frac{x}{120}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 120 and then do the math in degree mode on your calculator.  That gives you that x = 112.7631145

If a = 5 centimeters, w = 10 centimeters, and h = 6 centimeters, what is the area of the decorative paper he will require?

Answers

Final answer:

The area of decorative paper needed, given the dimensions of length and width, is calculated as 50 square centimeters.

Explanation:

To answer the question about the area of decorative paper required, we need to use the formula for the area of a rectangle which is length times width. However, the given dimensions of a = 5 centimeters, w = 10 centimeters, and h = 6 centimeters seem to describe a box or a prism rather than a flat piece of paper. If the decorative paper is meant to cover the side of the box, then the relevant dimensions are likely length and width, not including the height. Assuming the decorative paper is to cover a flat surface, the formula for the area is A = length × width. Therefore, the required area of decorative paper is A = 5 cm × 10 cm = 50 square centimeters.

Joelle's parents have combined all the candy from her and her three siblings Halloween bags so that the candy can be split evenly amongst the children. Altogether, the kids accumulated 256 pieces. How many pieces does each child receive?

Answers

There are 64 pieces that each child receive.

What is Division?

It is defined as the act of forming equal groups. While dividing numbers, we break down a larger number into smaller numbers such that the multiplication of those smaller numbers will be equal to the larger number taken.

Here, Joelle's parents have combined all the candy = 256 candy

          Total number of Children = 4

         Equal division of candy in 4 children = Total Candy/No. of children

                                                                        = 256 / 4

                                                                       = 64

Final answer:

Each of the four children, including Joelle, will receive 64 pieces of candy after dividing the total of 256 pieces evenly among them.

Explanation:

To find out how many pieces of candy each child receives, we need to divide the total number of pieces by the number of children. Joelle and her three siblings make a group of four children in total. They have accumulated 256 pieces of candy. To divide this evenly, we do the following calculation:

Divide the total number of candies (256) by the number of children (4).

The division gives us the result 64 pieces of candy for each child.

Therefore, each child, including Joelle, will receive 64 pieces of candy.

Answer:

Reflection across x-axis, horizontal stretch by a factor of 10

and vertical translation up 4 units ⇒ answer (c)

Step-by-step explanation:

* The basic function of tanФ is

# y = tanФ

1- If y = -tanФ ⇒ reflect y over the x-axis

2- If y = tan(-Ф) ⇒ reflect y over the y-axis

3- If y = tan(Ф - k) ⇒ shift y right k units

4- If y = tan(Ф + k) ⇒ shift y left k units

5- If y = tanФ + k ⇒ shift y up k units

6- If y = tanФ - k ⇒ shift y down k units

7- If y = k tanФ ⇒ multiply y-values by k

 (k > 1 stretch, 0 < k < 1 compressed vertical)

 The scale factor is k

8- If y = tan(kФ) ⇒ divide x-values by k

 (k > 1 compressed, 0 < k < 1 stretch horizontal)

 The scale factor is 1/k

* Lets solve the problem

∵ y = -tan(1/10)x + 4

* We will use rules number 1 , 5 and 8

∴ Reflect y over the x-axis, shift y up k units and stretch

   horizontal by scale factor is 1/k (0 < k < 1)

∴ Reflection across x-axis, horizontal stretch by a factor of 10

  and vertical translation up 4 units

The figures below are similar. the area of the larger trapezoid is 121m^2. Find the area of the smaller trapezoid to the nearest square meter. Please help!

Answers

Answer:

54 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar figures have corresponding lengths as equal ratios.

Smaller trapezoid's base is given 12 and larger trapezoids base is given 18, so the scale factor is [tex]12k=18\\k=\frac{18}{12}\\k=1.5[/tex]

this means the lengths of larger is 1.5 times lengths of smaller.

In terms of area, the scale factor is squared. Hence the scale factor for area is  [tex]k^2=(1.5)^2=2.25[/tex]

this means the area of larger is 2.25 times the area of smaller.

Now, Let area of smaller trapezoid be x so we can say:  [tex]x(2.25)=121\\x=\frac{121}{2.25}\\x=53.78[/tex]

to nearest square meter, x = 54 meters squared

Answer:

The distance between Bert and Ernie's apartments from Big Bird's nest

is 21 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets change the story problem to an equation to solve the problem

- The information i the story problem is

# The Big Bird's nest is halfway from there apartments

# The distance between Bert's apartment and Big Bird's nest is (5x + 4)

# The distance between Ernie's apartment and Big Bird's nest is (15x - 30)

* Now lets solve

∵ The Big Bird's nest is halfway from there apartments

∴ The distance between Bert's apartment and Big Bird's nest = The

   distance between Ernie's apartment and Big Bird's nest

∴ 5x + 4 = 15x - 30

- Collect the variable terms in one side and the numerical terms

 in th other side

∴ 15x - 5x = 30 + 4 ⇒ add

∴ 10x = 34

∴ x = 34 ÷ 10 = 3.4

* Now lets find the distance between Bert and Ernie's apartments

from the Big Bird's nest

- We can use any relation to find the distance

∵ The distance = 5x + 4

∵ x = 3.4

∴ The distance = 5(3.4) + 4 = 17 + 4 = 21 miles

You can check the answer by using second equation

∵ The distance = 15x - 30

∵ x = 3.4

∴ The distance = 15(3.4) - 30 = 51 - 30 = 21 miles
