A pair of shoes that normally sells for $85.00 goes on sale for 35% off. Season thinks that the sale price should be $50.00 but Melanie disagrees and says the price should be $55.25. Aiyanna says they are both wrong and decides the price should be $29.75. Who is correct and why?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Melanie is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

35% of 85 is 29.75 so take that away from the original price and you get 55.25

This means the price will be 55.25$

Answer 2

Answer:

Melanie is correct since 65% of $85.00 is $55.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of the shoes is $85.00. That is 100% of the price of the shoes since 100% is a whole amount.

The discount on the shoes is 35%.

100% - 35% = 65%

That means the sale price is 65% of the original price. Now we calculate 65% of $85.00.

65% of $85.00 =

= 0.65 * $85.00

= $55.25

Answer: Melanie is correct since 65% of $85.00 is 55.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Following are the binomial distribution with parameters:

[tex]n = 12\\\\p = 0.24[/tex]

For point a:

[tex]\to P(X = 3) = binom.dist(3, 12, 0.24, False) = 0.2573[/tex]

For point b:

[tex]\to P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X < 3) = 1 - binom.dist(3, 12, 0.24, True) = 0.3205[/tex]

The length of a rectangular garden is 8m greater than twice the width the area of the garden is 280m^2 what is the width of the garden

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

The length of the garden 8m greater than 2 times the width.

Area of the garden is 280 m²

Let us consider the length as x and width as y.

Sp, we can day length as :-

x = 8 + 2y ---(1)

Now, we know that:-

Area of Rectangle = Length × Breadth

280 = x * y

We can replace the value of x now,

280 = y × ( 8 + 2y)

280 = 8y + 2y²

2y² + 8y - 280 = 0

y² + 4y - 140 = 0

Factorise it.

(y -10)(y + 14)

Cancelling -ve value, we get the width as 10 metres.

Hope it helps :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = w

Length = 2w + 8

Area of rectangular garden = 280 square meter

length * width = 280

(2w + 8 ) *w = 280

2w * w + 8*w = 280

2w² + 8w = 280

2w² + 8w - 280 = 0

Divide the whole equation by 2

w² + 4w - 140 = 0      

w² + 14w - 10w - 14 *10 = 0

w(w + 14) - 10(w + 14) = 0

(w + 14)(w - 10)= 0

w - 10 = 0       {Ignore w + 14, as measurements will not be -ve}

w = 10 m

l = 2*10 +8

= 20 +8

l  = 28 m
