Answer 1
percent decrease = (new number - original number) / original number...* 100
                            = (21 - 17.43) / 21....* 100
                            = 3.57 / 21....* 100
                            = 0.17 * 100
                            = 17%.....the price reduction was 17%
Answer 2

The price reduction, rounded to the nearest whole percent is [tex]17[/tex]%.

What is whole number?

The whole numbers are the part of the number system which includes all the positive integers from 0 to infinity. These numbers exist in the number line.

What is Percentage?

In mathematics, a percentage is a number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100. If we have to calculate percent of a number, divide the number by the whole and multiply by 100. Hence, the percentage means, a part per hundred. The word per cent means per 100. It is represented by the symbol “%”.

According to question, an electronic device that previously sold for $[tex]21[/tex] has been reduced to [tex]17.43[/tex]

We have to find the price reduction, rounded to the nearest whole percent .

So percentage reduction

[tex]=\frac{21-17.43}{21}[/tex]×[tex]100[/tex]%

[tex]=0.17[/tex]×[tex]100[/tex]%

[tex]=17[/tex]%

Hence, price reduction, rounded to the nearest whole percent is [tex]17[/tex]%.

Fiona decides to join a gym for a minimum of one month to train for a triathlon. The gym charges a joining fee of $100 and a monthly fee of $38. If x represents the number of months that Fiona is a member of the gym, the equation below can be used to determine C, her total membership fee for that duration of time: 100 + 38x = C Fiona has allocated a maximum of $328 to spend on her gym membership. Which number line shows the possible number of months that Fiona can be a member of the gym?

Answers

Substituting the value of C=$328 into the equation we have

[tex]100+38x=328 [/tex]
[tex]328-100=38x[/tex]
[tex]228=38x[/tex]
[tex]x= \frac{228}{38} [/tex]
[tex]x=6[/tex]

The number line that shown the value of x=6 is the answer

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Fiona decides to join a gym :

A joining fee of $100

A monthly fee of $38

x represents the number of months.

Fiona has allocated a maximum of $328 to spend on her gym        membership

Her total membership fee for that duration of time: 100 + 38x = C

Solution :

It is given that Fiona has allocated a maximum of $328 to spend

So, C = $328

Putting this value in equation 100 + 38x = C

⇒[tex]100+38x=328[/tex]

⇒[tex]38x=328-100[/tex]

Find 93 • 87 using mental math.

Answers

Okay so start with multiplying 93 * 7

So 3 x 7= 21

9 X 7 +63, carry the 2 = 651


Then 8 x 93
Remember that first is a zero.
8 X 3= 24
8 X 9= 72, carry the 2= 74
So that is 7440
Now
  0651
+7440
  8091
And that's the answer

To estimate 93 × 87 using mental math, round 87 to 90, multiply by 93 to get 8370, and subtract 3 × 93 (279) for an estimate of 8091.

To find 93 × 87 using mental math, we can employ a strategy that simplifies the multiplication process. One way is to round one of the numbers to the nearest multiple of ten, perform the multiplication, and then adjust the result accordingly. Here, we can round 87 up to 90 and multiply 93 by 90. This is easier because 90 is a multiple of 10.

93 × 90 = (93 × 9) × 10  = 837 × 10 = 8370

Since we rounded 87 to 90, we overestimated by 3 per unit of 93. Hence, we need to subtract 3 times 93 from 8370.

3 × 93 = 279

Thus, 8370 - 279 = 8091.

The parabola has a vertex of (1,-16) and y intercept of (0,-15) that crosses the x axis in two places. one x intercept is (5,0) what is the other x intercept

Answers

vertex form is:

y = a(x - 1)^2 - 16  where a is a cosntant

at y intercept we have

-15 = a^2 - 16
a^2 = 1

so equation of the parabola is y = (x-1)^2 - 16

the equation of symmetry is x = 1  and both roots are same distance either side of the point (1,0) so the other x-intercept  is  1 - 4 =   (-3,0)   

How do you write 56% as a fraction in simplest form?

Answers

56% can be represented with 56/100. That fraction can be reduced (or simplified) to 14/25.

We can write 56% as a fraction to the simplest form as [tex]\mathbf{= \dfrac{14}{25} }[/tex]

A fraction is a numeric value divided into two parts, the upper part(numerator) and the lower part(denominator) which are separated by a division line.

From the given information:

56% can be written in fraction as [tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{56}{100}}[/tex]

Now, to its simplest form means to divide the numerator and the denominator to their lowest term. By doing so, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{56}{100}}[/tex]

Divided by (2)

[tex]\mathbf{= \dfrac{28}{50} }[/tex]

Divided by (2)

[tex]\mathbf{= \dfrac{14}{25} }[/tex]

Therefore, we can conclude that 56% as a fraction to the simplest form is [tex]\mathbf{= \dfrac{14}{25} }[/tex] since no other number can go in both the numerator and the denominator.

hmm
(note: I spent like 30 mins trying to use a math only of finding the values but it didn't work so I did a  force brute and elimination method explained below)


so
a and b must be multiples of 6
so list all the multiples of 6
wait
180=6*30 and 30's factors are 1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30 so only list the numbers that are the result of multiplying 6 and any of those numbers in that list (so we can have the lcm of 180)
so
6*1=6
6*2=12
6*3=18
6*5=30
6*6=36
6*10=60
6*15=90
6*30=180
these are our possible candidates for the 2 numbers
now we must find the pair that has a GCD of only 6

doing the math is long and tedious so do it yourself (trial and error)

we see that our choices that fulfill both requirements (GCD of 6 and LCM of 180) are
90&12
60&18

sum them to find the least one

90+12=102

What is an inverse of a function?

The inverse function agrees with the resultant, operates and reaches back to the original function. If you consider functions, f and g are inverse, f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x.

Horizontal Line Test :-

Let f be a function. If any horizontal line intersects the graph of f more than once, then f does not have an inverse. If no horizontal line intersects the graph of f more than once, then f does have an inverse.

The domain of the function are all possible values (x values) which are suitable for the function. The range are all possible y values , when we have already defined the domain.
For the exponential function:The domain of exponential functions is all real numbers. And the range are all  real numbers greater than zero. 
For the quadratic function: The domain is all real numbers, and the range is all real numbers f(x) such that f(x) ≤ 4.
For the linear function: Domain and range all real numbers.
For the inverse variation function (hyperbola): two asymptotes are excluded from the domain of all real numbers and one excluded from the range.

A house is 50.0 ft long and 26 ft wide and has 8.0-ft-high ceilings. what is the volume of the interior of the house in cubic meters and in cubic centimeters? 290

Answers

The shape of the house is not specifically mentioned here so I assume that it has a conventional shape like that of a rectangular prism. A rectangular prism is like a shoe box, that has two bases, the one on top and at the bottom and 4 lateral sides. The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to

V = Area of base * Height

The area of base is also rectangular because of the given length of 50 ft and a width of 26 ft. Thus, the area of the rectangular base is

Area of base = 50 ft * 26 ft = 1,300 ft²

Then, we use the height which is equal to 8 ft to finally determine the volume.

Volume = (1,300 ft²)(8 ft)
Volume = 10,400 ft³

D. y = - sqrt (4x + 4)

Answers

To solve this problem, we make use of the formula:

y = a sqrt (b (x – h)) + k                  ---> 1

Since we are given the parent function:

y = sqrt (x)                                          ---> 2

Then this automatically means that:

a = 1       and        k = 0

So going back to equation 1 at a = 1 and k = 0:

y = 1 sqrt (b (x – h))

Since it is given that, b = 4            and        h = 1, therefore:

y = sqrt (4 (x – 1))

y = sqrt (4 x – 4)

Neptune has 8 known moons. This is 2 more than 1/3 of the number of known moons on Saturn. How many moons is Saturn known to have?

Answers

If Neptune has 8 and is 2 more than 1/3 the number of Saturn's moons, you would subtract 2 from 8 to get 6, then multiply that by 3 to get 18.
Final answer:

Through setting up and solving the equation 1/3 * x + 2 = 8, where x represents the number of Saturn's moons, it was determined that Saturn is known to have 18 moons.

Explanation:

The student's question pertains to a comparison of the moons of Neptune and Saturn, using mathematical operations to deduce the number of known moons of Saturn. First, we're told that Neptune has 8 known moons, which is said to be 2 more than 1/3 of the number of known moons on Saturn. We are seeking to solve for the number of moons that Saturn has.

To find out, we set up an equation where 1/3 of the number of moons of Saturn plus 2 equals the number of Neptune's moons: 1/3 * x + 2 = 8, where x represents the number of Saturn's moons. Solving for x, we subtract 2 from both sides to get 1/3 * x = 6. We then multiply both sides by 3 to isolate x and find that x = 18.

Therefore, Saturn is known to have 18 moons according to the given information.

Trey's Coffee Shop makes a blend that is a mixture of two types of coffee. Type A coffee costs Trey $4.80 per pound, and type B coffee costs $5.85 per pound. This month's blend used three times as many pounds of type B coffee as type A, for a total cost of $603.45 . How many pounds of type A coffee were used?

Answers

Let x = the number of pounds of Type A coffee.

 

We know that this month's blend used 3 times as many pounds of type B coffee as type A coffee.

Total pounds of coffee =  x + 3x

 

The total cost is:

(cost for Type A)(x) + (cost for Type B)(3x) = $603.45

$4.80x + $5.85(3x) = $603.45

$4.80x + $17.55x = $603.45

$22.35x = $603.45

x = 603.45/22.35 = 27 pounds
