$100\%-40\%=60\%\\60\% = \frac{60}{100}=\frac{6}{10}=\frac{3}{5}\\\\$

Numerator is 3 and denominator is 5. So, we divide the sales price by 3 and we multiply by 5 to get the whole fraction, or 100%.

$\frac{56.78*5}{3} \\\frac{283.9}{3} \\94.6333333333333...$

Your regular price sounds recurring, so you might have made a mistake copying.

The answer for what you've got is 94.633333...

12 one half times one nine

pshichka [43]

Answer:

$1\frac{7}{18}$ or one seven eighteenths

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

12 one half times one nine is the same that multiply 12 one half by one nine

$(12\frac{1}{2})(\frac{1}{9})$

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$12\frac{1}{2}=12+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{12*2+1}{2}=\frac{25}{2}$

substitute

$(\frac{25}{2})(\frac{1}{9})=\frac{25}{18}$

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{25}{18}=\frac{18}{18}+\frac{7}{18}=1\frac{7}{18}$

therefore

12 one half times one nine is one seven eighteenths

What are the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = 2x2 – 10x – 3?

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

$x=\frac{50+\sqrt{31}}{2},\frac{50-\sqrt{31}}{2}$ are zeroes of given quadratic equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been a quadratic equation:

$2x^2-10x-3$

We need to find the zeroes of quadratic equation

We have a formula to find zeroes of a quadratic equation:

$x=\frac{b^2\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}\text{where}D=\sqrt{b^2-4ac}$

General form of quadratic equation is $ax^2+bx+c$

On comparing general equation with b given equation we get

a=2,b=-10,c=-3

On substituting the values in formula we get

$D=\sqrt{(-10)^2-4(2)(-3)}$

$\Rightarrow D=\sqrt{100+24}=\sqrt{124}$

Now substituting D in $x=\frac{b^2\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}$ we get

$x=\frac{(-10)^2\pm\sqrt{124}}{2\cdot 2}$

$x=\frac{100\pm\sqrt{124}}{4}$

$x=\frac{100\pm2\sqrt{31}}{4}$

$x=\frac{50\pm\sqrt{31}}{2}$

Therefore, $x=\frac{50+\sqrt{31}}{2},\frac{50-\sqrt{31}}{2}$

Which is the best estimate of the correlation coefficient for the scatter plot?

leva [86]

The best estimate for this correlation would be B) 0.9.

We can see that the number is constantly going up, which would throw out the D answer.

We can also see that for every time the x goes up 1, the y goes up a little less than one. We can see that in the ordered pairs that exist on the graph such as (3, 2), (8, 6) and (2.1, 1.9).

Since the y values are just lower than the x, the correlation would be just under one. Therefore, 0.9 is an accurate estimation.
