A department store sells logo shirts at an original price of $20. Every month that a shirt doesn’t sell, the store reduces the s

elling price by 25%. The store employees get a 50% markdown off the current price. Macy works at the store and sees the shirts going into the second markdown month. She decides that since 25% + 25% + 50% = 100%, the shirts must be free to employees. What is Macy’s error?

Answer: Macy's pre-tax shirt price is $5.63

Step-by-step explanation:

Details:

Original cost = 20

sale price drops by 25% every month it remains unsold.


First markdown month:

20 * (100%-25%) = 20 * 75% = 15


Second markdown month:

15 * 75% = 11.25


Macy, being an employee, enjoys a 50% discount on the current price.

11.25 * 50% = 5.625

11.25 - 5.625 = 5.625 or rounded to 5.63

Hope this helps!:)

Answer:

teacher's feedback

Step-by-step explanation:

Macy made an error by calculating employee discounts from the original price each time instead of using the adjusted selling price for that particular month. She must apply each discount individually rather than simply summing them.

A streaming music site changed its format to focus on previously unreleased music from rising artists. The site manager now want
lawyer [12517]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It was noted that a music streaming platform modified its format to highlight previously unreleased tracks from emerging artists. The site manager is now aiming to assess whether the daily unique listener count has changed.

The hypothesis is set

H_0: Mean 1- Mean 2 =0\\H_a: Mean 1 - Mean 2 \neq 0

(A two-tailed test for mean difference)

The test statistic is calculated, and the p-value turns out to be 0.0743

Assuming a significance level of 5%, we observe that p-value = 0.0743>0.05

Thus, we accept the null hypothesis.

i.e. there is no statistically significant alteration in the average number of daily unique listeners

The p-value serves as an indicator of the extremity of the observed data. If p is lower than alpha, we thus reject H0; otherwise, we accept it.

The length and width of a book cover are 22.2cm and 12 cm respectively
zzz [12365]

The dimensions of the book cover are 28.3 centimeters in length and 21 centimeters in width. Calculate the range of values for both the actual length and width of the book cover. Minimum length = (28.3 - 0.05) cm and maximum length = (28.3 + 0.05) cm, thus 28.25 cm ≤ length < 28.35 cm.

Hope this information is helpful!
