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.

zzz [12365]

The correct answer is:

She can ascertain that while there exists an association between the variables, a correlation does not exist, and causation cannot be established.

Explanation:

Due to the arch shape of her graph, it indicates that as one variable varies, the other also changes. This indicates an association exists between these variables.

Nonetheless, given that the graph does not follow a linear pattern, no correlation can be claimed. As there is no correlation, causation cannot be determined.

Amare wants to ride a Ferris wheel that sits four meters above the ground and has a diameter of 50 meters. It takes six minutes
tester [12383]
The distance from the bottom of the wheel to a point on the ground can be expressed using the sine function h(t) = a*sin(kt) + b, where b represents the height of the wheel at 4m. The radius a is calculated as 50/2 = 25m. Since it takes 6 minutes for 3 complete rotations, the period can be derived from 2π/k, giving us k = π. Thus, h(t) = 25*sin(π*t) + 4.

Find the average value of the function f(x, y, z) = 5x2z 5y2z over the region enclosed by the paraboloid z = 4 − x2 − y2 and the
Leona [12618]
The paraboloid intersects the x-y plane when x²+y²=9, defining a circle with a radius of 3, centered at the origin.

<span>Utilizing cylindrical coordinates (r,θ,z), the paraboloid transforms into z = 9−r² and f = 5r²z. </span>

<span>If F represents the average of f over the area R then F ∫ (R)dV = ∫ (R)fdV </span>

<span>∫ (R)dV = ∫∫∫ [θ=0,2π, r=0,3, z=0,9−r²] rdrdθdz </span>

<span>= ∫∫ [θ=0,2π, r=0,3] r(9−r²)drdθ = ∫ [θ=0,2π] { (9/2)3² − (1/4)3⁴} dθ = 81π/2 </span>


<span>∫ (R)fdV = ∫∫∫ [θ=0,2π, r=0,3, z=0,9−r²] 5r²z.rdrdθdz </span>

<span>= 5∫∫ [θ=0,2π, r=0,3] ½r³{ (9−r²)² − 0 } drdθ </span>

<span>= (5/2)∫∫ [θ=0,2π, r=0,3] { 81r³ − 18r⁵ + r⁷} drdθ </span>

<span>= (5/2)∫ [θ=0,2π] { (81/4)3⁴− (3)3⁶+ (1/8)3⁸} dθ = 10935π/8 </span>

How do you write algebraic expressions to model quantities
Zina [12379]
To create algebraic expressions that represent quantities, translate the verbal description into mathematical terms following the sentence’s structure. For example, “one minus a number equals zero” becomes
1. 1 – n = 0.
Another example: John bought 25 apples and Julia bought 15. If Niccole bought twice as many as Julia, how many apples did Niccole buy?<span><span>
Steps:</span>First, restate the situation clearly so you can identify the relationship and how to form the expression.</span> <span><span>
Solution:</span>Julia = 15 apples Niccole = 2Julia </span>Thus, 2Julia = 2(15) = 30 apples.
