As a smart consumer, you are always on the lookout for sales, coupons, and rebates. While shopping for new clothes, you notice t

hat one particular brand of shirts is on sale for 20% off the original price. You also have a coupon for $10 off a $40 purchase. Coupons are applied after the 20% discount is taken. If each shirt originally costs $17.99, how many shirts would you need to buy to be able to use your coupon? Show your work
You’d have to buy 3 shirts, with the 20% off the shirts would come out to $14.39. So $14.39 x 3 = $43.17. Now with the $10 off a $40 purchase your total cost would be $33.17.

Answer:

You need to purchase 3 shirts to be able to use your coupon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each shirt originally costs $17.99.

There is a 20% discount on this specific brand of shirts.

$17.99 × 0.2 = $3.60 (discount per shirt)

Subtracting the discount from the original price:

$17.99 - $3.60 = $14.39 (price per shirt after discount)

To qualify for the $10 off coupon which requires a $40 minimum purchase:

$40 ÷ $14.39 ≈ 2.779, rounded up to 3 shirts

Therefore, you must buy 3 shirts.

3 shirts × $14.39 = $43.17, surpassing the $40 minimum needed to apply the $10 discount.

In general, the probability that it rains on Saturday is 25%. If it rains on Saturday, the probability that it rains on Sunday i
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the provided information:

The likelihood of rain on Saturday stands at 25%.

P(Sunday)=25%=0.25

If it rains on Saturday, the probability of rain on Sunday rises to 50%.

P(Sunday|Saturday)=50%=0.5

If it does not rain on Saturday, the chance of Sunday rain is 25%.

P(Sunday|No Rain on Saturday)=25%=0.25

We aim to find the probability of rain on Saturday given that it rained on Sunday, P(Saturday|Sunday).

P(No rain on Saturday)=1-P(Saturday)=1-0.25=0.75

Using Bayes' theorem for conditional probabilities:

P(Saturday|Sunday)=\frac{P(Sunday|Saturday)P(Saturday)}{P(Sunday|Saturday)P(Saturday)+P(Sunday|No Rain on Saturday)P(No Rain on Saturday)}

=\frac{0.5*0.25}{0.5*0.25+0.25*0.75}

=0.4

Thus, there is a 40% likelihood that it rained on Saturday given the conditions on Sunday.

Two planes A and B can each fly through still air at 550 mph. The distance from Paris to Los Angeles is 5000 miles. Wind blows f
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:2688.63 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The distance from Paris to Los Angeles d=5000 miles

Wind traveling at 100 mph from Los Angeles to Paris

The velocity of the plane through still air is v=550 mph

Relative velocity of Plane A is v_a=550-100 =450 mph since Plane A is heading against the wind

Relative velocity of Plane B is v_b=550+100=650 mph

Plane A departs at noon

Distance covered by Plane A in 1 hour =450\times 1=450 miles

The total separation distance between the planes is 5000-450=4550 miles

Assuming they meet after t hours

Distance covered by Plane B in that time frame =v_b\times t=650\times t

Distance traveled by Plane A in t hours is =v_a\times t=450 t

The total distance equals 4550 miles

4550=650t+450t

t=\frac{4550}{1100}

t=4.13 hr

Distance traveled by B is =650\times 4.136=2688.63 miles

thus, they meet at a point 2688.63 miles away from Los Angeles.

The perimeter of the norwegian flag is 190 inches. What are the dimensions of the flag?
zzz [12365]
<span>The flag's dimensions are 40 inches by 55 inches.

Reasoning<span>:
The perimeter equals the sum of all sides. Being rectangular, opposite sides have equal lengths. Thus, the equation is
y + 11/8 y + y + 11/8 y = 190.

Simplifying, we get
2y + 22/8 y = 190.

Expressing 22/8 as a mixed fraction results in
2y + 2 3/4 y = 190.

Combining terms: 4 3/4 y = 190.

Divide both sides by 4 3/4:
y = 190 ÷ 4 3/4.

Converting 4 3/4 to an improper fraction: y = 190 ÷ 19/4.

Dividing by a fraction means multiplying by its reciprocal:
y = 190 × 4/19 = 760/19 = 40.

Since y = 40, calculate 11/8 y = 11/8 × 40 = 440/8 = 55.</span></span>

Inessa [12570]

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!:)
