If a dress is sold for #3800.00 at 20% discount. what is its original price?
#3,000.00
#4,000.00
#5,000.00
#4,750.00
Correct answer is D
It is given that the cost of the item reduces to #3800.00 after the discount on the item.
Let original price = x
x – (20% of x) = 100
⇒ x – 0.2x = 100
⇒ 0.8x = #3800
⇒ x = \(\frac{3800}{0.8}\)
⇒ x = 4,750
The number line represented by the inequality
x≤2
x<2
x≥2
x>2
Correct answer is C
x ≥ 2 is represented by an arrow with an filled-in dot above the 2.
The arrow points in the direction of all the numbers that are greater than 2.
x <-2
x>2
x>-2
x<2
Correct answer is A
Three times a certain number (x) = 3x
minus 2 = -2
is less than = <
the number minus 6 = x -6
Mathematically; 3x - 2 < x - 6
collect like terms
3x - x < -6 + 2
2x < -4
x < -2 is the possible values of x
If n(P) = 20 and n(Q) = 30 and n(PuQ) = 40, find the value n(PnQ)
10
30
15
40
Correct answer is A
n(PuQ) = n(p) + n(q) - n(PnQ)
40 = 20 + 30 - n(PnQ)
n(PnQ) = 50 - 40 = 10
(2a-3b) (2a+3b)
(2a-b) (2a+3b)
(2a-3b) (a+3b)
(a-3b) (a+3b)
Correct answer is A
Check:
(2a-3b) (2a+3b)
4a\(^2\) + 6ab - 6ab - 9b\(^2\)
4a\(^2\) - 9b\(^2\)
