Suppose you go shopping for a new futon bed for your room. the model you really like happens to be on sale for $425. it's original price is $500. what percent of the original price will you save if you purchase it?

Step-by-step explanation:

What you are asking is to fill in the blank in the following sentence.

% off this imported futon.

Solution

500 x/100 = 425       Divide the left by 100

5x = 425                    Divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 425/5             Simplify

x = 85

That is not the answer. That is the % paid.

The reduction is 100% - 85% = 15%

So your blank would contain 15%

Check

15% of 500 = 15/100 * 500 = 75 which is what they the store is offering you off.

step-by-step explanation

2r= 2300

r =1150

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
