19. The marked price of a certain handbag is $400. After two successive sales, the selling price of the handbag becomes $225. If the discount
per cent in each sale is x%, find the value of x.

x = 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

At the first sale of 25% off, the handbag price dropped from $400 to $300. This is because (400 x 0.25 = 100) and (400 - 100 = 300) Therefore, the selling price of the handbag after one sale was $300.

At the second sale of 25% off, the handbag price dropped from $300 to $225. This is because (300 x 0.25 = 75) and (300 - 75 = 225). Therefore, the selling price of the handbag after two sales is $225.

The value of x remained the same for both sales. x = 25% or 0.25

  the correct choice is marked

step-by-step explanation:

the first two graphs show multiple turning points. the last graphs matches the description in every detail.

b. 1.25 hr

step-by-step explanation:

if you have a constant speed of 60 mph, then you have a ratio between 60 mi. to 1 hr. dividing both sides by 60 we get the ratio

1 mi. to

then mult. both sides by 75 we get the ratio

75 mi. to

simplifying we get

75 mi. to

or 1.25 hr.
