Maddie can not decide which of two Ski sets to buy. The original price of each is $850. The first ski set is marked 50% off. The second was marked down by 30% then a few days later an additional 20% off. 1. Find the sale price of the first ski set... 50% off. Show your work. 2. Find the Sale Price of the Second Ski Set Marked 30% then 20%. Show your work. 3. Which one is a better deal for Maddie and why?

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The first ski was valued at $850 but was then given a 50% discount. The sales price will therefore be:

= 850 * ( 1 - 50%)

= 850 * 50%

= $425

2. The first one was first discounted by 30% so the sales price was:

= 850 * ( 1 - 30%)

= 850 * 70%

= $595

It was then marked down by a further 20%:

= 595 * ( 1 + 20%)

= $476

3. The first ski is a better option because the discount makes it cheaper than the second ski even after the second ski had been discounted twice.

step-by-step explanation:

; oqirjg'

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
