I get a 15% discount at Ann Taylor Loft. If I find a shirt I like for $20, how much will I have to pay for it?

17

Step-by-step explanation:

If you get a 15% discount off of 20$

( 20 times .15 = 3 ) which gives us the discount amount.

you then minus the total by the discounted amount

( 20 - 3 = 17 )

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
