A coat at a store is originally priced at $54.99. The store marks down the price down to $32.99. To the nearest percent, what is the percent markdown of the coat?

66.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one

given

A coat at a store is originally priced at $54.99

The store marks down the price down to $32.99

Required

the percent decrease

Step two:

the percent decrease= change in price/ old price*100

the percent decrease= 54.99-32.99/54.99*100

the percent decrease= 22/ 32.99*100

the percent decrease= 0.666*100

the percent decrease= 66.6%

i think it is x = 1.2

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
