Pre-Algebra students worked with parallel and perpendicular lines today since we were ran out of time last Friday. We discussed the various ways to prove that two lines are parallel. Students then viewed and analyzed a piece
of abstract art or architecture and explain
how parallel lines, transversals or perpendicular lines are used in the
composition.

Hey Mr. Giomini!
ReplyDeleteThe final sale price for the T.V. is $67.25. I got this answer by multiplying $373.60 * 0.18
~Mustard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(:
Mr. Giomini,
ReplyDeleteThe television would cost $67.25 if it was 18% off. I did this by converting the original cost into a decimal, by moving the decimal point 2 spaces to the left. Then I multiplied 3.736 * 18 and got 67.2480. The instructions said to round to the nearest one hundredth. So then I got my answer of $67.25!
Terminator :D
Mr. Giomini
ReplyDeleteI got an answer of $67.25 for the TV. I got this by moving the decimal place over two places and multipling 373.60 by 0.18 to get 67.25

Mr. Giomini,
ReplyDeleteThe television would cost $67.25 if there was a sale for 18% off at the store. I got this by multiplying 373.60*18% and got $67.25. Than I rounded like it said in the directions. That's how I got $67.25.

sorry about that, I looked at the comments and it turns out that you multiply 373.60 by 0.18 the real answer is $67.25...
ReplyDeletejust to let you now I tried this and I did not get it right, do you have a math website I can study from??? Sky walker
The cost of the tv would be $67.25 because if you do all the steps then multiply $373.60 x 18 you would get the answer $67.25.

ReplyDeleteI forgot to turn My last one to money. Sorry Mr.Giomini.
Mr. Giomini,
ReplyDeleteThe sale price of the t.v. would be $306.352. Next, you would have to round but since the thousandths place is a 2 you would stay the same and just take away the 2.I got my answer because I took the original price, $373.60 and multiplied it by 18% and then I subtracted 67.25 from 373.60 and got my final answer which is $306.35.

Sorry if this isnt the place to post but for my answer is...
ReplyDelete18% of 373.60 = $67.24 for the T.V. in the ad.

Mr Giomini,
ReplyDeleteI got an answer of $67.23 as the sale price. I got my answer by dividing 373.60 by 50 (18/100 reduced), then i got 7.47*9 (9/50 is reduced from 18/100) and that is how I got $67.23. The TV is now $306.37.

ReplyDeletesincerely Need a nickname Ian Stewart
Okay the answer i got when i multiplied 18%*$373.60 is 67.248. you can't have 3 spots after the decimal so i rounded .248 to .25. that would give me the answer of $67.25. so then to get the sale price i subtracted $67.25 from $373.60 and that gave me $306.35.
ReplyDelete---Horton hears a who
the answer is 67.24
ReplyDelete-Mad Jack, the guy who's totally not crazy.
Mr. Giomini I multiplied 373.60 and 0.18 and got a answer of 67.248 so the discount is 67.25. then I subtracted 67.25 from 373.60. So the price of the tv is $306.35.
