A local cable TV/Internet/phone provider charges new customers $129 for all three services, per month, for the first year under their "3 for 129" promotion. Joanne normally pays $74 for her monthly home phone service, $59 for Internet service, and $69 for cable television
a. What are her percent savings if she switches to the "3 for 1299 plan? Round to the nearest percent.
b. If, after the first year, the flat fee for all three services is $139, what are her percent savings? Round to the nearest percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount paid by Joanne before promotion = 74 + 59 + 69 = $ 202

a) Amount saved if she switches to "3 for 129 plan" = 202 - 129 = $ 73

Percentage of saving = = 36.13 = 36%

b) Amount saved after the first year = 202 - 139 = $ 63

Percentage of saving = = 31.18 = 31%

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following

i believe the answer is c.
