The price of a $250 coat increased 7% last year. The coast is now on sale for one-half off. What is the sale price?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Well firstly you need to find what 7% of 250 is:
 250 x .07 = 17.5
(.07 is 7% in decimal form)

and then you add that to the original value:
250+17.5= 267.5

Now that you've found the price with the 7% increase you find the half-off price.
267.5 / 2 = 133.75

There you go! The price of the coat would now be $133.75.
Hope this helped :)

write a 2-3 paragraph response: many characters in this play believe that fate control what happen to people but others believe that they control their own destiny. based on the events of this play does shakespeare show a world where man control his own destiny or where fate control all events?

Answers

As I understand it, the three witches do not have any control over Macbeth's fate. What they can do is predict the future--and the future is unchangeable. As far as Macbeth controlling his own fate, that is impossible, although that is exactly what he tries to do. It was inevitable that he would murder Duncan. Shakespeare's message in this play is fatalistic. Whatever is going to happen to Macbeth--or to us--is already predetermined. I think this could be the good beginning for your response.  The rest can be done by the writers I trust. Check out the site Prime Writings.

I don't see the underline, but I'm pretty sure that the verb is "has known". That's the present perfect tense.
