First, multiply 4*2x-4*-5= 8x-20.
Second, add 15 to 8x-20
Third, that would equal 8x-20+15=11
Fourth, 15+-20= -5
Fifth, 8x-5=11
Sixth, add +5 to -5 and +5 to 11= 8x=16
Last, do 8x/8x and 16/8x
The answer is x=2
There Are Unlimited Equivalent Ratios To This! For One, We Could Simplify This Ratio To 3,1.Another One Would Be 12,4. You See, It Can Be Any Ratio As Long As It Equals(Simplified) To 3/1. I Hope This Helps!
The <em>correct answer</em> is:
He paid the correct amount.
Explanation:
First we find the subtotal of Manny's items:
32.65+3(14.89)+39.99 = 32.65+44.67+39.99 = 117.31
Next, we calculate the discount. If he gets 10% off, this means he pays 100%-10% = 90% of the total. 90% = 90/100 = 0.9:
0.9(117.31) = 105.579
Next we calculate the tax. Since tax is 8%, this means he pays 100% of his subtotal after discount plus the 8% tax; 100%+8% = 108%; 108% = 108/100 = 1.08:
1.08(105.579) = 114.02532 ≈ 114.03
Since this is what he paid, he paid the correct amount.
In order to do that we would need to see the list of potential answers.
