Since the specific conclusion is based on a general premise, this is a case of deductive reasoning.

<h3>What is deductive reasoning?</h3>

The term deductive reasoning has to do with the process of arriving at a specific conclusion based on a more general premise.

In this case, the conclusion arrived at was based on the fact that Mia saw a general sign that read that 3 grapefruit cost $2.50. Hence, this is a case of deductive reasoning.

What is the total price of a $45.79 item when a 7% taxe is added
meriva

Answer:

$42.58

Step-by-step explanation:

You would multiply the price of the item (45.79) by the percentage as a decimal (0.07) and subtract the product.

in this case:

45.79x0.07 = 3.205 (rounded 3.21)

45.79-3.21 = 42.58

What multiplies to 16 and adds to negative 12
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Factor 16 and see the - factor pairs and add them, see which add to -12
-1-16=-17 nope
-2-8=-10 nope
-4-4=-8
hmm


we will solve with math
xy=16
x+y=-12
minus  x both sides
y=-12-x
sub for y in other equation
x(-12-x)=16
-12x-x^2=16
add 12x+x^2 both sides
0=x^2+12x+16
use quadratic formula
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0
x=\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}


0=x^2+12x+16
a=1
b=12
c=16

x=\frac{-12+/- \sqrt{12^{2}-4(1)(16) }}{2(1)}
x=\frac{-12+/- \sqrt{144-64 }}{2}
x=\frac{-12+/- \sqrt{80}}{2}
x=\frac{-12+/- 4\sqrt{5}}{2}
x=\frac{-6+/- 2\sqrt{5}
x=\frac{-6+ 2\sqrt{5} or \frac{-6- 2\sqrt{5}

aprox
x=-1.52786 or -10.4721

those are the numbers

the numbes are -1.52786 or -10.4721
