Given:Price of one taco = x; price of 2 tacos = 2xPrice of salad = $2.50Sales tax = 8% of the combined price of two tacos and a salad, namely .08(2x + 2.50)Tip = constant fee = $3.00Total bill = $13.80 Therefore the equation becomes
2x + 2.50 + .08(2x + 2.50) + 3 = 13.80 Solutions: 2x + 2.50 + .16x + .20 + 3 = 13.80 (using the distributive property to multiply 2x and 2.5 by .08).2.16x + 2.70 + 3 = 13.80 (combining like terms)2.16x + 5.70 = 13.80 (combining like terms)2.16x + 5.70 = 13.80 - 5.70 (subtraction property of equality)2.16x = 8.10x = 8.10/2.16 = 3.75 (division property of equality)
The cost of a single taco is $3.75

Answer:

  \displaystyle\frac{\sqrt[4]{3x^2}}{2y}

Step-by-step explanation:

It can work well to identify 4th powers under the radical, then remove them.

  \displaystyle\sqrt[4]{\frac{24x^6y}{128x^4y^5}}=\sqrt[4]{\frac{3x^2}{16y^4}}=\sqrt[4]{\frac{3x^2}{(2y)^4}}\\\\=\frac{\sqrt[4]{3x^2}}{2y}

_____

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

  1/a^b = a^-b

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

The x-factors simplify as ...

  x^6/x^4 = x^(6-4) = x^2

The y-factors simplify as ...

  y/y^5 = 1/y^(5-1) = 1/y^4

The constant factors simplify in the usual way:

  24/128 = (8·3)/(8·16) = 3/16

Answer:

I= 1,600

B= 9,600

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest is 8,000 x 0.04(4%) x 5

when you multiply all three (PRT) you end up with 1,600 as your interest.

then your balance is when you add the original borrowed amount ($8,000) with your interest ($1,600).

8,000+1,600= 9,600
