Answer:
(x/3) - 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x.
The quotient of the number and 3 is x/3.
So the expression is:
(x/3) - 5.
<em><u>Problem One</u></em>
Remark
You don't pay a sales tax until cash is exchanged for goods or services.
So what is 70% off
Solution
Sale price = given price * (100% - 70%)
Sale Price = 72 * 30%
Sale Price = 72 * 30/100
Sale Price = 72 * 0.3
Sale Price = 21.6 dollars.
The sales tax is 5% of this amount
21.6 * 5/100 = 1.08
The total cost is = 21.6 + 1.08 = 22.68
Problem Two
If they marked up 100%, effectively they doubled the price.
New Price = old price + 100% of old price.
New Price = 48.50 + 48.50 = 97 dollars.
The sales tax is 6% * 97 = 6/100 * 97 = 5.82
Total Cost = Cost of item + Tax
Total Cost =97 + 5.82
Total Cost = 102.82 Answer <<<<
Answer:
y+22
Step-by-step explanation:
I think you meant the variable as lower case, sorry if I misinterpreted, but...
<em>Increased by </em>just means addition. so y <em>increased by </em>22 would translate to y+22.
Hope I helped :)

Answer:
4 movies, $20
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Family Video
charges $10 for a monthly membership and
$2.50 per movie
let the number of movies be x
and the charge for x movies be y
y= 10+2.5x----------1
Babe's Movies
charges a $12
membership and $2 per
movie.
let the number of movies be x
and the charge for x movies be y
y= 12+2x----------2
equate 1 and 2
10+2.5x= 12+2x
collect like terms
12-10= 2.5x-2x
2= 0.5x
x= 2/0.5
x= 4 movies
put x= 4 in equation 1 or 2
y= 12+2x----------2
y= 12+2*4
y= 12+8
y= $20
