Michael is buying a pair of jeans that regularly cost $40. They are on sale for 20% off. If the tax rate is 8%, what is the sale

Anna35 [415]

Answer

Find out the what is the sale price of the jeans including tax .

To prove

Let us assume that the sale price of the jeans including tax be x .

As given

Michael is buying a pair of jeans that regularly cost $40.

They are on sale for 20% off.

If the tax rate is 8% .

20% is written in the decimal form

$= \frac{20}{100}$

= 0.20

8% is written in the decimal form

$= \frac{8}{100}$

= 0.08

Than the equation becomes

x = 40 - 40 × 0.20 + 40 × 0.08

x = 40 - 8 + 3.2

x = 43.2 - 8

x = $35.2

Therefore the sale price of the jeans including tax be $ 35.2 .

For a class experiment, Danny's class weighed a log before and after subjecting it to termites. Before subjecting it to termites

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

4.75 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Before the termites: 5 pounds

After the termites: 1/4 of a pound

Amount that the termites took: x

5 - x = 1/4

Add x to both sides of the equation

5 = 1/4 + x

Subtract 1/4 from both sides of the equation

4 3/4 = x

4 3/4 = 4.75

The termites took 4.75 pounds from the log

Hope this helps :)

A family built a house in a beach resort area. In 1990, the house was 430 ft from the water. With erosion, the house was 400 ft

neonofarm [45]

We develop an equation for the given situation by first writing the general equation for lines,

y = mx + b

Substituting to this given the values given above,

(1990) 430 = b

(2000) 400 = m(10) + 430

The value of m from the equation in 2000 is -3. Thus, the equation of that relates the variables is,

y = -3x + 430
