Answer: $0.84 or 84 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Peter paid $12.83 for a DVD even though the price of the DVD player was $11.99.

To get the amount of sales tax Peter paid, we would subtract the price of the DVD player from the price paid by Peter. This will give:

=$12.83 - $11.99

= $0.84

Since 100 cents make a dollar, this will be: $0.84 × 100

= 84 cents

Michael and Lindsey are saving money. Michael begins with $20 and saves $5 per week. Lindsey begins with no money, but saves $10

True [87]

Let
x----------> number of weeks
y----------> saved money

we now that

Michael begins with $20 and saves $5 per week
so
y=20+5x------> equation 1

and
Lindsey begins with no money, but saves $10 per week
y=10x-------> equation 2

the number of weeks it will take for Lindsey and Michael to save the same amount of money is when equation 1 is equals to equation 2

therefore
20+5x=10x------> 10x-5x=20------> 5x=20-----> x=20/5-----> x=4 weeks

the answer is
4 weeks
