The expression in company B represents that is is in arithmetic progression where first term is 42000 and common difference is 1800 . So we have to use the formula of sum of n terms which is
Where a is the first term, n is the nth term, d is the common difference
On substituting there values,we will get
= 15(84000+52200) = 15*136200 =2043000
And for company A, it is
Difference between them =2043000-2002500= 40500
So the correct option is the second option .
Answer:
The price of the television before taxes is $420
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the problem
- The purchased price = cost price + taxes
- A new television set was recently purchased for the common room
in a residence hall for $436.80
- This price including tax
- The tax rate is 4%
- We need to find the price of the television before taxes
* <em>Lets solve the problem</em>
- Assume that the price of the television before tax is 100%
∵ The tax rate is 4%
∵ The price after tax = price before tax + tax
∵ The price before tax = 100%
∴ The price after tax = 100% + 4% = 104%
∵ 104% equivalent to $436.80
∴ 100 ⇒ ?
104 ⇒ 436.80
- <em>By using cross multiplication</em>
∴ ? =
∴ The price of the television before taxes is $420
