Answer:
x=20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let = a 30 day period
The first equation is 50 - 2x (because you start with $50 and subtract 2 for each 30 day period)
The second equation is 40-1.5x
Set them equal to each other: 50 - 2x = 40 - 1.5x
Solve for x:
50 - 2x = 40 - 1.5 x
+2x +2x
-----------------------
50 = 40 + 0.5 x
-40 -40
-------------------
10 = 0.5 x
20 = x
So there will be 20 30-day periods until the cards will be equal in value.
Check: After 20 periods, 50 - 2(20) = $10 left
40 - 1.5(20) = also $10 left
Answer: I think the answer is b
Step-by-step explanation:
20% off means that there is 80% on which means you pay that 80% so you move the decimal point two spots
80.0% to .80 and multiply store a’s price of 59.99 to get 47.992 round the two in the decimal down making the total price for store a 47.99 and total price for store b 49.99 so store a is the better price by two dollars
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total cost of the two T-shirts that you purchased is $25. The sales tax on the T-shirts is 8%. This means that the additional amount that you will pay on the T shirt is
25/100 × 25 = 0.25 × 25 = $6.25
The new cost of the T shirt would be the sum of the original cost and the value of the sales tax. Therefore,
New cost = 25 + 6.25 = $31.25
You have a $30 gift card from Amazon. The new cost of the shirts is higher than that value of the gift card. So the gift card will not cover the cost of the T shirts
