Answer: 0.0160768

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the marked price of the cosmetic be 100.

From the question,

Walgreens is offered a chain discount on cosmetics from Libby Corp. of 8%, 5% and 2%. The selling price of the cosmetic after the chain discount will be:

100 × (1 - 8/100) × (1 - 5/100) × (1 - 2/100)

= 100 × (1 - 0.08) × (1 - 0.05) × (1 - 0.02)

= 85.652

Discount = Marked price - Selling price

Discount = 100 - 85.652

Discount = 14.348

Discount percent = 14.348% = 0.14348

Roma Company offers a chain discount of 7%, 6% and 4%.

The selling price of the cosmetic after the chain discount will be:

100 × (1 - 7/100) × (1 - 6/100) × (1 - 4/100)

= 100 × (1 - 0.07) × (1 - 0.06) × (1 - 0.04)

= 83.9232

Discount = Marked price - Selling price

Discount = 100 - 83.9232

Discount = 16.0768

Discount percent = 16.0768% = 0.0160768

The highest discount offered is 0.0160768.

Answer:

  • golf: $10
  • batting: $2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write two equations in the two unknowns using the given relations. Let g and b represent the costs of a round of golf and a turn in the batting cage, respectively.

  5g +4b = 60 . . . . . Sylvester's expense

  3g +6b = 45 . . . . . Lin's expense

Dividing the second equation by 3 gives ...

  g +2b = 15   ⇒   2b = 15 -g

Substituting into the first equation, we have ...

  5g +2(2b) = 60

  5g +2(15 -g) = 60 . . . . . substitute for 2b

  3g = 30 . . . . . . . . . subtract 30, collect terms

  g = 10 . . . . . . . divide by 3

__

  2b = 15 -10 = 5 . . . . use the value of g to find b

  b = 2.5 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Mini golf costs $10 per round; batting cages cost $2.50 per turn.
