Well subtract 8 from 1000 and then do that five times. so 992,984,976,968, and 960<span />

Answer: 12.50$
Explanation: 5.25$ (per pound) and he wants 3 pounds so we multiply 5.25x3 which equals 15.75 and then we subtract 3.25 (because of the coupon) which makes your final answer 12.50$
Answer:
A. between 3.0 and 3.5 and between 4.0 and 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The idea here is that if a function is continuous and you have points on opposite sides of the x-axis, then there must be a zero-crossing between those points. As the table and graph show, ...
... (3.0, 4.0) and (3.5, -0.2)
are points on opposite sides of the x-axis. So, there must be a zero crossing between x=3.0 and x=3.5.
Likewise, ...
... (4.0, -0.8) and (4.5, 0.1)
are points on opposite sides of the x-axis. So, there must be a zero-crossing between x=4.0 and x=4.5
The appropriate answer choice lists both of these possible zero crossings.
Multiplication is a very old concept in math. So old that it dates back to ancient egypt, mesopotamia, etc. Each place probably came up with the concept on their own parallel to one another, or trade helped make the concept spread. It's very likely that the actual person who came up with the idea is unknown and won't be known since the concept is so ancient. It's like asking "who came up with the alphabet" which is an equally old concept.
Side note: multiplication is repeated addition. So if we added 3+3+3+3+3 to get 15, then we can say 3*5 = 12 as a shortcut. So its likely ancient peoples were adding the same number to itself over and over, leading them to develop a shortcut notation/method to get the answer quicker.
