Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The normal cost of the book plus the sales tax will be:
= $28.50 + ($28.50 × 10%)
= $28.50 + ($28.50 × 0.1)
= $28.50 + $2.85
= $31.35
Since there's a discount of 35%, the amount they'll have to pay will be:
= $31.35 - ($31.35 × 35%)
= $31.35 - ($31.35 × 0.35)
= $31.35 - $10.9725
= $20.3775
They do not have enough money to make the purchase.
Alfred takes 35% of $28.50 and subtracts that amount from the normal price. Alfred's calculation is shown below:
= $28.50 - (35% of $28.50)
= $28.50 - (0.35 × $28.50)
= $28.50 - $9.975
= $18.525
He takes 10% of the discounted selling price and adds it back to find the purchase amount. This will be:
= $18.525 + (10% × $18.525)
= $18.525 + $1.8525
= $20.3775
Alfred is correct
Larissa takes 65% of the normal purchase price and then computes 110% of the reduced price. This will be:
= 65% × $28.50
= 0.65 × $28.50
= $18.525
= 110% × $18.525
= 1.1 × $18.525
= $20.3775
Larisa is also correct
Answer: 2x = 54
I got this question correct on my lesson.
Answer:
$720.37
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we can use the compound interest formula:
<em>P = initial balance</em>
<em>r = interest rate (decimal)</em>
<em>n = number of times compounded annually</em>
<em>t = time</em>
<em />
First, change 6.2% into a decimal:
6.2% -> -> 0.062
Since the interest is compounded quarterly, we will use 4 for n. Lets plug in the values now:
To find the interest earned, just subtract the principal of 2,000 from 2,720.37:
<u>The interest earned is $720.37</u>
