Answer:

The student added the discount instead of subtracting the discount.

They also did not calculate the tax correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price is 499

Discount = original price * percent off

Discount = 499 * .18

               =89.82

The sale price = original price minus the discount

sale price = 499-89.82

sale price = 409.18

Sales tax = sale price * tax rate

                = 409.18 * 8.875%

                =409.18*.08875

                 =36.314725

Rounding to the nearest cent

                     36.31

Final cost = sale price + sales tax

                  =409.18+36.31

                   445.49

The student added the discount instead of subtracting the discount.

They also did not calculate the tax correctly.

Help!!!!¡¡¡¡ i need help solving this it will increase my letter grade!!!!
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The answer is below⬇️⬇️

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x+4

g(x) = 2x

h(x) = x²+x-2

g(hx) = 2(x²+x-2)

= 2x²+2x-4

f(g(hx))=3(2x²+2x-4)+4

=6x²+6x-12+4

=6x²+6x-8

g(f(g(hx)))=2(6x²+6x-8)

=12x²+12x-16

f(g(f(g(hx))))=3(12x²+12x-16)+4

=36x²+36x-48+4

=36x²+36x-44

h(f(g(f(g(hx)))))=(36x²+36x-44)²+36x²+36x-44-2

=1296x⁴+2592x³-1872x²-3168x+1936+36x²+36x-46

=1296x⁴+2592x³-1836x²-3132x+1890

f(h(f(g(f(g(hx))))))=3(1296x⁴+2592x³-1836x²-3132x+1890)+4

=3888x⁴+7776x³-5508x²-9396x+5674

h(f(h(f(g(f(g(hx)))))))=(3888x⁴+7776x³-5508x²-9396x+5674)²+3888x⁴+7776x³-5508x²-9396x+5674-2

=15116544x⁸+60466176x⁷+17635968x⁶-158723712x⁵-71663616x⁴+657591048x³-255531048x²-106635204x+32194276
