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.

A granola bite contains 27 calories. Most of the calories come from grams of carbohydrates. The rest come from other ingredients
GuDViN [60]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression that modeled the relationship between these quantities (calories from grams of carbohydrate and the rest of the ingredients) as

4c+5 = 27

From the equation, the constant value of 5 represents the calories in grams of  the rest of the ingredients present in the bite.

Let us calculate the value of c from the equation

4c+5 = 27

4c + 5- 5 = 27-5

4c = 22

c = 22/4

c = 5.5

This means that the total calories of carbohydrate the granola bite contains is 4(5.5) i.e 21 calories of carbohydrate

<em>Note that 8 cannot be the solution to the equation because for us to eliminate 5 from both sides of the equation, we need to subtract it from both sides not add. If 5 was added to both sides, the value of c would have been (32/4 i.e 8) which would have been wrong.</em>
