Answer:

Option D. $82.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the cake that Melissa bought = $75.00

The sales-tax rate on the cake = 10%

The total amount she paid for the cake = 75 +(10% of 75)

= 75 + $(\frac{10}{100}\times 75)$

= 75 + (0.10 × 75)

= 75 + 7.5

= $82.50

Melissa paid $82.50 for the cake.

Multiply $75 by 1.1 because it includes the tax and the cake. you should get $82.50.

A function cannot be a function if any x is repeating. The x in A has the number 1 repeating. The x is C has 2 repeating the x in D has 1 repeating.
Therefore, our answer would be (B)

Answer to the first question: 7/10ths of a mile

Explaination: When adding fractions, you need to have a common denominator. Since dividing 3/10 by 2 to get a denominator of 5 makes 3 a decimal, it's easier to multiply 2/5 by 2 to get a denominator of 10. You do the same to the top that you do to the bottom: $\frac{2*2}{5*2} = \frac{4}{10}$ . From there, just add 4/10 and 3/10 to get the answer: 7/10ths of a mile.

Answer to the second question: Daniel read three (3/10) more books

Explaination: Since you can't evenly multiply 5 or 2 to get the opposite number, it's easier to multiply to the lowest common multiple. The easiest way to find that is to multiply both denominators (5*2=10). You'll have to multiply the numerator by the same amount you multipled the denominator by. For Daniel, that would mean: $\frac{4*2}{5*2} = \frac{8}{10}$ . For Edgar, that would mean: $\frac{1*5}{2*5} = \frac{5}{10}$ . So, Daniel read 3 more books than Edgar.

Answer to the third question: 2/4 mile (or 1/2 a mile)

Explaination: 2/8 can be simplified, by dividing the top and bottom by 2, resulting in 1/4. Since both fractions have the same denominator (/4), you can add them to get 2/4ths. This can be simplified further to half (1/2) a mile.
