Answer:

  1. The first mistake was in not taking 18% off the iPad price. A second mistake was in using an incorrect value for the sales tax multiplier. Those two mistakes together are why the answer is incorrect.
  2. ($575 +0.82·2·499)·1.08875 = $1517.02

Step-by-step explanation:

iPads are 18% off on the day of purchase, so they should be charged at ...

   100% -18% = 82%

of full price. The sum shown includes two iPads at $499 each, without any discount. The total price is too high by $179.64.

The tax rate is given as 8.875%, so the multiplier on price will be ...

  100% +8.875% = 108.875% = 1.08875

The multiplier used by the student in the problem is 1.0875, so is too low.

_____

A correct computation could be written as ...

  ($575 + 2×499×0.82)×1.08875 ≈ $1517.02

Answer:

I got this. Use the order PEMDAS search Up if you don’t know what it means.

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with What’s inside the parentheses

(X - 3) = 3x

(X + 5) = 5x

The divide.

How to divide it - The number coefficients are reduced the same as in simple fractions. When dividing variables, you write the problem as a fraction. Then, using the greatest common factor, you divide the numbers and reduce. You use the rules of exponents to divide variables that are the same — so you subtract the powers.

How do you turn<br> 584.56714755 into a radical answer and what would it be
Llana [10]

Answer

584.56714755 = 146

Step-by-step explanation:

584.567 is 4 times 146 ...

...and 4 can be written as 2 to the power 2.

So, the 4 can just be pulled outside of the radical sign, as a 2 ,

and the other factor, the 146 , just stays inside of the radical sign.

What role do individuals play in a capitalist system?
Vitek1552 [10]
The very rich control the market and decide what industries to invest in or lend money too. They influence the government so that they don't have to pay very much in taxes, which would support the nation's infrastructure, & provide jobs. The middle class works hard to produce products, and also spends money on products, which helps to make the rich investors even more wealthy. The poor are typically unable to compete in a capitalist economy (for a number of reasons), & require public assistance to survive.
