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

3(x-7)+8=-20<br><br><br><br>can someone explain how to do this step by step​
Mrrafil [7]

3(x-7)+8=-20

Multiply the bracket by 3

(3)(x)(3(-7)+8= -20

3x-21+8= -20

3x-13= -20

Move -13 to the other side. Sign changes from -13 to +13.

3x-13+13= -20+13

3x= -7

Divide by 3

3x/3= -7/3

x= -7/3 or in mixed number : -2 1/3

Answer : x= -7/3 or in mixed number : -2 1/3

Following the flight of their rocket, calculate the altitude their rocket achieved.

Based on the flight performance of their rockets, analyze their rocket designs, modify or rebuild them, launch again, and calculate the altitude achieved to determine if their changes affected the performance of the rocket.

Conclude the activity by writing a post-flight mission report.
