PLEASE HELP! Oscar and Kim have $22.00 each to spend at a book fair, where all students receive a 30% discount. They both want t

o purchase a copy of the same book, which normally sells for $28.50 plus 10% sales tax. To check if he has enough to purchase the book, Oscar takes 30% of $28.50 and subtracts that amount from the normal price. He takes 10% of the discounted selling price and adds it back to find the purchase amount. Kim takes 70% of the normal purchase price and then computes 110% of the reduced price. Is Oscar correct? Is Kim correct? Do they have enough money to purchase the book? Explain your answer using complete sentences, and show your work.

Answer:

Both of them correct.

$21.945

They have enough money to purchase the book

Step-by-step explanation:

Oscar takes 30% of the normal price and subtracts it from the normal price. Out of 100% price he takes 30% so the result is: 100-30%= 70% of the normal price. Oscar's first step has the same result as Kim.

Oscar takes 10% of the discounted price (70%) and adds it back. The price will become 70% + 10%*70%= 77% of original price. Kim multiplies the discounted price with 110%, so the price will be: 70% * 110%= 77%. Both also give the same result.

The final price is 77% of the original, it will be: $28.50* 77%= $21.945

Both of them can buy the book

Help me with number question 7
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Just use the Pythagorean Theorem
(9 +x)^2 = 15^2 + x^2
x^2 + 18x + 81 = 225 + x^2
18x = 144
x = 8
 So the three sides of the triangle are
15, 8 and 17
