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

Clarissa has a budget of $1,200 a month to spend for rent and food. She has already spent $928 this month. Which inequality repr
shtirl [24]

Answer:

1200-928 = 272 for the rest of the month Clarissa has to spend.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we don't want her to go over her budget so we wouldn't choose a greater than option for her so eliminate the first option and the last option. Now we just have the middle two. We want to keep it under 1200 but theres nothing wrong with spending that exact amount each month so I would pick x less than or equal to 272, since we can still equal the total of less than the total and not go over. Option 2 or B.

Please Help!<br> Please write a sentence or more about the difference between​ each plot
topjm [15]
Box Plot has less variability in the data.  We can determine this by the distances between the beginning of the data to the end (range) and the distances between lower quartile and the upper quartile (interquartile range).

Box #1
Range - 30
IQR - 15

Box #2
Range - approximately 23
IQR - approximately 9

Box #2 has less variation in the data because the distances between these 2 ranges are smaller meaning the data is closer together.
