Hope this helped.
Answer:
The true solution is x=4/9
EXPLANATION
The logarithmic equation given to us is
We need to use the quotient rule of logarithms.
When we apply this law the expression becomes
We now take the antilogarithm of both sides to get
We square both sides to get,
We evaluate to obtain,
This simplifies to
We divide both sides by 36 to get
We simplify to get,
The original price is 100% of the price. If the price is marked 60% off, then you pay 40% of the original price.
An item costs x dollars.
With the 60% off discount, it now costs 40% of x, or 0.4x.
Now you apply a 30% discount.
For the second discount, consider the price 0.4x to be the new original price. If the price is now discounted 30%, you will pay 70% of the new original price.
Start with 0.4x.
Now calculate 70% of 0.4x.
70% of 0.4x = 0.70 * 0.4x = 0.28x
After applying the 60% discount and the 30% discount, the item that originally cost x now costs 0.28x. 0.28x is the same as 28% of x. The amount you pay is 28% of the original price.
Answer: 28%
The answer is A.
Reasoning:
Choice B says to subtract 1/5. However since 1/5 has a variable next to it, it would need to be divided not subtracted
