<u>Answer</u>
c. buying it at a 10 percent discount without sales tax.
<u>Explanation</u>
We are going to compare the 3 choices and then determine the most cost effective.
<em>a. using a paid membership card to buy it at a 10 percent discount.</em>
10% of $100 = 10/100×100 = $10
cost = $100 - $10 = $90
On top of this $90 there is the charges of the membership card.
<em> b. buying it online at a 10 percent discount with a $5 shipping charge.</em>
100%-10% = 90%
90% of 100 = $90
Cost: $90 + $5 = $95
<em>c. buying it at a 10 percent discount without sales tax.</em>
100% - 10% = 90%
90/100 × 100 = $90. This is the must cost effective method since there is no other cost involved.
To be able to compare the rates, we will write them in fraction form.
The fraction that represents Joe's rate is:

and the fraction that represents Bob's rate is:

Simplifying the above fractions, we get:

Since:

then Bob and Joe did not work at the same rate.
Answer:
No, Bob and Joe did not work at the same rate.
Answer:

denotes amount of food that Felicity's dog eats
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Felicity's dog eats no more than two cups of dog food per day.
Felicity's dog eats at least one-quarter cup more than one-half of the amount Martin's dog eats.
The amount of food that Martin's dog eats is represented by using 
To find: the inequality that represents the situation
Solution:
Amount of food that Martin's dog eats = 
Amount of food that Felicity's dog eats ≤ 2
Also,
Amount of food that Felicity's dog eats 
Therefore,
Amount of food that Felicity's dog eats ≤ 2
Let
denotes amount of food that Felicity's dog eats.
≤ 
The answer is 0 unless I did the math wrong
If so someone correct me. Other than that, hope this helped!
