Hello there! I can help you!
7. Okay. So the computer was originally $1,080, and the discount is 20%, but David would still have to pay 80% of the original price. To find the sale price, let's multiply. 1,080 * 80% (0.8) is 864. The sale price of the compuet is $864, but now we must add the sales tax to find the total price. We will multiply by 108%, because 100% (representing the price + 8% is 108%, and doing this will get us stright to the total price. 864 * 108% (1.08) is 933.12. There. David paid a total price of $933.12 for the computer.
8. Okay. So we are looking for the amount of discount for the sweater Suzanne bought. First off, let's subtract the prices to find the difference. 40 - 25 is 15. Now, let's divide that by 40 (the original price) to find the discount. 15/40 is 0.375. Or 37.5% when converted into a percentage. There. Suzanne received a 37.5% discount on the sweater when she bought it.
9. So the car was bought for x dollars. 0.88 represents 88%, so the value of the car is 88% of the previous year. An expression that is a way to describe the change in car value is x * (100 - 0.12)^t, because you car loses 12% of the remaining value each year, which leaves 88% of it remaining, and having the t as the exponent represents the number of years. That expression helps find the value of the car currently and can help you compare the values.
Im sorry. I need the options to answer this...
But if you want to answer this your self just take all your options and replace x with -2 and use PEMDAS to find if it equals 0 or not.
32 divde by 2 = 16 (50%)
32 divde by 10 = 3.2 (10%)
16 - 3.2 = 12.8 (40%)
3.2 times 4 = 12.4 (40%)
You would round the number to the nearest whole because you can't make a . of a shot. Therefore the answer would be that she made 12 shots.
Hope this helps!
