Since 20 is a factor of 40, the least common denominator of 3/20 and 9/40 is 40.
Using proportions, the selling prices are given as follows:
1. $46.92.
2. $15.29.
3. $17.16.
4. $20,280.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
To find the selling prices, we have to multiply the original prices by either 1.02(2% sales tax) or 1.04(4% sales tax), hence they are given as follows:
- 2. 14.99 x 1.02 = $15.29.
- 3. 16.50 x 1.04 = $17.16.
- 4. 19500 x 1.04 = $20,280.

The percent discount is 30%.
If you multiply $32 by .30, you will get $9.60. That is the amount of the discount. If you subtract $9.60 from $32, you will get $22.40 which is what he paid before tax. Therefore the percent discount is 30%.
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
first term a= 2
last term tn= 32
common ratio r= -2
number of terms
= tn=ar^n-1
32 = 2*(-2)^n-1
divide both sides by 2
32/2 = 2*(-2)^n-1/2
16 = (-2)^n-1
Then...use 16 in the power of 2
(-2)^4 = (-2)^n-1
The bases (-2), cancels out
so we have: 4 = n-1
collect like terms
4-1 = n
3 = n
n= 3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>As per table we have:</u>
- 2x = 64 or 4x = 128 or 6x = 192 ⇒ x = 32
