Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of
cent stamps be
and
cent stamps be 
We have

The minimum number is obtained when more
cent stamps are used
Here

The graph of
... y = 3/4 - 2
is a horizontal line at y = -1.25.
The graph of
... y = (3/4)x - 2
is an upward-sloping line with a rise of 3 for every 4 units to the right. It intercepts the y-axis at y = -2.
This sets up as a very commonly used proportion.
90 oz / 18.95 = 1 oz / x Cross multiply
90 x = 18.95 Divide by 90
x = 18.95 / 90
x = 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
So each ounce of shampoo costs 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
This is a very handy way to check best deals. Stores have trained us for years to believe that the more we buy of a brand, the better the price. It isn't always true. Sometimes buying the smaller quantity is the better deal. There is only one way to be sure and that's to do a proportion like this one.
Try this is an example. The same company makes a smaller container of shampoo of 45 oz for 9.15. How much is 1 oz and which is the better deal? You should get 0.20333 dollars so this is marginally (just) the better deal.
Answer:
C. $824.74, $175.26
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Amount Credited
The formula to calculate the amount credited =
Amount paid ÷ ( 100% - Discount)
Discount is given in the question as 3/10
Where 3 = Discount rate
Amount paid = $800
Amount credited = 800/( 100% - 3%)
= 800/ 97%
= 800/ 0.97
= $824.74
b) Outstanding balance = Invoice - Amount credited
Invoice = $1000
Amount credited = $824.74
Outstanding balance = $1000 - $824.74
= $175.26
