Answer:
2.80
Step-by-step explanation:
The discount is the regular price times the discount
discount = 19 *15%
discount = 2.85
The new price is the regular price minus the discount
new price = 19-2.85
=16.15
Now she has to pay the sales tax
tax = new price * tax rate
tax= 16.15 * 6.5%
= 16.15 *.065
=1.05
We add the tax to the new price to get the final price
final price = new price+tax
= 16.15 +1.05
=17.20
She pays with a 20 dollar bill
Change = payment - final price
=20.00 - 17.20
= 2.80

Answer:
3x -4y = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply by 4 to clear the fraction.
4(y -6) = 3(x -5)
Subtract the left-side term to get variables on the same side, with a positive x-coefficient.
0 = 3(x -5) -4(y -6)
Eliminate parentheses and collect terms.
0 = 3x -15 -4y +24
0 = 3x -4y +9
Subtract 9 and swap sides to get standard form.
3x -4y = -9
_____
Standard form is ...
ax +by = c
where a ≥ 0, and a, b, c are mutually prime integers. If a=0, then b > 0.

Answer:
20.8%
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of the pieces of mail handled by the U.S postal service decreased from 212,000,000,000 to 168,000,000
Therefore the percentage decrease can be calculated as follows
= 212,000,000,000-168,000,000,000
= 44,000,000,000/212,000,000,000 × 100
= 0.2075 × 100
= 20.8 %
Hence the percentage decrease is 20.8%
Ok it’s 1,345,234,324 is the answer
