Use the distributive property to write an experssion that is equalent to 7(3x-4)
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

21x-28

Step-by-step explanation:

the distributive property states that a(bx+c) is equal to abx+ac. in this expression, a is 7, b is 3, and c is negative 4. ab is 7*3, which is 21, so abx is 21x. ac is 7*-4, which is -28. combining these two results in 21x-28.

You need to buy 30 pounds of hamburger and 15 packages of buns for a staff-appreciation picnic. You have 2 options for hamburger
son4ous [18]

We have to determine the best cost after all discounts and tax.

Hamburger:

1 pound of Open Acres = $2.39

30 pounds of Open Acres = 30 \times \$2.39 = \$71.7

10% off is provided if we buy at least 10 pounds of Open Acres, we bought 30 pounds. So, we get 10% off.

10% off on 30 pounds of Open Acres Hamburgers = 10% of $71.7

= \frac{10}{100} \times 71.7 = 7.17

Total cost of 30 pounds of Open Acres Hamburgers = $71.7 - $7.17

=$64.53

Buns:

1 packet of Burly buns = $1.93

15 packets of Burly buns = 15 \times \$1.93

=$28.95

5% off on 15 packets of Burly buns = 5% of $28.95

= \frac{5}{100} \times 28.95 = \$1.4475

Total cost of 15 packets of Burly buns = $28.95 - $1.4475

=$27.50

Now, according to the question, a 10%-off coupon that can be used on either the hamburger or the buns, but not both, after any other discounts are applied.

Let us apply 10% off applied on Hamburgers:

10% of $64.53

=\frac{10}{100} \times 64.53 = \$6.453

Now, total cost of hamburgers after all the discounts = $64.53-$6.453

= $58.077

And total cost of Buns after all the discounts = $27.50

Total price of hamburgers and buns = $58.077 + $27.50

= $85.577

5% tax applied on total price of hamburgers and buns = 5% of $85.577

= $4.28

Best cost on the purchase of hamburgers and buns = $85.577 + $4.28

= $89.857

Rounding to the nearest hundredth dollar, we get

Best cost on purchase of 30 pounds of hamburgers and 15 packets of buns after all discounts and tax = $89.86
