First, we calculated the discounted price which would have been paid by Keith. That is the product of 85% and $36,000.
($36,000) x (85%) = $30,600
Then, after negotiating to pay 9% off the sale price, he will only need to pay 91% of the sale price. The new price would be,
($30600) x (0.91) = $27846
Thus, Keith will only need to pay $27,846.
Answer:
B) 1.15x, adding 15% to the cost of haircut is same as to multiply cost by 1.15
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression = x + 15% of x
x + (15/100) x = x + 0.15x
= (1+ 0.15) x = 1.15x
15% = 0.15 , added to x = 1.15x
Answer:
a = 3, b = -1, c = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three numbers be a, b and c.
Equation 1: a + b + c = 12
Equation 2: a + 2b + 3c = 31
Equation 3: 9b + c = 1
Equation 2 - Equation 1:
Equation 4: b + 2c = 19
Equation 3 times by the number 2
Equation 5: 18b + 2c = 2
Equation 5 - Equation 4
17b = -17
b = -1
Substitute into Equation 4:
2c - 1 = 19
2c = 20
c = 10
Substitute into Equation 1:
a + b + c = 12
a - 1 + 10 = 12
a = 3
