Answer:

<em>The total price of the CD is $14.18</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentages </u>

We can compute additive or subtractive percentages by using these formulas. If we have a number X and want to increase it by Y%, then the increase is xY/100. Thus the new value for the number is x+xY/100 or equivalently

$X(1+Y/100)$

If we want to decrease by Z%, the new value is

$X(1-Z/100)$

The regular price for a CD is X=$15. The CD is Z=10% off, so the sale price is

$15(1-10/100)=\$13.5$

But we have to add the tax of Y=5%, so the final value is

$13.5(1+5/100)=\$14.18$

The total price of the CD is $14.18

10 or -10,

Read the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite this problem as a numerical expression. As per the wording of this problem, there can be two expressions derived.

1. $((\frac{1}{6}(10*3)*4)-30$

2. $30-((\frac{1}{6}(10*3)*4)$

Simplify, remember the order of operations. The order of operations is the sequence by which one is supposed to perform operations in a numerical expression. This order is the following:

1. Parenthesis

2. Exponents

3. Multiplication or division

4. Addition or Subtraction

Use this sequence when simplifying and solving the expression:

Expression 1

$((\frac{1}{6}(10*3)*4)-30\\\\=((\frac{1}{6}(30)*4)-30\\\\=(5*4)-30\\\\=20 - 30\\\\= -10$

Expression 2

$30-((\frac{1}{6}(10*3)*4)\\\\=30-((\frac{1}{6}(30)*4)\\\\=30-(5*4)\\\\= 30-20\\\\= 10$

Answer: The answer is 5 but all of them are five but on the number line it’s going to the right with no fill in, it’s just a circle going to the right. Also it gives you a clue it says more than meaning greater than so it’s going this way > but the line is going this way 0———————-> on the number line with no black fill in.

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to line 6x + 3y = 15

NISA [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given line is 6x+3y=15

Slope of the given line (m)=-x/y

=-6/3

=-2

let slope of the line perpendicular to the given line be m'.

Condition of perpendicularity,

m×m'=-1

-2×m'=-1

m'=-1/-2

m'=1/2
