<h3>Answer: Net Increase of 26%</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
If it increases by 5%, then we use the multiplier 1.05
Think of it like saying 100% + 5% = 1 + 0.05 = 1.05
Similarly, an increase of 20% means we involve 1.20
Combine those multipliers to get: 1.05*1.20 = 1.26
This is a net increase of 26%
Interestingly, we get fairly close to 25% which is what many students might go for (since 5 + 20 = 25). This is a beginner's trap.
----------------
An example:
Let's say the temperature is 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit)
An increase of 5% means it moves to 1.05*20 = 21 degrees C
A 20% increase means we go to 1.20*21 = 25.2 degrees C
The shortcut would be to do a 26% increase to get 1.26*20 = 25.2 to help confirm we have the correct combined increase.
Answer: Darla would have to pay $17.69 before tax
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount in Darla's wallet = $15
She intends buying 2 gallons of fruit, 3 bags of chips and a box of cupcakes.
For the gallon of fruit
The first gallon of fruit cost $3.50
The second gallon of fruit has a discount of 50%. We have
(50/100) * 3.50
= $1.75
Therefore, the total amount for the two gallons of fruit =$3.50 + $1.75
= $5.25
Bag of chips
2 bags of chips cost $5 while 1 bag of chips cost $2.65
Since she intends to buy 3 bags of chips we have $5 + $2.65 = $7.65
1 box of cupcakes = $4.79
The total amount Darla is to pay for the groceries before tax equals
$5.25 + $7.65 + $4.79
= $17.69
This is more than the amount Darla has in her wallet
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Simplify:</u>
- √5(√8 + √18) =
- √5*8 + √5*18 =
- √40 + √90 =
- √4*10 + √9*10 =
- 2√10 + 3√10 =
- (2 + 3)√10 =
- 5√10
<u>The value of a:</u>
Answer:
y = 8x + 38
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope we set up y = mx + b and plug m (our slope) in and then plug in the point into x and y to find b (our y-intercept)
y = mx + b
y = 8x + b
6 = 8(-4) + b
6 = -32 + b
+32 +32
38 = b
So using our slope and our intercept we have our slope intercept
y = mx + b
y = 8x + 38
Hope this helps :)
