Complete question:

Joelwants to buy a new tablet computer from a store having a 20% off sale on all tablet. The tablet he wants has an original cost of $190. He also wants to make sure he has enough money to pay the 5% sales tax.

Answer:

$159.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Sales tax = 5%

Percentage discount = 20%

Original cost = $190

Joel's incorrect expression : 0.95(190)(0.8)

Joel's mistake is the 0.95 which is equivalent to 95% used in Calculating the total cost of the computer. The sales tax increases the total cost of the computer and instead of subtracting 5% sales tax, it should be added.

B.) 20% discount = 0.2 will be deducted from 100%(1)

1 - 0.2 = 0.8

5% sales tax = 0.05 will be added :

1 + 0.05 = 1.05

Original cost = $190

Therefore,

Total cost : Original cost * sales tax * discount

Total cost = $190 * 1.05 * 0.8

Total cost = $159.60

insens350 [35]

The answer is 34.4 percent because you divide 1000 by 10 and get 100. Then you divide 344 by 10 to get 34.4% so this is the answer because it is out of 100 now.

marin [14]

Answer:

<u>The surface area of the tower is 5,218.1 m²</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Height of the blueprint = 47 cm

Length of the blueprint = 23 cm

Width of the blueprint = 25 cm

Scale factor 1 : 96

2. Calculate the actual surface area of the tower and enter your answer in square meters with two decimal places.

Let's calculate the measurements of the actual tower:

Height of the blueprint = 47 * 96 = 4,512 cm = 45.12 m

Length of the blueprint = 23 * 96 = 2,208 cm = 22.08 m

Width of the blueprint = 25 * 96 = 2,400 cm = 24 m

Now, let's calculate the surface area of the tower, this way:

Surface area of the tower = 2* (24 * 22.08) + 2 * (45.12 * 22.08) + 2 * (45.12 * 24)

Surface area of the tower = 1,059.84 + 1,992.5 + 2,165.76

<u>Surface area of the tower = 5,218.1 m²</u>
