Can ya help me with this question

If p represents the original price, which of the following expressions could be used to calculate the sale price of a shirt that

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

C & D

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do these two ways. You can multiply the cost of the the shirt by 15% (.15 as a decimal.) and then subtract that answer from the original price of the shirt to get the sales price of the shirt.

You can also multiply the price of the shirt by 85% (.85 as a decimal) and that will give you the sales price without having to subtract. 15% + 85% = 100%, so 85% represents the sales price of the shirt.

Anyway, since you multiply, you can eliminate choice A & B.

Since the direction in the question says to select all that apply, I would check both C & D.

C is the equation of the first way I talked about- Price - 15% * price

C p - 0.15p

D is the equation of the second way I talked about. Price times 85%

D 0.85p

Sophia buys a certain brand of cereal that costs $5 per box. Yani changes to a super-saving brand of the same size. The equation

koban [17]

$ 0.65 more dollars is the price of a box Sophia's original brand of cereal than the price of a box of the super-saving cereal

Amount saved each month with the change in cereal brand if he buys 5 cereal boxes each month is $ 3.25

Solution:

Given that Sophia buys a certain brand of cereal that costs $5 per box

The equation shows the price, y, as a function of the number of boxes, x, for the new brand:

y = 4.35x

Part A:

New brand, y = 4.35x where y is the price and x is the number of boxes

Original brand, y = 5x since given that cereal that costs $5 per box

If Sophia old cereal preference was $5, and the equation shows that the new cereal preference is $4.35, if I subtract the amount of the new one from the old,

we get , 5 - 4.35 = 0.65

Therefore, $ 0.65 more dollars is the price of a box Sophia's original brand of cereal than the price of a box of the super-saving cereal

Part B:

Given that if he buys 5 cereal boxes, let us calculate price for old and new brand

New brand, y = 4.35x

New brand, y = 4.35(5) = 21.75

Original brand, y = 5x = 5(5) = 25

Amount saved = $ 25 - $ 21.75 = $ 3.25

Thus amount saved each month with the change in cereal brand if he buys 5 cereal boxes each month is $ 3.25
