Chase is trying to calculate the total cost of the T-shirt that he's buying. Since it's on sale, he first found the amount of th

e discount and added that to the original price. Next, he subtracted off the amount of the sales tax. His total, though, is different than the sales clerk's total. What did Chase do wrong?
#He should have subtracted the discount.
#He should have added the sales tax.
#He should have subtracted the discount and added the sales tax.
#Nothing. The sales clerk has the wrong total.

Help please?

Answer:

He should have subtracted the discount and added the sales tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information is -

The T-shirt is on sale.

Chase first found the amount of the discount and added that to the original price. (This is wrong as discounts are always subtracted from the original price)  

Next, he subtracted off the amount of the sales tax. (Sales tax has to be always added to the final amount)

Lets take an example.

Suppose you bought a t shirt that had an original price of $50. It was on $20 discount and the sales tax was 5%. So, total bill will be :

New price = 50-20=30 dollars

Sales tax amount = 0.05\times30=1.50 dollars  

Total bill = 30+1.50=31.50 dollars

This is the correct way to calculate.

So, the correct option is -

He should have subtracted the discount and added the sales tax.

Find the equation of the line that passes thru (-1,-5) and is parallel to 3x+y=-5. Show work.
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

y=-3x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

Start with the given equation, and to find the slope, convert it to slope-intercept form by solving for y.

3x+y=-5

In this case, all you need to do is subtract 3x from both sides.

y=-3x-5

Here, the slope is -3. The slope of a parallel line will also be -3.

Now, we have 3 known variables. We have the slope and the x and y of a known point. Use those 3 knowns to solve for the 1 unknown, the y-intercept.

y=mx+b\\-5=(-3)(-1)+b\\-5=3+b\\-8=b\\b=-8

Finally, with the slope and the y-intercept, you can write the equation of the line:

y=-3x-8

Which route must use all of the vertices of a vertex-edge graph? (Check all that apply.)
zlopas [31]

An Euler path, in a graph or multi graph, is a walk through the graph which uses every edge exactly once. An Euler circuit is an Euler path which starts and stops at the same vertex. Our goal is to find a quick way to check whether a graph (or multi graph) has an Euler path or circuit.

100% of what number is 61
Dominik [7]

" 100% " means "the whole thing",
and "is" can be replaced by "is equal to".

You have said "The whole thing of a number is equal to 61."
or
                       "61 is equal to the whole thing of a number."

The only number that 61 can be equal to is 61.
