Answer: the original price of the shorts was $25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the original price of the shorts.
The store is having a sale in which all items are reduced by 20%. This means that the amount of discount on the shorts is
20/100 × x = 0.2x
The price of the shorts would be
x - 0.2x = 0.8x
If the sales tax is 5%, then the amount of sales tax charged is
5/100 × 0.8x = 0.04x
The final cost of the shorts would be
0.8x + 0.04x = 0.84x
Including tax, Jennifer paid $21 for a pair of shorts. This means that
0.84x = 21
x = 21/0.84
x = 25
Answer:
$8.50
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't know what Alls are, but if Carlos insists, we can calculate how much he can spend on Alls with the expression:
($31.50) + r 
$40
This says the sum of what Carlos has already spent (hot dogs and hamburgers) plus the amount he spends on Alls (rolls?), r, must be equal to or less than the $40 he has allowed himself to spend.
($31.50) + r $40
r $40 - $31.50
r $8.50
2. This question is basically asking you to factor 6x² - x - 12, so that one bracket is (2x - 3) and the other bracket is your answer. If you do factor 6x² - x - 12, you get (2x - 3)(3x + 4), so your answer would be J. 3x + 4.
4. Again you are factoring, so you would get your answer as (x + 3)(x - 2), which is answer F.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you would like me to show you how I factored :)
