Answer:
$5.40
Step-by-step explanation:
First, figure out the cost of the items with tax; for Tommy we have 20*0.08 = 1.6, add that 1.6 to the 20 and his purchase is $21.6, for John we have 25*0.08 = 2, add 2 to his 25 and his purchase is $27. To find the difference we subtract 27-21.6 = 5.4 or $5.40
Step-by-step explanation:
the total cost is, of course, first the cost to buy the copier, and then the running costs per copy made.
it is really that easy.
the equations just put this into mathematical form :
A
y = 0.02×x + 800
B
y = 0.06×x + 600
please notice, we put $600 or $800 in as constant term, because these costs are the starting costs that we have, even if we never make a single copy (x = 0).
and then the total cost goes up with every copy we make.
I cannot draw here.
so, to find the number of copies where both copier systems would cost the same, means we have to say both equating deliver the same result :
0.02×x + 800 = 0.06×x + 600
200 = 0.04×x
x = 200 / 0.04 = 5000
when making 5000 copies both costs are the same.
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number be x
and according to question,
six + 2 times a number = 2x + 6
26 + 6 times a number = 6x + 26
→ 2x + 6 = 6x + 26
→ -6x + 2x = 26 - 6
→ -4x = 20
→ x = 20/4 = 5
→ x = 5
therefore, the number is 5.
hope this answer helps you dear...take care and may u have a great day ahead!
28.6 / 89.4 = 0.75 / x
cross multiply
28.6x = 67.05
x = 67.05 / 28.6
x = 2.34 <==
