First you would take the discount so 5% of 12 is .6 so 12-.60 is $11.40
then the sales tax would be 6% of 11.40 which would be $12.08 for the end total

Discount of 5
6% tax

100-5=95
100+6=106

12*0.95*1.06=12.084

the price is $12.08

Well he buys two books at a bookstore. He spent $44.52 after 6% sales tax is applied, but the clerk does not provide him with th

mart [117]

Let x represent the cost of book B

Book A: $17.50

Book B: x

Sales tax: (A + B) x 6% = .06(17.50 + x) = 1.05 + .06x

book A + book B + sales tax = total cost

(17.50) + (x) + (1.05 + .06x) = 44.52 plugged in all of the values

18.55 + 1.06x = 44.52 added like terms

1.06x = 25.97 subtracted 18.55 from both sides

x = 24.50 divided 1.06 from both sides

Answer: $24.50

A box contains 5 red balls, 6 white balls and 9 black balls. Two balls are drawn at

valina [46]

Answer:

$P(Same)=\frac{61}{190}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Red = 5$

$White = 6$

$Black = 9$

Required

The probability of selecting 2 same colors when the first is not replaced

The total number of ball is:

$Total = 5 + 6 + 9$

$Total = 20$

This is calculated as:

$P(Same)=P(Red\ and\ Red) + P(White\ and\ White) + P(Black\ and\ Black)$

So, we have:

$P(Same)=\frac{n(Red)}{Total} * \frac{n(Red) - 1}{Total - 1} + \frac{n(White)}{Total} * \frac{n(White) - 1}{Total - 1} + \frac{n(Black)}{Total} * \frac{n(Black) - 1}{Total - 1}$
