$38.00 x 0.25= $9.50
$38.00 - $9.50= $28.75
$28.75 x 0.06= $1.725
$28.75 + $1.73= $30.48

Answer:

The total amount customer pays for the discounted book is $ 30.21 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

A customer buys a different book that has an original selling price of $38.

The book is discounted 25%.

25% is written in the decimal form

=\frac{25}{100}

= 0.25

Discount amount = 0.25 × Selling price of the books

                            = 0.25 × 38

                            = $ 9.5

Cost of the books after getting discount of 25% = Selling price of the books - Discount amount

                                                                                = $ 38 - $ 9.5

                                                                                = $ 28.5

As given

The customer must pay a 6% sales tax on the discounted price of the book.

6% is written in the decimal form

= \frac{6}{100}

= 0.06

Sales tax amount = 0.06 × Cost of the books after getting discount of 25% .

                             = 0.06 × 28.5

                             = $ 1.71

Thus

Total amount pays by the customer for the books = Sales tax amount + Cost of the books after getting discount of 25%.

                                                                                   = $ 1.71 + $ 28.5

                                                                                   = $ 30.21

Therefore the total amount customer pays for the discounted book is $ 30.21 .

slega [8]
1 kg = 0.001 metric tons..so 14327 kg = (14327 * 0.001) = 14.327 metric tons
and if 1 metric tons saves 17 trees....then 14.327 tons saves : 14.327 * 17 = 243.559 saved trees...and since u cant have 0.559 trees, u would round to 243 trees

Which of the following is an asymptote of y = sec(x)?
babunello [35]
Answer: option d. x = 3π/2

Solution:

function y = sec(x)

1) y = 1 / cos(x)

2) When cos(x) = 0, 1 / cos(x) is not defined

3) cos(x) = 0 when x = π/2, 3π/2, 5π/2, 7π/2, ...

4) limit of sec(x) = lim of 1 / cos(x).

When x approaches π/2, 3π/2, 5π/2, 7π/2, ... the limit →+/- ∞.

So, x = π/2, x = 3π/2, x = 5π/2, ... are vertical asymptotes of sec(x).

Answer: 3π/2

The figures attached will help you to understand the graph and the existence of multiple asymptotes for y = sec(x).
