Given:
price = 1,250
sales discount = 15%
sales tax = 6.5%
The problem is unclear whether the price is the original price or the discounted price. I am assuming that the price is the original price.
Original price times sales discount rate is the value of sales discount
1,250 x 15% = 187.50
Original price less the value of sales discount is the discounted price.
1,250 - 187.50 = 1,062.50
Discounted price times sales tax rate is the value of the sales tax
1,062.50 x 6.5% = 69.06
Discounted price plus sales tax is the total cost of the purchase
1,062.50 + 69.06 = 1,131.56
Answer:
The width of the rectangle is 20 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the ratio of length to width is 6:5, the width will be 5/6 of the length. To find 5/6 of 24, multiply 24/1 by 5/6 and simplify. (24/1 is the fraction form of 24 and makes solving the problem a little easier.)
— 24/1 * 5/6 = 120/6
— 120/6 = 20
The width of the rectangle is 20 inches.
The highest common factor of 5, 3, and 4 is 60, so therefore the lights will flash at the same time after 60 seconds.
