The price las week was $ 4.99 and it got a discount of 15% for this week, this means that the price for this week is 100% of the one prior minus 15%, therefore it is 85% of the last price. We need to calculate the price per pound with this discount as shown below:

$\text{this week} = \text{last week}*\frac{95}{100}\\\\\text{this week} = 4.99*0.95 = 4.74 \text{ per pound}\\$

Since the price is $4.74 per pound and we want to buy 3.75 pounds, then the total amount we need to pay is:

$\text{total amount} = 3.75*4.74 = 17.775$

The price for 3.75 pounds of cherries is $17.775.

Simplify (8m2+m+7m2)-(3m-4m3+2m2)

kondaur [170]

$(8m^2+m+7m^2)-(3m-4m^3+2m^2)\\\\=8m^2+m+7m^2-3m+4m^3-2m^2\qquad|\text{combine like terms}\\\\=(4m^3)+(8m^2+7m^2-2m^2)+(m-3m)\\\\=4m^3+13m^2-2m$
