alex and Lara have $21.00 each to spend at a book fair, where all students receive a 35% discount. They both want to purchase a

copy of the same book, which normally sells for $28.50 plus 10% sales tax. To check if he has enough to purchase the book, Alex takes 35% of $28.50 and subtracts that amount from the normal price. He takes 10% of the discounted selling price and adds it back to find the purchase amount. Lara takes 65% of the normal purchase price and then computes 110% of the reduced price. Is Alex correct? Is Lara correct? Do they have enough money to purchase the book? Explain your answer using complete sentences, and show your work.

Alex is correct the book would cost $18.52 before taxes adding 10% tax the book would cost an additional $1.85 for a total of $20.37. This would be just under the $21.00 that both Alex and Laura had to spend. Laura tried to combined the 35% discount which you cannot do. So yes they both would be able to purchase the book.

How to do similar shapes.
Lynna [10]
Similar shapes are just shapes that have the same proportions and relative size. For example, a square that's 4 x 4 and a square that's 2 x 2. Although one's smaller, they are both the similar shapes.

Factor to find the zeros of the function defined by the quadratic expression. −7x2 − 91x − 280
Mariulka [41]
There are no zeroes for an expression, only for equations.
Assuming equation to be
<span>−7x^2 − 91x − 280=0
-7(x^2+13x+40)=0
-7(x+8)(x+5)=0
by the zero product properties, 
x+8=0 => x=-8
or 
x+5=0 => x=-5</span>
