Answer:

P(x)=0.085x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of the item be x

Discount = 20% of x

We know that 20%=\frac{20}{100}

Hence

Discount = 0.02x

Selling Price = x - 0.02x

Selling Price = 0.08x

Tax = 6.25% of Selling price

Tax = 0.0625*(0.08)x

Tax=0.005x

Net payment to be made = selling price + Tax

Net Payment = 0.08x+0.005x

Net payment = 0.085x

Hence we can write our function as

P(x)=0.085x

First, we subtract 20% of the amount from x, so the initial cost of the furniture should be 80% of x or 0.80x. Then, due to the sales taxs, this amount should be added with 6.25% of itself. Such that,
                                   A = 0.80x + 0.0625(0.80x)
                                       = 0.85x

4) You randomly select one card from a​ 52-card deck. Find the probability of selecting the 6 of hearts or the ace of diamonds.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

1/26

Step-by-step explanation:

There is only one 6 of hearts and only one ace of diamonds.

The probability of selecting the 6 of hearts is thus 1/52, and that of selecting the ace of diamonds is also 1/52.

The probability of selecting the 6 of hearts or the ace of diamonds is the SUM of these two results:  1/52 + 1/52 = 2/52 = 1/26.

Find the 12th term of the arithmetic sequence given a3=116 and a7=180<br>​
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

nth term = a +(n-1)d

a3 = 116 ;   a + 2d = 116 ---------(i)

a7 = 180;   a + 6d = 180 -------(ii)

multiply (ii) by -1. so a will be eliminated

           a + 2d = 116 ---------(i)

(ii)*-1    <u>-a - 6d = -180</u> -------(ii)   { Now add the two equations}

              - 4d = -64

                   d = -64/-4

                  d = 16

Plug in the value of d in equation (i),

a + 2*16 = 116

a + 32 = 116

        a = 116 - 32

        a = 84

12th term = 84 + 11* 16 = 84 + 176 = 260
