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

A time/motion word problem
andriy [413]
The two planes are flying on the two legs of a right triangle.
The straight distance between them is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Since the speeds are in mph, let's work the time in hours.
Call the time 'H' that we're looking for.
It's the number of hours after they both take off that they're 650 miles apart.

After 'H' hours, the first plane has gone 500H miles north.
After 'H' hours, the second plane has gone 1200H miles east.
After 'H' hours, they are 650 miles apart.

Do you remember this for a right triangle ? ==>    A² + B² = C²

(500H)² + (1200H)² = (650)²

250,000H² + 1,440,000H² = 422,500

1,690,000 H² = 422,500

H² = (422,500) / (1,690,000) = 0.25

H = √0.25 = 1/2 hour = 30 minutes
