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

Given limit of f (x) = 4 as x approaches 0. what is limit of one-fourth left-bracket f (x) right-bracket superscript 4 baseline
Otrada [13]

The limit of the given function if \lim_{x \to 0} f(x)=4 is 64

<h3>Limit of a function</h3>

Given the following limit of a function expressed as;

\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)=4

We are to determine the value of the function

\frac{1}{4}  \lim_{x \to 0} [f(x)]^4


This can also be expressed as

\frac{1}{4}  \lim_{x \to 0} [f(x)]^4\\ = \frac{1}{4}(4)^4 \\=1/4\times 256\\=64

Hence the limit of the given function if \lim_{x \to 0} f(x)=4 is 64

Leiff goes online to buy a new video game. He finds a site that currently has a promotion of 15% off on all orders over $50. Lei
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

$119.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Leiff decides to buy his video game, with a price tag of $128, at this site

he will get the 15% discount when he checks out.

100-15= 85%

Discounted price=85% of 128 is 0.85 \cdot 128=108.8

Leiff pays 5.3% sales tax on the discounted price

5.3% is 0.053

sales tax amount=0.053 times 108.8=5.7664

So we add the sales tax amount and shipping fee

108.8+5.7664+4.75=119.32

So $119.32 is the total amount
