CRINGE
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok ngl BIG BIG CRINGE
To find the value of x we first need to find the missing angle in the triangle.
To do that we are gonna add the angles we already have.
64 + 45 = 109
Angles in a triangle measures 180 so to get the missing angle we are gonna subtract 109 from 180
180 - 109 = 71 deg
The missing angle in the triangle is 71 deg
Angles on a straight line adds up to 10 so to find x we are gonna subtract 71 from 180
180 - 71 = 109 degrees
Therefore x is 109 degrees.
C) (0.85 + x/100)(250+145) does not give the correct answer.
Explanation
A) works; adding the two costs together is 250+145=395. We multiply this by 0.85 because 100%-15%=85%=0.85. We also have x% tax, which is represented by x/100, added to 100% of the value, or 1.00. Altogether this gives us
395(0.85)(1+x/100) = 395(0.85 + (0.85x/100)) = 395(0.85) + 395(0.85x/100)
= 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x)
B) works; we have 250+145 for the original price; we have 85% = 0.85 of the value; we also have 100% + x%, which is (100+x)/100.
C) does not work; (0.85+x/100)(395) does not take into consideration that you are finding the tax after taking the 85%. This will simplify out to
0.85*395 + (x/100)(395) = 335.75 + 395x/100 = 335.75 + 3.95x, which is too much.
D) works; simplifying the expression from A, we have 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x) = 335.75 + 3.3575x.
