The total cost that will be paid by the family will be RM(15x - y).
<h3>How to calculate the cost?</h3>
The entrance fee to a circus for a child is RM(3x-y).
The entrance fee for an adult is RM(3x - y) + RM2y = 3x + y.
Therefore, the cost for 2 adults and three children will be:
= 2(3x + y) + 3(3x - y)
= 6x + 2y + 9x- 3y
= 15x - y

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of two consecutive even numbers is 38. What is the smaller number?
Lisa took a trip to Kuwait upon leaving she decided to convert all of her dinars back into dollars how many
The product of 68 and 21 would be 1,428.
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.
