Answer:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7\\4\\2\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D7%5C%5C4%5C%5C2%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
The answer is a single-column matrix (7,4,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
In such multiplication of matrices, you have to proceed by multiplying each ROW of the first matrix by the COLUMN of the second matrix. So,
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&6&1\end{array}\right] * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2\\0\\1\end{array}\right] = (3 * 2) + (6 * 0) + (1 * 1) = 6 + 0 + 1 = 7](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D3%266%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%2A%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%5C%5C0%5C%5C1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%283%20%2A%202%29%20%2B%20%286%20%2A%200%29%20%2B%20%281%20%2A%201%29%20%3D%206%20%2B%200%20%2B%201%20%3D%207)
then...
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&4&0\end{array}\right] * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2\\0\\1\end{array}\right] = (2 * 2) + (4 * 0) + (0 * 1) = 4 + 0 + 0 = 4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%264%260%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%2A%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%5C%5C0%5C%5C1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%282%20%2A%202%29%20%2B%20%284%20%2A%200%29%20%2B%20%280%20%2A%201%29%20%3D%204%20%2B%200%20%2B%200%20%3D%204)
and
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&6&2\end{array}\right] * \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2\\0\\1\end{array}\right] = (0 * 2) + (6 * 0) + (2 * 1) = 0 + 0 + 2= 2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D0%266%262%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%2A%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D2%5C%5C0%5C%5C1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%280%20%2A%202%29%20%2B%20%286%20%2A%200%29%20%2B%20%282%20%2A%201%29%20%3D%200%20%2B%200%20%2B%202%3D%202)
I hope it helps.
<h3>
Answer: Choice C) $1,444.50</h3>
========================================================
There are two methods to get the answer.
The slightly longer method is to take 7% of the original price to get
7% of 1350 = (7/100)*1350 = 0.07*1350 = 94.50
The sales tax is $94.50
Add this onto the original price to get 1,350+94.50 = 1,444.50
----------------------------
A shortcut is to multiply the original price by 1.07
The multiplier 1.07 represents a 7% increase since
- 1 = 100%
- 0.07 = 7%
- 1.07 = 1 + 0.7 = 100% + 7%
So we will have 1.07*1350 = 1,444.50
Add 5 to both sides of the equation.
x=-14+5
Add -14 and 5.
x=-9
