Serhud [2]4 years ago

Answer:

$260

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual price + 8% of actual price=$280.80

Let x= actual price

8% of actual price=8/100 of x

=0.08x

x + 0.08x=$280.80

1.08x=$280.80

x=$280.80/1.08

x=$260

Price of the jacket before sales tax=$260

Check:

8% sales tax of $260

=8% of $260

=8/100×$260

=0.08×$260

=$20.8

Purchasing price= actual price+ sales tax

=$260+$20.8

=$280.80

Latisha works x hours each day. Demetrius works 1 more hour each day than Latisha.
snow_tiger [21]

The expressions that can be used to calculate both numbers of hours Demetrius works in 5-day work week is 5(x + 1)  and 5x + 5

We are being told that Latisha works x hours each day and Demetrius works 1 more hour each day than Latisha.

So,

  • Let the amount of works done by Latisha be = x
  • Then, the amount of works done by Demetrius will be = x + 1

Thus, the both expression that can determine the number of hours Demetrius works in five days is:

= 5(x + 1)  and 5x + 5

This is because if we open the bracket from 5(x+1) and multiply each term in the bracket with 5, we end up having 5x + 5.

  • 5 times open paren x plus 1 close paren and 5 x plus 5 is correct.

Sue Jones is insured for bodily injury in the amount of 10/20. She is at fault in an accident in which Albert Smith is injured.
Vlad1618 [11]
What you must do is add up the total amount of medical expenses:
 Albert's medical expenses total $ 12,000
 Sam's come to $ 8,000
 Adding we have:
 $ 12,000 + $ 8,000 = $ 20,000
 Sue Jones is insured for the amount of 10/20
 So:
 (10/20) * (20000) = 10000
 answer
 The insurance will pay $ 10,000
