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

Any number with 9 in the ten-thousands place. 90,000 is one such number.

The 9 in 39,154 is in the thousands place. Its value is 9,000. In order for the 9 in a number to have a value 10 times that, or 90,000, the 9 must be in the ten-thousands place.

1. The weekly ad for a local grocery store advertises a 5 pound bag of organic apples for $13.95. Round each rate to the nearest
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

a)

$2.79 per pound.

$0.93 per apple.

b)

Unit price per pound is typically used because weight and size of every      apple is not same.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 pound bag of organic apples = $13.95

1 pound bag of organic apples = $13.95/5

                                                   = $2.79

The unit price of apples that cost $13.95 for 5 pounds is $12.79 per pound.

<em>As a general rule, 1 pound of apples is equal to: 4 small apples. 3 medium apples. 2 large apples. So, here we assume that apples are of medium size.</em>

3 apples cost = $2.79

<em>The unit price means 'what is the cost of 1 apple'</em>

1 apple cost    =$2.79/3

                       =$0.93

The unit price of apples that cost $2.79 for 3apples is $0.93 per apple.
