Alex and Lara have $21.00 each to spend at a book fair, where all students receive a 35%; discount. They both want to purchase a

copy of the same book, which normally sells for $28.50 plus 10% sales tax. To check if he has enough to purchase the book, Alex takes 35% of $28.50 and subtracts that amount from the normal price. He takes 10% of the discounted selling price and adds it back to find the purchase amount. Lara takes 65% of the normal purchase price and then computes 110% of the reduced price. Is Alex correct? Is Lara correct? Do they have enough money to purchase the book? Explain your answer using complete sentences. Be sure to show your calculations for determining the final cost of the book for each student.

If sin150=1/2 then find sin75
Darya [45]

Sin75° = Sin(30° + 45°)

= Sin30°.Cos45° + Sin45°.Cos30°

= 1/2 . √2/2 + √2/2.√3/2

= √2/2 ( 1/2 + √3/2 )

= √2/2 ((1+√3 ) /2 )

= (√2 + √6 )/ 4

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The total amount a member pays for an item with a regular price of x dollars is T (x) = 0.963<em>x</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Key points:

  • Discount is subtracted from the regular price of an item.
  • Sales tax is added to the regular price of an item.

It is provided that the customers receive a 10% discount if they are members and all customers must pay 7% in sales tax.

Two functions are provided are:

f (x) = 0.90<em>x </em>; the price of an item after the 10% member discount

g (x) = 1.07<em>x </em>; the total amount customers pay for a purchase after sales tax is applied.

Compute the total amount a member pays for an item with a regular price of x dollars as follows:

T (x) = Discount × Sales Tax

       = 0.90 × 1.07 × <em>x</em>

       = 0.963<em>x</em>.

Thus, the total amount a member pays for an item with a regular price of x dollars is T (x) = 0.963<em>x</em>.

I have two fair spinners. The first has the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4. The second has the numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5. I spin both spinner
Snezhnost [94]

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 * 4 = 16 outcomes from spinning these spinners. You get an odd number by multiplying an odd number by an odd number. Since there are 2 odd numbers on both spinners the successful outcomes are 2 * 2 = 4 so probability is 4 / 16 = 1 / 4.
