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.

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

D. 15,040(1.21)t ≤ 100,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The 15,040 is the prior electricity, and it increases by .21 per hour, and you don't want 100,000

To make an equation, use the simple interest formula (same concept)

Total = Amount(1 + rate) time

fill it out

100,000 >= 15,040(1.21)t

This equation is the same as D so D is the answer
