Six books at 8 dollars each is equivalent to $48.00

You are only paying 80% of that cost (100%-20%)

Therefore you are multiplying 48 by .8 

Your answer should be equal to $38.40

Answer:  Alex paid $38.4 for the books.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Alex bought six books priced at $8 each and he got a discount of 20% off the total cost.

We are to find the amount paid by Alex for the books.

We have

Price of 1 book = $8.

So, price of 6 books = $ (8 × 6) = $ 48.

After a discount of 20%, the cost of 6 books will be

C_d\\\\=48-20\%\times48\\\\\\=48-\dfrac{20}{100}\times48\\\\=48-\dfrac{48}{5}\\\\=48-9.6\\\\=38.4.

Thus, Alex paid $38.4 for the books.

Direct Variation.<br>¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

y = 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

direct variation

y =kx

substitute in what we know to find k

1/2 = k*3

solve for k

divide by 3

1/2 /3 = k

1/6 = k

substitute k into the direct variation equation

y = 1/6 x

let x = 1

y = 1/6 *1

y = 1/6

What is k+3 3/4 = 5 2/3 - 1 1/3
zhenek [66]
K+3 3/4=5 2/3-1 1/3
k+3 3/4=4 1/3
lets find the lcm first then multiply both sides by it but first change it to improper fraction
LCM is  12

[k+15/4]=[13/3]12
12k+45=52
12k=7
k=7/12

Laura goes to a bank and opens a new account. She deposits $5,500. The bank pays 1. 6% interest compounded annually on this acco
HACTEHA [7]

The amount that is the closest to the account balance at the end of 4 years is given by: Option B: $5,860. 53 (approx)

<h3>How to calculate compound interest's amount?</h3>

If the initial amount (also called as principal amount) is P, and the interest rate is R% per unit time, and it is left for T unit of time for that compound interest, then the interest amount earned is given by:

CI = P(1 +\dfrac{R}{100})^T - P

The final amount becomes:

A = CI + P\\A = P(1 +\dfrac{R}{100})^T

For the considered case, we're given that:

  • Initial amount Laura deposited = $5,500 = P
  • Type of interest: Compound interest
  • Unit of time: Annually
  • Rate of interest = 1.6% annually = R
  • Total unit of time for which amount is to be calculated: 4 years = T

The final amount at the end of 4 years in the considered account of Laura is evaluated as:

A = 5500(1 + \dfrac{1.6}{100})^4 = 5500(1.016)^4  \approx 5860.53 \: \rm (in \:  dollars)

Thus, he amount that is the closest to the account balance at the end of 4 years is given by: Option B: $5,860. 53 (approx)
