Answer:

  $30.57

Step-by-step explanation:

Your budget requires ...

  ((jacket cost) + (shorts cost)) × 1.07 ≤ $60

Dividing by 1.07, we get ...

  (jacket cost) + (shorts cost) ≤ $56.07

Subtracting the jacket cost, we have ...

  (shorts cost) ≤ $56.07 -25.50

  (shorts cost) ≤ $30.57

The maximum price tag is $30.57.

Which are the solutions of the quadratic equation? x2 = 9x + 6
Lelechka [254]
X^2 = 9x + 6
x^2 - 9x - 6 = 0
use quadratic formula : (-b (+-) sqrt b^2 - 4ac) / (2a)
a = 1, b = -9, c = -6
now we sub

x = (-(-9) (+-) sqrt -9^2 - 4(1)(-6)) / 2(1)
x = 9 (+-) sqrt 81 + 24)/2
x = 9 (+-) sqrt 105) / 2
x = 9/2 + 1/2 sqrt 105 or x = 9/2 - 1/2 sqrt 105

A new shirt costs $14.99. If the shirt in sale for 1/5 off its price, about much would you save. SOLUTION PLS
Tasya [4]

Answer:

As per the given condition:

A new shirt costs $14.99.

If the shirt has a sale for \frac{1}{5} off its price.

Now, we find how much you save on this shirt:

First find the \frac{1}{5} of $14.99

i.e,  

\frac{1}{5} \times \$14.99 = \frac{\$14.99}{5} =\$ 2.998

⇒ you have the discounted value is $ 3 .

You pay for the shirt is: $14.99 -$ 2.998 = $11.992

Therefore, you would save $2.998 or $ 3 in buying your new shirt.
