T = 5.34 + 0.78m
T = 5.34 + 0.78 * 5
T = 5.34 + 3.9
T = 9.24
Tina was charged $9.24 at the car wash for 5 minutes.
This sets up as a very commonly used proportion.
90 oz / 18.95 = 1 oz / x Cross multiply
90 x = 18.95 Divide by 90
x = 18.95 / 90
x = 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
So each ounce of shampoo costs 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
This is a very handy way to check best deals. Stores have trained us for years to believe that the more we buy of a brand, the better the price. It isn't always true. Sometimes buying the smaller quantity is the better deal. There is only one way to be sure and that's to do a proportion like this one.
Try this is an example. The same company makes a smaller container of shampoo of 45 oz for 9.15. How much is 1 oz and which is the better deal? You should get 0.20333 dollars so this is marginally (just) the better deal.
Answer:
£ 12,150
Step-by-step explanation:
Marked price of bicycle = £ 12500
Rebate = 10%
Amount of rebate = 12500*10/100 = £1250
Rebated price = 12500 - 1250 = £ 11,250
Tax = 8%
Amount of tax = 11250*8/100 = £ 900
Total amount paid for bicycle = Rebated price + amount of tax
= £ 11,250 + £ 900
= £ 12,150
We know that for all B:
![\csc\text{B}\in(-\infty,-1]\cup[1,\infty)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ccsc%5Ctext%7BB%7D%5Cin%28-%5Cinfty%2C-1%5D%5Ccup%5B1%2C%5Cinfty%29)
So the answer is 0,5 (b.)
