whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.
so the socket set has a 40% off, what is 40% of 36? well, is just (40/100) * 36, or 14.4, that's the discount, so the sale price is 36 - 14.4, or 21.6.
plus the 8.25% taxation, what is 8.25% of 21.6? well, is just (8.25/100) * 21.6, or 1.782.
so the total price is 21.6 + 1.782, or 23.382, or about 23 bucks and 38 cents.
The remainder is 5/x+2
Explanation: full equation is 2x^3-x^2+2x-5+(5/x+2)
X = 0.6x + 384 |subtract 0.6x from both sides
0.4x = 384 |divide both sides by 0.4
x = 960
The rate of change is
(2- (-1))/ (3/2-(-4)) => 3 / (11/2)
that is equal to 6/11 so almost 1/2
