Lucas is offered either 15% or 21$ off his total shopping bill. How much would have to be spent to make 15% option the best one?

1 answer:

8 0

Assume that the amount of money that Lucas would have to spend is "x".

Now, Lucas is offered:
either 15% of his total shopping which can be written as 0.15x
or 21$

We want the 15% to be a better option, therefore:
0.15x > 21

Solve the inequality for x:
0.15x > 21
x > 21/0.15
x > 140

Therefore, for the 15% back to be a better option, Lucas has to spend more than $140

I don't understand how you find the value of expressions. Ex..<br> 5•[7+7÷(6+1)]+4•12

Alexxandr [17]

= [7+7 <span>÷ 7] + 4.12
= [7+1] + 4.12
= 8 + 4.12
= 12.12

$a = {5}^{x} \\ b = {5}^{y} \\ {a}^{y} \times {b}^{y} = 25 \\ prove \: ( {5}^{x} )^{y} \times ( {5}^{y} ) ^{x} = 25 \\ {5}^{xy} \times {5}^{yx} = {5}^{2} \\ {5 }^{xy + yx} = 5^{2} \\ 5^{2xy} = {5}^{2} \\ is \: \: 2xy = 2 \\ xy = \frac{2}{2} \\ xy = 1$
