Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A) 5x = 3(x - 2.5)
-----------------------
B)
Distribute
5x = 3x - 7.5
Subtract 3x from both sides
2x = -7.5
Divde both sides by 2
x = -3.75
-----------------------
C)
5 * (-3.75) = 3(-3.75 - 2.5)
-18.75 = -18.75
D)
Tanya paid –$3.75 for each of 5 items
Tony paid –$6.25 for each of 3 items
There seems to be an error in the question since the cost of items is negative
Tony bought fewer items and paid less for each.
RHS
=4x-27/0
=not defined=0
LHS
=x-2x+3x+4/7=2x+4/7=(14x+4)/7= 14x+4.
14x=-4
x=-4/14
X=-2/7
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you are saving 25%, you are still paying 75%, right? So the cost of the TV with a discount of 25% is 192.74(.75) which is $144.56
That's the cost of the TV on sale. Now we need to find the sales tax amount, if the sales tax is .05 as a decimal. We are paying $144.56 for the TV, which is 100% of the cost. On top of that, we are paying another 5%. So altogether, for the TV, we are paying 105% of the TV. Therefore,
144.56(1.05) = $151.79
Edit: Bottom left is correct.
