Maria and Edwin have $23.00 each to spend at a book fair, where all students receive a 25% discount. They both want to purchase

a copy of the same book, which normally sells for $26.50 plus 10% sales tax. To check if she has enough to purchase the book, Maria takes 25% of $26.50 and subtracts that amount from the normal price. She takes 10% of the discounted selling price and adds it back to find the purchase amount. Edwin takes 75% of the normal purchase price and then computes 110% of the reduced price. Is Maria correct? Is Edwin correct? Do they have enough money to purchase the book? Explain your answer using complete sentences and show your work help plzz

They're both right. Finding 75% and adding 10% is the same as subtracting 25% and adding 10%.

How do i solve <br> −4(m+6)=−8
geniusboy [140]

Answer: -4 (m + 6) = -8

We can use the distributive property for the first half of the equation.

-4 × m = -4m    

-4 × 6 = -24

-4m - 24 = -8

Now we add 24 on bothe side sof the equation to get -4m by itself.

-4m - 24 + 24 = -8 + 24

Now we get -4m = 16

Divide -4 on both sides to get m by itself

-4m/-4 = 16/-4 

Simplify and we get m = -4

Equation for, One half the sum of 8 and x
Ahat [919]

Answer:

\frac{8 + x}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to write 8 + x, but since it's half of that we write it as a fraction with a 2 on the bottom to halve it.
