Answer:
The total amount without tax is $141.57
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the coupon is 10% off, they would only have to pay 90% of what they would before (this is before tax). To find out the total after the coupon you would find 90% of 157.30. (This is the longer but better explainable/showable way)
157.30 / 100 = 1.573 (this is 1%)
1.573 * 90 = 141.57
Therefore the answer is $141.57
9.14% is the number rounded to the nearest hundredth
Using the determinant method, the cross product is

so the answer is B.
Or you can apply the properties of the cross product. By distributivity, we have
(3i + 8j - 6k) x (-4i - 2j - 3k)
= -12(i x i) - 32(j x i) + 24(k x i) - 6(i x j) - 16(j x j) + 12(k x j) - 9(i x k) - 24(j x k) + 18(k x k)
Now recall that
- (i x i) = (j x j) = (k x k) = 0 (the zero vector)
- (i x j) = k
- (j x k) = i
- (k x i) = j
- (a x b) = -(b x a) for any two vectors a and b
Putting these rules together, we get
(3i + 8j - 6k) x (-4i - 2j - 3k)
= -32(-k) + 24j - 6k + 12(-i) - 9(-j) - 24i
= (-12 - 24)i + (24 + 9)j + (32 - 6)k
= -36i + 33j + 26k
