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.

The way Maria calculates the final price of the book is correct. We know that the book normally sells for $26.50 plus a 10% sales tax. We also know that the students will receive an additional 25% discount. We must understand that the sales tax is applied to the discounted price. So first we will calculate 25% of 26.50 and subtract it from that amount. So the price will then be: (26.50 - 6.625). The price is now $18.34. Then to calculate the tax, it will be (10% * 18.34), so 1.834. We add this amount to the discounted price so: (18.34+1.834) = 20.12.


The final price of the book is $20.12 and Maria can get it and still save a little money

a company donates 935 pencils to a school. the pencils are divided evenly among 9 classrooms. the rest of the pencils are given
wariber [46]
The problem deals with a division and the rest of it, that is dividing the total amount of pencils into 9 classrooms and the rest, lets express it as fraction:
935/9 = 103 + 8/9
that is, if we multiply 103*9 we get 927 and are 8 pencils left over, therefore, 8 pencils are donated to the library and each classroom gets 103 pencils, in total 935 pencils are donated.
