The answer is $36.94. You add up the total purchases, multiply them by .06, then add that number to you total purchases.

Answer:

$36.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so. This is what we do. There is two magazines and they cost 9.95 each multiply 9.95 times 2

9.95 x 2 = 19.90

Okay, then he buys a book for 14.95 we add 19.9. and 14.95

19.90 + 14.95 = 34.85

Then we have a sales tax of 6% we would multiply 34.85 time 6%

34.85 x 6% = 2.09

Then we would add. 34.85 + 2.09

34.85 + 2.09 = 36.94

Therefore your answer is $36.94

Hope this helps!!!

What is the value of n in the equation 1/2(n – 4) – 3 = 3 – (2n + 3)?

Travka [436]

Distribute 1/2 to <span>(n – 4):

</span> $\frac{1}{2} \times n = \frac{1}{2}n$
$\frac{1}{2} \times -4 = -2$
<span>
Subtract (2n + 3):

</span> $- (2n + 3) = -2n -3$
<span>
Your equation should now look like this:

</span> $\frac{1}{2}n - 2 - 3 = 3 - 2n - 3$
<span>
Combine like terms on both sides:

</span> $-2 - 3 = -5$
$3 - 3 = 0$
$\frac{1}{2}n - 5 = -2n$
<span>
Subtract 1/2n from both sides:

</span> $-5 = -\frac{5}{2}n$
<span>
Divide both sides by -5/2 to get n by itself:

</span> $n = 2$
<span>
The value of n is 2.</span>

A pitcher of fruit punch holes 2 gallons of nine people share the entire pitcher equally how much punch does each person get?

Katen [24]

Well, first you must divide the amount of gallons by the amount of people.
2/9 = 2/9 gallons which would be about 3.5 cups.

(Personally I would do 2/9 cups)

2) Brian purchased pens for 75 cents each and pencils for 40 cents each he bought total of 22 writing utensils for $11.95. How m

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

13 pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the pens and y be the pencils

Given:

Brian purchased pens for 75 cents each and pencils for 40 cents each he bought total of 22 writing utensils for $11.95.

Total pens and pencils is 22

So, $x+y=22$ ----------------(1)

And he bought all utensils for $11.95. and each pen for 75 cents and pencils for 40 cents.

$0.75x+0.40y=11.95$ ------------(2)

solve equation 1 and equation 2 for x and y.

From equation 1.

$x+y=22$

$y=22-x$ ----------------(3)

put y value in equation 2.

$0.75x+0.4(22-x)=11.95$

$0.75x+0.4\times 22-0.4x=11.95$

$0.75x+8.8-0.4x=11.95$

$0.75x-0.4x=11.95-8.8$

$0.35x=3.15$

$x=\frac{3.15}{0.35}$

$x=9$

Now substitute x value in equation 3.

$y=22-9$

$y=13$

So, he buy 13 pencils.
