Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x + 12)° + (6x - 8)° = 180°
(5x + 12 + 6x - 8)° = 180°
(11x + 4)° = 180°
11x + 4 = 180
11x = 180- 4
11x = 176
x = 176/11
x = 16
The total cost for the entire life span of the deep fryer is computed below:
Brand P total cost =Purchase price + total electricity cost
= $144+($0.49x8x12x6)
=$426.24
Brand Q total cost =(Purchase price x 3)+ total electricity cost
=( $37.5x3)+($0.75x 8x12x6)
= $544.5
Difference = Brand Q-Brand P
=$544.5-$426.24
=$118.26
Robert will have to choose Brand P because it will be cheaper by $118.26 than Brand Q in their entire lifetime.
$48.32* (15/100)
= $7.25.
The final answer is $7.25~
