rice.
Using t as the list price of the tablet, write two different expressions representing the discounted price.

B. Explain how each expression represents the discounted price.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Cost = T - (15/100) * T

Cost = (85/100)*T

Part B

You are asked to take 15% off the cost of something. The first equation is very clear how to do that -- just take 15% of T away from T

The second part is not so obvious if you are not familiar with it, but the result will be the same.

Start with the first equation

Cost = T - (15/100) T  Change 1 T to 100 / 100

Cost = 100*T/100T - 15/100T

Cost = 85 /100 * T

Part C

Cost = Phone - 14            at Top quality.     Red in Graph below

Cost = 75/100 * Phone    at Big value.        Blue in Graph belos

The graph below is a good way to answer this. I won't solve it algebraically when the graph will give you a much better idea which phone to get.

Answer: Up to a phone cost of 55 dollars, the red phone is the better buy.

After 55$ the blue phone is better.

Try this with a couple of values for phone,

There are 35 students in a drama club two out of every five boys in the club are boys how much diamonds in the club are boys
andrew11 [14]

Given:

Number of students = 35

Two out of every five boys in the club are boys.

To find:

The number of students in the club that are boys.

Solution:

Two out of every five boys in the club are boys. It means, the ratio of boys to the total number of student is 2:5.

Let the number of boys be 2x and number of students be 5x.

According to the question,

5x=35

x=7

Now, the number of boys is

2x=2(7)

2x=14

Therefore, 14 students in the club are boys.
