Just did one just like it
688.32 = x + .043 x + .0325 x = 1.0755 x
x = 688.32/1.0755 = $640.00
Answer: $640.00
Check: 640(1+.043+.0325)= 688.32 good
3 is 300,000 in 345,268.19
Answer:
Convert into same base
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert both sides into same bases and equate the powers to solve for the variable.
Example:
8^x = 32
You can either use logs to bring the power down or convert both sides into the same base
8 = 2³
8^x = (2³)^x = 2^(3x)
32 = 2⁵
2^(3x) = 2⁵
3x = 5
x = 5/3
x = 1⅔
Answer:
$199.50
Step-by-step explanation:
10% discount of $34 = 10/100*34 = $3.40
so, a single shirt costs $34-$3.40 = $30.60
half off = 50% discount of $31 = 50/100*31 = $15.50
so, a single cap costs $31-$15.50 = $15.50
so, 5 shirts and 3 caps cost now
5*$30.60 + 3*$15.50 = $153 + $46.50 = $199.50
but careful - can this be a trick question ?
the phrasing of the problem description can also suggest that the discounts are only listed to confuse us and are already included in the mentioned prices ("worth" $34 - what does that mean ? because including the discounts they are currently "worth" their prices).
then it would just plainly be
5*$34 + 3*$31 = $170 + $93 = $263
