I believe the correct answer is 2.
<u>Answer</u>
c. buying it at a 10 percent discount without sales tax.
<u>Explanation</u>
We are going to compare the 3 choices and then determine the most cost effective.
<em>a. using a paid membership card to buy it at a 10 percent discount.</em>
10% of $100 = 10/100×100 = $10
cost = $100 - $10 = $90
On top of this $90 there is the charges of the membership card.
<em> b. buying it online at a 10 percent discount with a $5 shipping charge.</em>
100%-10% = 90%
90% of 100 = $90
Cost: $90 + $5 = $95
<em>c. buying it at a 10 percent discount without sales tax.</em>
100% - 10% = 90%
90/100 × 100 = $90. This is the must cost effective method since there is no other cost involved.
Answer:
The age of the horse, in human years, when Alex was born can be determined by simply deducting the Current age of Alex from the Current age of the horse in human years.
Therefore, the age of the horse, in human years, when Alex was born was 42 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Current age of Alex = 8
Current age of the horse in human years = 50
Since the age of the horse is already stated in human years, it implies there is no need to convert the age of the horse again.
Therefore, since Alex is a human who was born 8 years ago, the age of the horse, in human years, when Alex was born can be determined by simply deducting the Current age of Alex from the Current age of the horse in human years as follows:
The age of the horse, in human years, when Alex was born = 50 - 8 = 42
Therefore, the age of the horse, in human years, when Alex was born was 42 years.
This can be presented in a table as follows:
Age of Alex Age of the Horse (in human years)
Eight years ago 0 42
Current age 8 50
Step-by-step explanation:
Molly ran 1/4 of a mile in 1 minute, i.e.
1/4 mile : 1 minute
Multiply both sides by 4 to get time for one mile
1 mile : 4 minutes
Multiply by 4 again to get time for 4 miles
4 miles = 4*4 = 16 minutes.
So it takes Molly 16 minutes to run four miles.
