15) It is given that the charge of the waffle cone = $1.85
Charge per scoop of an ice cream = $0.60
Let C be the total cost.
So, total charge of one wafflce cone ice cream = charge of the waffle cone + (0.6 times number of scoops
C = 1.85 + 0.6x
16) To find the cost for 6 scoops of ice cream, put x = 6 in the above expression and simplify.
C = 1.85 + 0.6(6)
= 1.85 + 3.6
= 5.45
Hence, cost of 6 scoops of ice cream = $5.45.
This is a strange question, and f(x) may not even exist. Why do I say that? Well..
[1] We know that f(a+b) = f(a) + f(b). Therefore, f(0+0) = f(0) + f(0). In other words, f(0) = f(0) + f(0). Subtracting, we see, f(0) - f(0) = f(0) or 0 = f(0).
[2] So, what's the problem? We found the answer, f(0) = 0, right? Maybe, but the second rule says that f(x) is always positive. However, f(0) = 0 is not positive!
Since there is a contradiction, we must either conclude that the single value f(0) does not exist, or that the entire function f(x) does not exist.
To fix this, we could instead say that "f(x) is always nonnegative" and then we would be safe.

Percent means per 100
think cent as in 100 pennies in a dollar
To convert from percent to decimal, we divide by 100 or move the decimal over 2 spots, so,
15% = 15/100 = 0.15
Now multiply 0.15 by 850 to find the discount saved
0.15*850 = 127.50
So you'll save $127.50
The final price is therefore: 850-127.50 = 722.50
A shortcut is to multiply 850 by 0.85
850*0.85 = 722.50
We get the same answer
The 0.85 comes from the fact that if you get 15% off, then you pay 85% of the original price
Answer: $722.50
