Answer:

$107.10

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of the CD player is $120 and we need to take 15% off.

We can find how much we need to subtract by multiplying 120 by .15, which equals 18. Then we can subtract that from 120, to get a sales price of $102.

A shortcut is subtracting 15 from 100 to get 85, and then doing 120*.85 = 102.

From the sales price of 102, there's a 5% tax to add on. 102 * .05 = 5.1

102+5.1 = 107.1

Answer:

$107.10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the discount.

Multiply the discount rate, 15% by the price of the CD player, $120

discount rate * price

15% * $120

Convert 15% to a decimal. Divide 15 by 100 or move the decimal place two spots to the left.

15/100= 0.15      or        15.0 --> 1.5 --> 0.15

0.15 * $120

$18

Since it is a discount, subtract $18 from the regular price of $120.

$120-$18

$102

Next, find the tax.

Multiply the tax rate, 5% by the price of the discounted CD player, $102

tax rate * discounted price

5% * $102

Convert 5% to a decimal. Divide 5by 100 or move the decimal place two spots to the left.

5/100= 0.05    or        5.0 --> 0.5 --> 0.05

0.05* $102

$5.10

Since it is tax, add $5.10 to the discounted price of $102.

$102 + $5.10

$107.10

Russell will pay $107.10 for the CD Player after a discount and tax.

Please answer and explain how you did it.

Refer to the attached image.

Given: m \angle A = 65^\circ and measure of exterior angle at C = 117^\circ.

We have to determine the measure of angle B and angle BCA.

By applying exterior angle property of the triangle which states:

"An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles".

So, exterior angle C = m \angle A + m \angle B

117^\circ = 65^\circ+ m \angle B

m \angle B = 52^\circ

Now, applying angle sum property in triangle ABC which states:

"The sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees".

m \angle A + m \angle B + m \angle BCA = 180^\circ

65^\circ + 52^\circ + m \angle BCA = 180^\circ

117^\circ + m \angle BCA = 180^\circ

m \angle BCA = 180^\circ - 117^\circ

m \angle BCA =63^\circ

Therefore, the measure of m \angle B = 52^\circ and m \angle BCA =63^\circ.
