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.

What is the equation of the following line written in slope-intercept form -2/3 and -1/-4? y = -11x - 7 y = -7x + 11 y = -7x - 1
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

y=-7x-11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The two points on the line are (-2,3) and (-1,-4).

The slope of the line joining two points (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}) is given as:

Slope,m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Here, x_{1}=-2,y_{1}=3,x_{2}=-1,y_{2}=-4

∴ m=\frac{-3-4}{-1-(-2)}=\frac{-7}{-1+2}=\frac{-7}{1}=-7

Equation of line with a point (x_{1},y_{1}) and slope m is given as:

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})

Plug in -2 for x_{1}, 3 for y_{1} and -7 for m. This gives,

y-3=-7(x-(-2))\\y-3=-7(x+2)\\y-3=-7x-(7\times 2)\\y-3=-7x-14\\y=-7x-14+3\\y=-7x-11

Therefore, the equation of the line in vertex form is y=-7x-11.

Solve the inequality 3x - 5 < 4.
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

      x < 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 3x - 5 < 4 then we can transpose the inequality to make x the subject of the equation:

    If 3x - 5 < 4

⇒    3x < 4 + 5

⇒       x < 9 ÷ 3

⇒       x < 3
