First, lets determine the regular price of his purchase :

16.99 (3) + 34.99 (3) + 52.99 (2) + 5.99 (5) = 50.97 + 104.97 + 105.98 + 29.95 = 291.87

Therefore, the regular price of his purchase is $291.87 before sales tax.

If he receives 25% off of his total purchase, then the price is now :

291.87 * .75 = $218.90

We multiply by 75% because we are only paying 75% of the total purchase price since we received a 25% discount.

The total savings is 

291.87 - 218.90 = $72.97

If sales tax is 10%, the total purchase price after sales tax is :

218.90 * 1.10 = $240.79

The sales tax is $21.89 since

240.79 -218.90 = 21.89

If he pays with 3 $100 bills, we should receive :

300 - 240.79 = $59.21 

in change.

In a school of 405 pupils, a survey on sporting activities shows that 251 pupils play tennis, 157 play hockey, and 111 play soft
sveticcg [70]
For this type of problem, it is best to use Venn diagrams as shown in the picture. The areas where the circles intersect are the mutual events that occur together. The area where all circles intersect is denoted as x. These are the students who play all sports. Assuming all of the students play sports in the school, all of the numbers in the circles should add up to 405. The remaining area would be the difference. The solution is as follows:

Students who play tennis and hockey: 45 - x
Students who play hockey and softball: 60 - x
Students who play only tennis and softball: 39 - x
Students who only play tennis:
251 - 45 + x - 39 +x -x = x + 167
Students who only play hockey:
157 - x - 45 + x - 60 + x = x + 52
Students who only play softball:
111 - x - 60 + x - 39 + x = x + 12

The sum of all of these should be 405:

45-x+60-x+39-x+x+167+x+52+x+12 = 405
Solving for x,
x = 30

Therefore, there are 30 pupils who play all sports; 15 pupils who play tennis and hockey; 30 pupils who play hockey and softball; 9 pupils who play tennis and softball; 197 pupil who only play tennis; 82 pupils who only play hockey; and 42 pupils who only play softball.

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Total fruit purée = 2 1/4 L

purée for One movie = 3/8 L

which expression can be used to find the number of movies you can make

Number of movies you can make = Total fruit purée ÷ purée for One movie

= 2 1/4 ÷ 3/8

= 9/4 ÷ 3/8

= 9/4 × 8/3

= (9*8) / (4*3)

= 72 ÷ 12

= 6

Number of movies you can make = 6
