Answer:

a)

p(r)=(r-5)\cdot 1.05

b)

p(15.50)=(15.50-5)\cdot1.05=10.50\cdot1.05=11.025\approx11.03\ \$

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Assume that r is a regular price before discount and tax

Including discount, we substract 5 from r. We get (r-5).

Then, we include tax by adding 5% value of (r-5)

Including a tax we may realize by multiplying initial value (r-5) by 1.05, where an ending .05 is percentage value of a tax

b)

in a formula p(r)=(r-5)\cdot 1.05 we substitute r=15.50  and calculate the value on the right side of the sign "=".

You solve it too, using a calculator.

If you push the following buttons:

1 5 . 5 0 - 5 = + 5 %

you should get a result 11.025, after approximation to the 2 digits after comma there is 11.03

A bookstore costs $96 a day to keep open, and it spends $12 for each book that it sells. If each book sells for $18, what is the
asambeis [7]

Answer: The break even point is when they have sold 16 books and have made $288

Step-by-step explanation:  The costs are modeled in the equation y = 12x + 96.  x is the number of books sold.

The earnings are modeled by he equation y = 18x.

Substitute 18x for y and solve for x.

18x = 12x + 96  Subtract 12x from both sides.

6x = 96 Divide both sides by 6

x = 16

Substitute into the original equations to solve  for y

y = 12(16) + 96

y = 192 + 96

Y = 288

y = 18(16)

y = 288

Linda purchase a prepaid phone card for $30. Long distance calls cost $.17 a minute using this card when do use her card. Linda
balandron [24]

Answer: her call lasted for 44 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Linda purchase a prepaid phone card for $30. This means that the credit on her card is $30.

Long distance calls cost $0.17 each. Linda use her card only to make a long distance call. Assuming she made a total of x minutes of long distance calls, the cost would be $0.17x. The amount remaining on her card will be

30 - 0.17x

if the remaining credit on her card is $22.52, the number of minutes,x that the call lasted will be

22.52 = 30 - 0.17x

0.17x = 30 - 22.52

0.17x = 7.48

x = 7.48/0.17 = 44
