Answer:
The variable 8. Equation is 16 + 12x = 112.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that she spent $16 dollars on magazines, so we can put it in the equation (16 + x= ?). We also know that the total is $112, so we can also add that (16+ x= 112). We don't know how many books she got, but we do know how much they cost (16 + 12x=112. So that makes the books the variable (X).
To find the variable we need to take out the magazines from the price. 112-16=96. Now we're left with 12x=96. Now all we have to do is divide 96 by 12, which equals 8.
Sorry everything is so long, I tried to make it short as possible
A6 = -8
a15= -62
There are (15 - 6) terms in between, therefore 9 terms in between.
-8 to -62 ... there is a difference of 54
54 ÷ 9 = 6
Therefore it gets -6 each term.
a6 = -8, a7= -14, a8 = -20 ......
So what you should do is
15% off, then add tax or
2075 times 0.85 times 1.185=2090.04 about
you can't just add and subtract percents because they are percents of different things
what he did was
he found 15% of 2075 and 18.5% of 2075 then found the difference and added to 2075 to find his total
what he should have done is
found the discounted price (15% off) then found the tax on that
first way
2075 times 0.15=311.25
2075-311.25=1763.75
1763.75 times 0.185=326.29375
1763.75-326.29375=2090.04
2nd way (easy, if you understand commutative property and stuff)
100-15=85
1+0.185=1.185
2075*0.85*1.185=2090.04
answer should be $2090.04
