Answer:

The answer to your question is $21.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Original price = $25

Discount = 20%

Taxes = 5%

Process

1.- Calculate the price with the discount

                     $25 ------------------- 100%

                        x   -------------------   20%

                        x = (20 x 25) / 100

                        x = 500 / 100

                        x = $5

Price after the discount = $25 - $5

                                       = $20

2.- Calculate the price after taxes

                     $20 ---------------------- 100%

                         x  -----------------------   5%

                       x = (5 x 20) / 100

                       x = 100 / 100

                       x = $1

Final price = $20 + $1

                = $21

Scrat [10]

Answer: 4 cents or .4

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever in a problem like this where there is a fee, tax, and or bonus you move the decimal in front of the number and round to the nearest penny but if there is only one number in front of the decimal you don’t gotta do anything with it unless its .5 or higher but .4 and below you keep the same.

Determine the GCF of<br>the following:<br>60 and 144​
Alla [95]

12, Find the prime factorization of 60

60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5

Find the prime factorization of 144

144 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3

To find the gcf, multiply all the prime factors common to both numbers:

Therefore, GCF = 2 × 2 × 3

I'll just factor the above equation.

x² + 18x + 80

x² ⇒ x * x
80
can be:
1 x 80
2 x 40
4 x 20
5 x 16
8 x 10  Correct pair

(x+8)(x+10)
x(x+10) +8(x+10) ⇒ x² + 10x + 8x + 80 = x² + 18x + 80

x+8 = 0
x = -8

x+10 = 0
x = -10

x = -8

(-8)² + 18(-8) + 80 = 0
64 - 144 + 80 = 0
144 - 144 = 0
0 = 0

(-10)² + 18(-10) + 80 = 0
100 - 180 + 80 = 0
180 - 180 = 0
0 = 0

I think the algebra tiles will not be a good tool to use to factor the quadratic equation because the equation is not a perfect square quadratic equation.
