With Calculator:
To work out the multiplier, take the percentage, divide by 100 and add 1
17.5% / 100 = 0.175
1 + 0.175 = 1.175
£50 x 1.175 = £58.75

Without Calculator:
First work out easy percentages of 50 (if needed use previous answers (such as 10) to work out smaller percentages (such as 5%))
100% = 50
10% = 5
5% = 2.5
2.5% = 1.25
10% + 5% + 2.5% = 17.5%
5 + 2.5 + 1.25 = £8.75
Add this on to the original price:
£50 + £8.75 = £58.75

The total price, including VAT, is £58.75

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Well, "minus 6 x cubed minus y squared minus 3 x y" translates to:

-6x^{2} -y^{2} -3xy

Then, if we insert the values for x and y, we get:

-6(-2)^{2} -(4)^{2} -3(-2)(4)

When we distribute and multiply:

144-16-24

And once we combine like terms:

104<em> is the answer</em>
