18.5 would be the answer and here’s my work
Answer:
The total amount a member pays for an item with a regular price of x dollars is T (x) = 0.963<em>x</em>.
Step-by-step explanation:
Key points:
- Discount is subtracted from the regular price of an item.
- Sales tax is added to the regular price of an item.
It is provided that the customers receive a 10% discount if they are members and all customers must pay 7% in sales tax.
Two functions are provided are:
f (x) = 0.90<em>x </em>; the price of an item after the 10% member discount
g (x) = 1.07<em>x </em>; the total amount customers pay for a purchase after sales tax is applied.
Compute the total amount a member pays for an item with a regular price of x dollars as follows:
T (x) = Discount × Sales Tax
= 0.90 × 1.07 × <em>x</em>
= 0.963<em>x</em>.
Thus, the total amount a member pays for an item with a regular price of x dollars is T (x) = 0.963<em>x</em>.
Answer:
72 bowls with 12 cups of cream
Step-by-step explanation:
First, I want to point out that the information, “3 pots of soup” is useless. So disregard that.
1/6 cups of cream for every bowl. That means, the assistant can prepare 6 bowls with one cup of cream.
1/6–bowl 1
1/6–bowl 2
1/6–bowl 3
1/6–bowl 4
1/6–bowl 5
1/6–bowl 6
At this point, 6 bowls are prepared. Add up all the cream that was used to make these 6 bowls.
1/6+1/6+1/6+1/6+1/6+1/6 = 6/6
Since 6/6=1, 1 whole cup of cream makes 6 bowls. That means 12 whole cups will make 12 x 6 = 72 bowls.
Hope this helps!
