Answer:

2.80

Step-by-step explanation:

The discount is the regular price times the discount

discount = 19 *15%

discount = 2.85

The new price is the regular price minus the discount

new price = 19-2.85

                 =16.15

Now she has to pay the sales tax

tax = new price * tax rate

tax= 16.15 * 6.5%

     = 16.15 *.065

       =1.05

We add the tax to the new price to get the final price

final price = new price+tax

                = 16.15 +1.05

                =17.20

She pays with a 20 dollar bill

Change = payment - final price

              =20.00 - 17.20

              = 2.80

You are running a fuel economy study. One of the cars you find is red. It can travel 24 4/5 miles on 4/5 gallon of gasoline. Wha
Lilit [14]

Answer:

1) 28.4 miles per gallon

2) 34 miles per gallon

3) the red car

Step-by-step explanation:

Blue car:

Travels 35 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline

Red car:

Travels 27 1/5 miles on 4/5 gallons of gasoline

We want to know the unit rate for miles per hour, and to do it we have to divide the miles they travel by the gallons each car uses:

Blue car:

(35 1/2) / (1 1/4) = 28.4 miles per gallon

Red car:

(27 1/5) / (4/5) = 34 miles per gallon

The red car travels greater distance with 1 gallon of gasoline {and thats about it!}
