We are given an expression : 1.08(x-5).

Given that sales tax = 8%

And a discount coupon = $5.

The variable x represents the amount of the purchase before the sales tax and the coupon is applied.

So, the cost after applying coupon of $5 in original cost $x would be (x-5).

<h3>Therefore,  (x-5) represent D) the total charge before applying sales tax.</h3>

I need help solving 12 1/4 - 5 2/3<br> I’m having trouble
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

6 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to get a common denominator, which is 12

12 1/4 - 5 2/3

12 1/4*3/3 - 5 2/3*4/4

12 3/12 - 5 8/12

We will need to borrow from the 12 since 3/12 is less than 8/12.  Write the 1 we borrow as 12/12

11 + 12/12 + 3/12 - 5 8/12

11 15/12 - 5 8/12

6 7/12

Tasya [4]

Complete question :

The exponential model A=16.2e^0.01t describes the population, A, of a country in millions, t years after 2003. What was the population in 2003?

Answer:

16.2 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation :

A=16.2e^0.01^t

Where, t = number of years after 2003

The population in year 2003 ; can be obtained thus ;

t = 2003 - 2003 = 0

Put t = 0 in the equation :

A(0) =16.2e^0.01^0

A(0) = 16.2 * 1

A(0) = 16.2

Hence, population in 2003 is 16.2 million
