Lisa wrote the expression (3x + 6x) - 2(x + 1) + 5. She simplified the expression using the following steps:

You go to a local mechanic to get your tires changed. The tires cost $300. There is a 6% sales tax, but you get a 10% discount.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

a) $T(x)=300x+18x=318x$

b) $D(x)=318x-(0.1)(318)+10x\\=296.2x$

c) Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

$Tires=$300\\Tax=0.006\\Discount=0.1\\$

And we have $10 free of taxes.

Making x= number of tires to buy, then we have that the total cost of tires is:

$Total_{Tires}=300x$

So, what we pay for taxes is given by:

$Taxes=(300x)(0.06)=18x$

a) Then, according to the above, we can write down the total cost before the discount as:

$T(x)=300x+18x=318x$

b) And the total cost after discounts, is then given by:

$D(x)=318x-(0.1)(318)+10x\\=296.2x$

c) If the discount is added first, then less tax will be paid because the amount on which it is paid is lower. If the discount is added later, then the taxes will have been taxed on a higher amount, so it does matter whether they are added first or later.

Can someone help me with this?

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Let 'a' be the first term, 'r' be the common ratio and 'n' be the number of terms

Series = 2+6+18.......= 2+2•3¹+ 2•3².......= 728

Now,

$Sum = \frac{a( {r}^{n} - 1) }{(r - 1)} \\$

So,

$\frac{a( {r}^{n} - 1)}{(r - 1)} = 728 \\ \frac{2( {3}^{n} - 1) }{(3 - 1)} = 728 \\ \frac{2( {3}^{n} - 1) }{2} = 728 \\ {3}^{n} - 1 = 728 \\ {3}^{n}=728+1\\ {3}^{n} = 729 \\ {3}^{n} = {3}^{6} \\ \boxed{ n = 6}$

Therefore, number of terms is 6

6 is the right answer.

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Victor runs a small sandwich shop. He decides to start offering bags of chips to his customers. He finds a supplier where he can buy chips for $0.30 per bag. Victor needs to determine how much to charge for the chips at his shop. He does some research by talking to other nearby sandwich shop owners. The table below shows their sales per week for two different prices. (The values are: 150 bags sold, for $1.00 per bag, and 350 bags sold, for $0.50 per bag.) Victor believes that there is a linear relationship between the number of bags sold and the price. Victor wants to price the bags of chips so that he will maximize his profits. Determine the price Victor should charge for a bag of chips. Use the equation P(x)=R(x)-C(x), where P(x) represents profit, R(x) represents revenue, and C(x) represents cost. Each is a function of the number of bags of chips sold, x. Round your answer to the nearest nickel.
