Answer:

8 * (7 + 4)

See process below

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by writing each number in PRIME factor form:

56 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 7

32 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2

Notice that the factors that are common to BOTH numbers are 2 * 2 * 2 (the product of three factors of 2).Therefore we see that the greatest common factor for the given numbers is : 2 * 2 * 2 = 8

Using this, we can write the two numbers as the product of this common factor (8) times the factors that are left on each:

56 = 8 * 7

32 = 8 * 2 * 2 = 8 * 4

We can then use distributive property to "extract" that common factor (8) from the given addition as shown below:

56 + 32

8 * 7 + 8 * 4

8 * (7 + 4)

8 * (11)

The following list shows the items and prices for a restaurant order. Calculate the total amount if there is 7.5% tax and the cu
Rainbow [258]

The first thing we are going to do to find the total cost of the meal before tax:

Total cost before tax = $8.99 + 2($14.99) + $12.99 + 3($1.99)

Total cost before tax = $8.99 + $29.98 + 12.99 + $5.97

Total cost before tax = $57.93

Regarding the 15% gratuity, remember that the unofficial rule for tipping at restaurants is to tip according to the actual value of the meal and not the tax, so we calculate the value of the tip first, and then we add it to the total at the end of our calculations.

Tip = 15%($57.93) = $8.69

Now, lets calculate the tax

Tax = 7.5%($57.93) = $4.34

Finally, we can calculate the total cost of the meal

Total cost = cost before tax + tip + tax

Total cost = $57.93 + $8.69 + $4.34 = $70.96

We can conclude that the correct answer is a. $70.96
