<span>1.       </span><span>Gaetano spent 37.80 dollars including the tax for a pair of jeans
=> the tax is 8%, how much is the original cost of a pair of jeans?
=> 8% = 8/100
=> .08
Now, multiply .08 by 37.80 to get the 8% of 37.80
=> 37.80 x .08
=> 3.024 – this is the tax of a pair of jeans.
now, let’s subtract 3.024 by 37.80 to get the actual price of a pair of jeans.
=> 37.80 – 3.024
=> 34.776 – the original price of a pair of jeans without tax.

What is the y-intercept of the function f(x)=4 - 5x? (Hint: use the commutative property)
Tom [10]

Answer:

Therefore the y-intercept of the function is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Intercepts:

The line which intersect on x-axis and y-axis are called intercepts.

y-intercept: The line or function which intersect at y-axis. So when the line intersect at y-axis, X coordinate is zero.

So in the given Function Put x = 0 we will get the y-intercept

f(x)= 4-5x

Put x =0

f(0)= 4-5\times 0

f(0)= 4-0=4

Therefore the y-intercept of the function is 4.
