Answer:
The expression that can be used to determine the final cost of the game is
1.06(0.88 y) ⇒ (C)
Step-by-step explanation:
- If the price of an item is discounted, that mean its new price will be less its initial price
- The taxes on item, makes its new price greater than the initial price because tax is add
Let us solve the problem
∵ Ella purchased a game that was on sale for 12% off
→ That means the new price will (100% - 12%) of the initial price
∵ y represented the initial price of the game
→ Multiply y by (100% - 12%) to get the new price
∴ The new price = y (100% - 12%)
∴ The new price = y (88%)
→ Change 88% to normal number by divide it by 100
∴ The new price = y ()
∴ The new price = 0.88 y
∵ The sales tax in her county is 6%
→ That means the final cost will be (100% + 6%) of 0.88 y
∴ The final cost = (100% + 6%) × (0.88 y)
∴ The final cost = 106% × (0.88 y)
→ Change 106% to normal number by divide it by 100
∴ The final cost = × (0.88 y)
∴ The final cost = 1.06(0.88 y)
The expression that can be used to determine the final cost of the game is 1.06(0.88 y)
<u>Answer:</u>
40%
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We are given that last month, Joe's puppy weight 5.4 pounds while this month, the puppy weighed 7.56 pounds.
We are to find the percentage increase of the weight of the puppy
We know that the formula of percentage increase if given by:
<em>Percentage increase = (new value - initial value)/initial value × 100</em>
So substituting the given values to get:
Percentage increase in puppy's weight = = 40%
