Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem has got to be addition.

The sentence "Sarah is 6 years older than Amy." does not include any hint of subtracting, or multiplying.

A hint of multiplying in a expression would be the word 'times', like "Brandon is 6 times the age of Emily" which eliminates D.

A hint of subtraction in an expression would be the word 'less', like "Brandon is 6 less the age of Emily." which eliminates A and C.

The word 'older' indicates addition, or adding, and if it would have been subtraction, the keyword would be 'younger' because you are subtracting their age, like 19 - 11. The same goes with B, but adding.

Finally, we now know that it is B because there is no other addition choice.

I hope this helped. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Jonathan bought a Gucci belt in Chinatown for $35.00. The belt was on sale for ⅓ off the regular price. Then, an additional 8% w

Answer:

<u>The original price of the belt was $ 59.32 and Jonathan paid $ 35 for it.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Amount Jonathan paid for the belt = $ 35

Discount = 1/3 off the regular price

Coupon = additional 8% = 0.08

2. How much did the Gucci belt cost Jonathan? Show your work or explain how you know.

We assume the question is asking for the original price of the belt, then we make this calculation:

Amount Jonathan paid for the belt = (Original price - Discount) - Coupon

Replacing with the values we know:

Original price = x

35 = (x - 1/3x) - 0.08x

35 = 2/3x - 0.08x

35 = 0.67x - 0.08x

35 = 0.59x

x = 35/0.59

x = 59.32

<u>The original price of the belt was $ 59.32 and Jonathan paid $ 35 for it.</u>

$\text{A quadratic function:}\ f(x)=ax^2+bx+c\\\\\text{where}\ a\neq0$
$f(x)+-8x^3-16x^2-4x-NOT\\\\f(x)=x^2+2x-5-YES\\\\f(x)=?+1-NOT\\\\f(x)=0x^2-9x+7-NOT$
