Answer:
Part A:
c = .86*p
c =1.72 for 2 lbs
Part B:
c =.81p
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
Total cost = cost per pound * number of pounds
c = .86*p
Let p = 2
c = .86*2
c =1.72
Part B:
Total cost = cost per pound * number of pounds
c = .(.86-.05)*p
c =.81p
Answer:
14, 28, 42, 56, and 70 are the first 5 common multiples of 14
20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 are the first 4 common multiples of 20
40 centimeters is the right answer
Answer:
$165.38
Step-by-step explanation:
In the question, we are asked to work with percentages. We know that the person had bought three items of a total of 250 dollars (38 + 189 + 23). We are told that the items have a 30% discount, another 10% discount on that and a 5% tax increase on all of that.
First, let's work with the 30% discount. The official way of working out the problem you would use the unitary method. The unitary method is when we divide the total cost by 100. So 250/100, is 2.5. We multiply this by the remaining percent (100%- 30%=70%) so 2.5*70 is 175.
Then, we work with ten percent. The only difference is that instead of using the original price with are using the 30% discounted price. If we use the unitary method again we find that 175/100 is 1.75 and that multiplied by 90 (because we are only subtracting the 10% not 30%) is 157.50.
Finally, we do the same for the 5% percent only difference being we add it to 157.50. 157.50/100 is 1.575 and multiplied by 105 (because we are adding 5% onto 100% so it becomes 105%).
The final answer is 165.375 and when rounded to the nearest cent it becomes $165.38.
