Answer:

$60.00 * 1.075 * .6 + 5.99 = $44.69

when you have multiple fees and discounts and taxes and whatever else, you should follow the order of all operations.  multiplication and division before addition and subtraction, and so on.  

Step-by-step explanation:

For discount and sales tax you multiply, and for shipping you just add the fee.  We will save shipping for last since it doesn't effect the discount or tax.  Meanwhile you could apply the discount and tax in any order.

To apply a discount you take the price and multiply by 1 minus the percent in decimal form.  decimal form of a percent is basically the number divided by 100.  so 40% = .4 then 1 - .4 = .6

to apply a ttax you multiply 1 plus the percent in decimal form.  tax is 7.5% so in decimal form that's .075 then 1 plus the tax is 1.075

so now you multiply 60 * .6 * 1.075 and also remember 60 * .6 * 1.075 = 60 *  1.075 * .6 but the answer is $38.70

Now add the shipping, so 38.70 + 5..99 = $44.69

If f(x) = -7x + 1 and g(x) = Square root of x-5,<br> what is (fºg)(41)?
Ghella [55]

This is similar to the other question you posted. Follow the same steps as before.

First find g(41).

g(41) = sqrt{x - 5}

g(41) = sqrt{41 - 5}

g(41) = sqrt{36}

g(41) = 6

We now find f(6).

f(6) = -7(6) + 1

f(6) = -42 + 1

f(6) = -41

Answer:

(fºg)(41) = -41

Find the surface area of the sphere with the given dimension. Leave your answer in terms of π. Sphere with radius of 60 m.
prohojiy [21]
The surface area of a sphere is given by A=4 \pi  r^{2} where r represents the radius.

As the radius is given as 60 meters we replace r with 60 in the formula above to get the surface area.

A=4 \pi ( 60^{2} )=14400 \pi
