Answer:
He can add through calculater or by doing addition in his mind
a) We have that the discount is 65 %
Scott buys a jacket for $150
First, we will calculate the discount

then we need to subtract the quantity calculated above from the original price

After the markdown Scott paid $52.5
b.
In order to know the taxes first, we need to calculate the 5% of $52.5

then we will sum the 5% plus the price after the markdown

The total cost of the jacket is $55.125
About 1.19 %
80*1.19= 95.2 Since 2 is not 5 or above it get knocks down to 95 exactly
Answer:
length = (x − 8) units and width = (x − 9) units
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to factor
x^2 - 17x + 72
We need two numbers whose product is 72 and whose sum is -17.
The numbers are -8 and -9.
x^2 - 17x + 72 = (x - 8)(x - 9)
Answer: length = (x − 8) units and width = (x − 9) units
