Answer:
-4 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Many people find it easier to factor out -1, then do the addition. The fractions need a common denominator before they can be added. A suitable denominator that is a multiple of both 4 and 8 is 8.
The fraction 1/4 = (1/4)(2/2) = (1·2)/(4·2) = 2/8.
__
So, the problem can be rewritten as ...
-(1 7/8 +2 2/8)
= -((1+2) +(7/8 +2/8))
= -(3 +9/8)
The fraction 9/8 is an improper fraction equal to 8/8 +1/8 = 1 1/8. Then the sum is ...
-(3 +1 1/8) = -4 1/8

Answer:
The sales tax in one state is 5%. Write a function rule for finding the total cost of an item with selling price x. Then find the total cost of a CD player with a selling price of $110.
A. f(x) = 5 + x; $111.05
B. f(x) = 0.05x; $5.50
C. f(x) = x � 5; $108.95
D. f(x) =1.05x; $115.50
total cost = (price) + (5% of price)
f(x) = x + 0.05x
f(x) = 1.05x
So the function is f(x) = 1.05x
Plug in x = 110 to get
f(x) = 1.05x
f(110) = 1.05*110
f(110) = 115.50
The item costs $115.50 (after tax is added on)
Step-by-step explanation:
1: the total cost of a CD player would be 104.76
2: Total Cost = (price) + (5% of price)
f(x) = x + 0.05x
f(x) = 1.05x
So the function is f(x) = 1.05x
Plug in x = 110 into the function
f(110) = 1.05*110
f(110) = 115.50
The item costs $115.50
3: Answer:
f(x) = .05x; $5.50
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = .05x
f(110) = .05(110) = $5.50
