14.4 A Book and a Cake A book costs $45. Sales tax on the book is 7%. Write two different expressions that represent the final c
ost of the book in dollars. Pne of the expressions should use only a single multiplication and no other operations. A cake that costs $32 is on sale for 15% off and there are no taxes. Explain why the expression (0.85).32 represents the final price of the cake in dollars (0.85). 32 represents the final price of the cake in dollars because...
Answer: 1. $45*1.07 | $45(1.07) 2. (0.85)*32 represent the final price of the cake in dollars because (0.85) is the 15% off in decimals.
Step-by-step explanation:
1 if you multiply 45 by 1.07 it will be 48.15 and that's the final cost of the book, same with $45(1.07) is just another way to represent the multiplication.
2 As I said the 0.85 represent the 15% off, and when you multiply it will be less.
