Can someone help me figure out the answer?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

You will break even on the car wash when you buy 13.5 gallons. As long as you buy that or more, it is cheaper to get the car wash.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to create equations for both situations. If we let x equal the amount of gallons purchased, we can model the first equation as:

f(x) = 3.35x

And the second equation as:

f(x) = 3.05x + 4.05

Then to find when they equal each other, we can set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x.

3.35x = 3.05x + 4.05

0.30x = 4.05

x = 13.5

This means once you buy 13.5 gallons, the prices will be the same. Any amount over that and the car wash will be cheaper

Explain why receiving a 15% discount is the same as finding 85% percent of the original cost of an item. Then, explain how the m
Lisa [10]

Answer:

15% discount means you're paying 85% of the marked price because total is 100% and 100-15 = 85%

Let X be the naked price

Paid = marked price - discount

Paid = X - (15/100 × X)

Using distribution property,

Paid = X(1 - 15/100)

Paid = X[(100-15)/100]

Paid = X(85/100)

Which is 85/100 × X

Hence 85% of X
