Answer:

$27.2

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

This is explained in the calculation below

= A cake that costs $32 is on sale for 15% off

The amount off the cake is calculated as

= 15% of $32

= 15/100 × 32

= $4.8

The amount he is paying for the cake =>$32 - $4.8

= $27.2

The above expression is obtained as

(0.85).32

= (100% - 15%) × 32

=( 1 - 0.15) × 32

= 0.85 × 32

= $27.2

The final price of the cake = $27.2

Gilbert and Brian drove 604 miles in 11.6 hours. Gilbert drove the first part of the trip and averaged 45 miles per hour. Brian
AVprozaik [17]

The length of hours Gilbert drove is 7.5 hours.

The length of hours Brian drove is 4.1 hours.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

  • Gilbert averaged = 45 miles per hour
  • Brain averaged = 65 miles per hour
  • Total hours = 11.6 hours
  • Total distance = 604 miles

Let 'x' be the hours Gilbert drove.

Let 'y' be the hours Brian drove.

x+y = 11.6  -----(1)

45x+65y = 604 -----(2)

Multiply (1) by 45 and subtract (2) from (1)

 45x+45y = 522

-(<u>45x+65y = 604</u>)

 <u>      -20y = -82 </u>

y = 82/20

y = 4.1 hours

The length of hours Brian drove = 4.1 hours

Substitute y=4.1 in (1)

x+4.1 = 11.6

x = 7.5 hours

The length of hours Gilbert drove = 7.5 hours
