C) (0.85 + x/100)(250+145) does not give the correct answer.
Explanation
A) works; adding the two costs together is 250+145=395. We multiply this by 0.85 because 100%-15%=85%=0.85. We also have x% tax, which is represented by x/100, added to 100% of the value, or 1.00. Altogether this gives us
395(0.85)(1+x/100) = 395(0.85 + (0.85x/100)) = 395(0.85) + 395(0.85x/100)
= 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x)
B) works; we have 250+145 for the original price; we have 85% = 0.85 of the value; we also have 100% + x%, which is (100+x)/100.
C) does not work; (0.85+x/100)(395) does not take into consideration that you are finding the tax after taking the 85%. This will simplify out to
0.85*395 + (x/100)(395) = 335.75 + 395x/100 = 335.75 + 3.95x, which is too much.
D) works; simplifying the expression from A, we have 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x) = 335.75 + 3.3575x.
Answer:
a. 19
b. 14
Step-by-step explanation:
From the venn diagram, we see that:
9 children like only Vanilla
7 like vanilla and chocolate
12 like only chocolate, and
2 like neither chocolate nor vanilla
Thus:
a. Number of children that liked Chocolate ice-cream = those that like chocolate only + those that like both chocolate and vanilla = 12 + 7 = 19
19 children like chocolate ice-cream.
b. Number of children who do not like Vanilla ice-cream = those that like chocolate only + those that do not like neither chocolate nor vanilla = 12 + 2 = 14
14 children do not like vanilla ice-cream.
Answer:
7 19/42
Step 1:
Convert the mixed fractions into improper fraction (Denominator will be same)
2x7+2= 16/7
5x6+1=31/6
Step 2:
LCM of 6 and 7 are 42
Step 3:
217+96/42= 313/42
Step 4:
Covert to mixed fraction so the answer is 7 19/42
Answer:
Javier's parents set aside $1500 when he was born
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a simple interest problem.
The simple interest formula is given by:
In which E is the interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.
In this question, we have that:
We have to find P. So
