Lets be a price of the calculator - $ a
then , after using the coupon, you need to pay $(a-18)
and after using 15% discount , you need to pay (1-0.15)a=0.85a
then, if
(a-18) will be more than 0.85a, you should prefer 0.15 % discount, because it will be cheaper,
a-18> 0.85a
a-0.85a>18
0.15a > 18
a>120, that means that if the price of the calculator more than $120, 15% discount is better,
but if the price of the calculator is less than $120, you should choose $ 18 coupon.
for example, we have the price of the calculator $100
100-18=82,
100*0.85 =85, coupon is better.
If the price of the calculator $200
200-18=182,
200*0.85=170, so 15% discount is better
if price of the calculator is $120,
120-18=102
120*0.85=102,
it will not matter, what you are going to use, because you are going to pay the same amount of money
I will give you the formula and teach you how to solve this. Let’s start with finding the area of both the right triangles.
The formula is, base x height / 2 = area
Triangle 1 - 2x8/2 = 16/2 = 8
Triangle 2 - 2x8/2 = 16/2 = 8
Rectangle - 8x3 = 24
Add them up: 24 + 8 + 8 = 40 square feet
I hope this wasn’t to confusing
Answer:
x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x - 1) = 2x - 3 + 3x
3x - 3 = 2x - 3 + 3x
0 - 3 = 2x - 3
0 = 2x
2x = 0
x = 0 ÷ 2
<u>x</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>0</u>
