Answer:

<u>The correct answer is A. 12 minutes.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for y, when x = 12, as follows:

y = 175 - 15x

y = 175 - 15 * 12

y = 175 - 180

y = - 5

This result means that after 12 minutes the fish tank would be completely drained and if it's needed 5 additional gallons of water could also be drained. It's not necessary to continue making more calculation with the the other options given because this is the right answer.

<u>The correct answer is A. 12 minutes.</u>

Randy buys a pair of shoes that were originally priced at $147. He receives a 35% discount and pays 8.5% sales tax. How much doe
maksim [4K]
Begin by subtracting 35% from 100%, giving 65% which is equivalent to 0.65
Then multiply
147 * 0.67 =  98.49
Now for a sales tax you would want to multiply by 108.5% (or 1.085) as you are paying the previous price and them some
98.49 * 1.085 = <span>106.86165
You can round to the second decimal place since you can't have a monetary value less than a penny
your answer would be $106.86
