1225*(1.578*10^-5)=1.933*10^-2
1.578*10^-5= 0.00001578
1225*0.00001578=0.0193305
0.0193305=1.933*10^-2
Alex is correct the book would cost $18.52 before taxes adding 10% tax the book would cost an additional $1.85 for a total of $20.37. This would be just under the $21.00 that both Alex and Laura had to spend. Laura tried to combined the 35% discount which you cannot do. So yes they both would be able to purchase the book.
Answer:
12a^2 - 9a + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
(5a^2 - 6a - 4) - (-7a^2 + 3a - 9)
5a^2 + 7a^2 = 12a^2
-6a - 3a = -9a
-4 + 9 = 5
12a^2 - 9a + 5
