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:
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
The two angles with measures form a linear pair and are supplementary.
The measures of supplementary angles has a sum of 180°.
If you add the two given measures, the sum must equal 180°.
4x + 2 + 110 = 180
4x + 112 = 180
4x = 68
x = 68/4
x = 17
Answer:
Yes, (-3, -9) is a solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 3x (-3,-9)
-9 = 3(-3)
-9 = -9
i believe it would be 5.25
12-5=7
7*12=84
84/ 16 = 5.25
i hope this helps
