Answer: he would receive a rebate of $1677.5
Step-by-step explanation:
A General Motors buyer-incentive program offered a 5.5% rebate on the selling price of a new car. This means that if the selling price of the new car is $x, the rebate (in dollars) that a customer would receive is
5.5/100 × x = 0.055 × x = 0.055x
Therefore, for a customer who purchased a $30,500 car under this program, the rebate that he would receive is
0.055 × 30500 = $1677.5
A thermometer can help us determine how cold or hot a substance is. Temperature is in most of the world measured and reported in degrees Celsius (°C). In the U.S. it is common to report temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (°F). In the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales the temperatures where ice melts (water freezes) and water boils are used as reference points.
