Tess and Dan have $24.00 each to spend at a book fair, where all students receive a 15% discount. They both want to purchase a c

opy of the same book, which normally sells for $24.50 plus 10% sales tax. To check if she has enough to purchase the book, Tess takes 15% of $24.50 and subtracts that amount from the normal price. She takes 10% of the discounted selling price and adds it back to find the purchase amount. Dan takes 85% of the normal purchase price and then computes 110% of the reduced price. Is Tess correct? Is Dan correct? Do they have enough money to purchase the book? Explain your answer using complete sentences.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Tess is wrong while Dan is correct. This is because tax is calculated after discount.

Finding the correct amount they are supposed to pay:

Price after discount = 85/100 x 24.5 = 20.825

Price after tax = 110/100 x 20.825 = 22.90

Since they have $24 each, it means they can purchase the book

What is -4 x 2 + 3x = -2​
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

lets goooo

-4×2+3x=-2

you multiply -4 by 2 as shown in the question

so -4×2+3x=-2

-8+3x=-2

3x = -2+8

3x =6

you divide both sides by the x variable

3x =6

3x/3=6/3

x=3

BabaBlast [244]
Hey there! :D

Add the expression's together. 

3x+y=27

-3x+4y= -42

3x+(-3x)= 0

y+4y=5y

27+(-42)= -15

5y=-15

Divide both sides by 5. 

y=-3

Now, find x.

3x+y=27

3x-3= 27

3x=30

x=10

The solution is (10,-3). 

I hope this helps!
