Answer:
b. $31.44
Step-by-step explanation:
The tank holds 11.75 gallons. Tim will need to get half of this amount to bring the tank back up to half full; this is
11.75/2 = 5.875
The gas costs $4.50 per gallon; this means the cost is
5.875(4.50) = 26.4375 ≈ 26.44.
There is also a $5 refueling charge; this makes the total cost
26.44+5 = 31.44
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The 20% discount amounted to ...
0.20 × $42.00 = $8.40
so the price before tax was ...
$42.00 -8.40 = $33.60
The tax amount is 3% of this value, so is ...
0.03 × $33.60 = $1.008 ≈ $1.01
So the total price paid for the shirt was ...
$33.60 +1.01 = $34.61
Randy paid $34.61 for the shirt after discount and tax.
___
<em>Alternate solution</em>
You can realize that the 20% discount means that Randy will pay 80% of the original price of the shirt. Similarly, the 3% added tax means Randy will finally pay 103% of the discounted price. Then the total price Randy pays is ...
$42.00×0.80×1.03 = $34.608 ≈ $34.61

If you initially have 6 W, 4 R, and 8 B, and you take away two whites and a red, then you have 4W, 3 R and 8 B. There are 15 marbles total, and 8 black marbles, so you have an 8 in 15 or 53% chance of picking a black marble.
