Alright so to do this you need some basic algebra
you have to pay an extra 20% of whatever you buy
thus we can make the following equation
.2x+x=20 (since 20 is the amount of money you have)
combining the like terms,
1.2x=20
and finally, dividing both sides by 1.2
x=$16.67
don't forget to check!
.05*16.67=.83 (sales tax makes the total $17.5)
.15*16.67=2.5 (tip makes the total $20)
whaddya you know, it works!
most expensive item you can buy will cost $16.67
hope this helped!
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 20x² - 18x - 25
f(-1) = 20(-1)² - 18(-1) - 25
= 20 + 18 - 25
= 13
Well 1 pound equals 0.0005 tons. So you have to do 7,000/ 0.0005 which is 3.5. So 7,000 pounds equals 3.5 tons.
Answer:
6 ways - ab,ac, ba,bc and ca,cb
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given 3 letters a,b,c.
We can choose the first letter in 1 out of 3 ways.
Once the first letter has been chosen without replacement, we have two letters remaining. Another letter can be chosen from the 2 remaining letters in 2 ways. So the total number of ways of choosing the two letters is 3*2 = 6.
Listing out the possible set of choices:
Options include: ab,ac, ba,bc and ca, cb
