Answer:

190 *.80 *(1.05)

<em> Instead of adding the sales tax, he subtracted the sales tax. </em>

159.60

Step-by-step explanation:

If Joel gets 20% off, he still has to pay (100-20) or 80%

The cost of the tablet is now 190 * .80

Then he has to pay 5% sales tax.

The tax is the prices times 5%   plus the original price

190 *.80 *(1+.05)

or 190 *.80 *(1.05)

Instead of adding the sales tax, he subtracted the sales tax.

The total he needs to pay is

190 *.80 *(1.05)

159.60

Hope this helps :)

The density of a certain material is such that it weighs 6 pounds per pint of volume.
ella [17]

Answer:

Density = 5751.66 gram per litre

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the density of a certain material 6 pounds per pint.

The conversion from pint to liter is as follows :

1 pint = 0.473 litre

The conversion from pounds to kg is as follows :

1 pound = 453.59 kg

We need to express the density from pounds per pint to grams per liter.

1 pound per pint = 958.611 gram per litre

So,

6 pound per pint = 958.611 × 6 gram per litre

6 pound per pint  = 5751.66 gram per litre
