Answer:

$15.02

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Total cost= $16

tax= 6.5%

let the actual cost of the slippers be x

6.5/100*x+ x= 16

0.065x+x= 16

1.065x= 16

divide both sides by 1.065

x= 16/1.065

x= 15.02

Hence the actual cost of the slippers is $15.02

Answer:

Option D: - 6; $\textbf{-5}\frac{\textbf{5}}{\textbf{2}}$ ; $\textbf{-4}\frac{\textbf{1}}{\textbf{5}}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is defined by:

$A(n) = -6 + (n - 1)\bigg( \frac{1}{5} \bigg )$

To find the first term of the sequence simply substitute n = 1.

First term of the sequence:

$A(1) = -6 + (1 - 1)\bigg( \frac{1}{5} \bigg )$

$= - 6$

Fourth term of the sequence:

$A(2) = -6 + (4 - 1) \bigg ( \frac{1}{5} \bigg)$

$= - 6 + 3\bigg( \frac{1}{5} \bigg)$

$= \frac{- 30 + 3}{5}$

$= \frac{-27}{5}$

$= \frac{-25 - 2}{5}$

$= - 5 - \frac{2}{5}$

$= -5\frac{2}{5}$ is the required answer.

Tenth term of the sequence:

$A(10) = - 6 + (10 - 1) \bigg( \frac{1}{5} \bigg)$

$= - 6 + 9\bigg( \frac{1}{5} \bigg)$

$= \frac{-30 + 9}{5}$

$= \frac{-21}{5}$

$= \frac{-20 - 1}{5}$

$= - 4 - \frac{1}{5}$

$= -4\frac{1}{5}$ is the required answer.

Lady bird [3.3K]

An expression for the distance Scott threw the javelin is, x = 3y

For given question,

Let x be the distance for Scott threw the javelin and y be the distance for Daniel threw the javelin.

We have been given a statement 'Scott threw the javelin 3 times farther than Daniel threw the javelin.'

We need to write given statement as a mathematical expression.

First we rewrite given statement as,

Scott threw the javelin 3 times farther than Daniel threw the javelin.

the distance Scott threw the javelin is 3 times the distance Daniel threw the javelin

⇒ x = 3 × y

Therefore, an expression for the distance Scott threw the javelin is,

x = 3y
