C) (0.85 + x/100)(250+145) does not give the correct answer.
Explanation
A) works; adding the two costs together is 250+145=395. We multiply this by 0.85 because 100%-15%=85%=0.85. We also have x% tax, which is represented by x/100, added to 100% of the value, or 1.00. Altogether this gives us
395(0.85)(1+x/100) = 395(0.85 + (0.85x/100)) = 395(0.85) + 395(0.85x/100)
= 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x)
B) works; we have 250+145 for the original price; we have 85% = 0.85 of the value; we also have 100% + x%, which is (100+x)/100.
C) does not work; (0.85+x/100)(395) does not take into consideration that you are finding the tax after taking the 85%. This will simplify out to
0.85*395 + (x/100)(395) = 335.75 + 395x/100 = 335.75 + 3.95x, which is too much.
D) works; simplifying the expression from A, we have 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x) = 335.75 + 3.3575x.
Answer:
Think the answer will just be 5
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't use step by step so yeah
x/.75=x-56/0.4
0.4x=.75x-42
-0.35x=-42
x=120
I set up a proportion in which x=the tank when it is 3/4 full. When the tank is 3/4 full, solving the proportion tells us the x=120 litres. 120/3=40, and 120+40 is 160, showing that a tank completely full would indeed hold 160 litres.
Hope this helps!
2x + y = 5
Put the coordinates of the points to the equation and check it:
A. 5 - not make sense
B. (1, 2) - x = 1, y = 2
2(1) + 2 = 2 + 2 = 4 ≠ 5 NOT
C. (2, -1) - x = 2, y = -1
2(2) + (-1) = 4 - 1 = 2 ≠ 5 NOT
D. (3, -1) - x = 3, y = -1
2(3) + (-1) = 6 - 1 = 5 YES
<h3>Answer: D. (3, -1).</h3>
Answer:
Each salesperson sold 89 cars last year.
Step-by-step explanation:
13x = 1157 Set up an equation with an x-varible in place of the number of cars to be found
13x/13 = 1157/13 Divide 1157 by 13
x = 89
