A. 15% of $20000 is 15/100x20000 = $3000. You therefore get $3000 off the $20000 asking price. $17000
b. VAT is 10%. 10/100x17000 = $1700
You therefore add $1700 to the discounted price of $17000. $18700
c. 15% off the discounted price. 15/100 x17000 = $2550. New discounted price is $17000-2550= $14450.
d. 10% VAT of $14450 is 10/100x$14450 = $1445. Total price after all discounts and VAT is now $14450+$1445 = $15895
Hey there!
Let's think of this with a simpler example. Let's say one package is 4 pounds and one is 2 pounds. How many times heavier is the first than the second?Well, two, because the first package is double the weight of the second package! It's twice as heavy! And to get to that number, we divide four by two!
So, in our actual problem, we just divide 3.92 (bigger package) by 2.8 (smaller package).
3.92÷2.8=1.4
So, the first package is 1.4 times heavier than the first one!
Have a wonderful day!
What’s up again douglas. it would be B
9000 equals to 900 tens. ( 1. 9×10=90,
2. 90×10=900,
3. 900×10=9,000. )
Lets get started :)
Referring to the picture I have uploaded might help you
We have the same base, which in this case is x.
When multiplication occurs in the same base, we add the powers
↓ (I am going to perform the problem separately and then give the final answer as the power to x)
=
↓
x²
The power of a power should be performed by multiplying the powers together.
2 x
=
Your final answer will be the second option
