Answer: The first machine would cost $420
and the second machine would cost $432
you should buy the first machine
Step-by-step explanation:If you get a 30% discount, then you are paying 70% of the selling price.
Machine 1: 600(.70) = 420
Machine 2: A 10% discount means you pay 90%
600(.90) = 540 But now you get a 20% discount on that amount, which means you would pay 80%
So, 540(.80) = 432
Selling price of boat: 1.3($10,000) = $13,000.
Salesman's commission: 0.25($13000-$10000) = 0.25($3000) = $750
Hi!
We can set up proportions to solve these.
1.

2.

Cross multiply to solve for x
1. 60 x 45 = 2700
2700/100 = 27
2. 8 x 100 = 800
800/0.5 = 1600
(Tip: dividing by 0.5 is the same as multiplying by 2)
The answers are
1. 27
And
2. 1600
Hope this helps! :)
