You go to a local mechanic to get your tires changed. The tires cost $300. There is a 6% sales tax, but you get a 10% discount.

There is also a $10 non-taxable disposal fee for your old tires, which the mechanic tells you is not subject to discount.a. Write a function, t(x) for the total purchase amount after taxes but before discounts and fees.b. Write a function, d(x) to account for the total after discounts on purchase amount x.c. Does it matter whether the mechanic adds the tax first or takes the discount first?

Answer:

a) T(x)=300x+18x=318x

b) D(x)=318x-(0.1)(318)+10x\\=296.2x

c) Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

Tires=$300\\Tax=0.006\\Discount=0.1\\

And we have $10 free of taxes.

Making x= number of tires to buy, then we have that the total cost of tires is:

Total_{Tires}=300x

So, what we pay for taxes is given by:

Taxes=(300x)(0.06)=18x

a) Then, according to the above, we can write down the total cost before the discount as:

T(x)=300x+18x=318x

b) And the total cost after discounts, is then given by:

D(x)=318x-(0.1)(318)+10x\\=296.2x

c) If the discount is added first, then less tax will be paid because the amount on which it is paid is lower. If the discount is added later, then the taxes will have been taxed on a higher amount, so it does matter whether they are added first or later.

Aster sold 18 oranges if this are 12% of her total oranges how many oranges are not sold​
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So 18 oranges are 12 percent of her total oranges. You can use Ratio to solve this.

O : P

18 : 12                               P = Percentage     O = Orange

1.5 : 1

150 : 100                          

All I did was make the percentage one by dividing both numbers by 12. This makes it 1.5 oranges per percent. Times 1.5 with 100 to make it 100 percent.

Given that curl F = 2yi – 2zj + 3k, find the surface integral of the normal component of curl F (not F) over (a) the open hemisp
Dimas [21]

Use Stokes' theorem for both parts, which equates the surface integral of the curl to the line integral along the surface's boundary.

a. The boundary of the hemisphere is the circle x^2+y^2=9 in the plane z=0, where the curl is \mathrm{curl}\vec F=2y\,\vec\imath+3\,\vec k. Green's theorem applies here, so that

\displaystyle\iint_S\mathrm{curl}\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec S=\int_{\partial S}\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=3\int_{x^2+y^2=9}\mathrm d\vec r

which means the value of the line integral is 3 times the area of the circle, or 27\pi.

b. The closed sphere has no boundary, so by Stokes' theorem the integral is 0.

I need help on 12, I don't know how to make that an expression! Thanks! Please explain!
exis [7]
A rug maker is using a pattern that is a rectangle with a length of 96 inches and a width of 60 inches. The rug maker wants to increase each dimension by a different amount. Let l and w be the increases in the length and width. Write and simplify an expression for the perimeter of the new pattern.

p=2(96+l)+2(60+w)
This is the equation. p is for perimeter. (96+l) represents the original length plus the change in length. The 2 before (96+l) represents that there is one length on each side of the rectangle.
Same for the width. (60+w) represents the original width plus the change in width. The 2 before (60+w) represents that there is one width on each side of the rectangle.
The simplified equation is p=(192+2l)+(120+2w) (this is your answer)

I hope this helps!
