Answer: the answer is D.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to determine the correct factorization of the given trinomial which is 5x² - 5x -100. The solution to this problem is shown below:
5x² - 5x - 100 let the problem equal to zero such as:
5x² - 5x - 100 = 0 , factor out 5 from the given trinomial
5(x²-x-20) = 0
5 (x-5)(x+4) = 0
The correct factor is 5(x-5)(x+4).
Answer:
This shows us that there are 1400 readers.
Step-by-step explanation:
To work this out you would first need to find how many times 5% goes into 100%, You can do this by dividing 100 by 5, this gives you 20. This is because the whole amount is equivalent to 100%.
To work out the total number of readers you would multiply 70 by 20, this gives you 1400. This is because we know that 70 is equivalent to 5% and that 5% goes into 100% 20. So by multiplying 70 by 20 we are working out the total (100%), and that this shows us there are 1400 readers.
1) Divide 100 by 5.

2) Multiply 70 by 20.

First you need to find how much 20% of $18.50 is. To do this, you need to multiply 18.50 by 20% which in decimal form is 0.2
$18.50x0.2=$3.70
Now you need to subtract $3.70 from $18.50
$18.50-$3.70=$14.80
Now that you have the new price, you need to find 6.75% of it to get the sales tax, so you multiply $14.80 by 6.75%, which is 0.0675 as a decimal.
$14.80x0.0675=$0.999 or $1
Now you add the sales tax to $14.80
$14.80+$1=$15.80 or $14.80+$0.999=$15.799
I think the correct answer would be C. hope this helped !
