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.
So 15-7 is 8
Here are some things I did:
10-2 or 28-20
Answer:
p(a) = -3/20
Step-by-step explanation:
p ( a +b) = p(a)+p(b)
1/10= p(a) +1/4
1/10 - 1/4 = p(a)
p(a) = -3/20
y-y1 = m (x-x1) y+3 = (1/4)(x+4) [using point (x1,y1)] or y–1 = (1/4)(x–12) [using point (x2,y2] [let's use this one since you did] To put this into Standard Form (Ax+By=C), y–1 = (1/4)(x–12) 4y - 4 = x - 12 -x + 4y - 4 = -12 [subtract x from both sides] -x + 4y = -8 [add 4 to both sides] x - 4y = 8 [multiply by (-1) to have x-coefficient positive
