Answer:
Part a - 25 pieces
Part b - 4 sheets
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part a</u>
Think of this in terms of how many "units" can the total paper be cut into. Easiest way to keep track of units is by their area. In other words, take the total area and see how many unit areas fit into it:
Number of units = total area / unit area
N = (85 x 60) / (20 x 10)
N = 5100 / 200
N = 25.5
Therefore the greatest number of pieces the paper can be cut into is 25 units (the 0.5 doesn't count since it's not a full pieces).
<u>Part b</u>
Again, back to units. This time the "total" is 100, and our unit size is 25.5. So:
Number of units = total gifts / gifts per unit
N = 100 / 25.5
N = 3.9
Therefore 4 sheets of wrapping paper will be needed (you need to round the 3.9 up because wrapping paper sheets only come in whole numbers for the purposes of this question).
Answer: -16x+29
Step-by-step explanation:
-7(x-2)+5(3-x)-4x
-7x+14+15-5x-4x
-12x-4x+29
-16x+29
Answer: $18.19
Step-by-step explanation:
The tax is applied after the discount so first find the discounted price:
= Price * ( 1 - discount rate)
= 20 * ( 1 - 15%)
= $17
The sales tax of 7% can then be applied:
= Price * ( 1 + tax rate)
= 17 * ( 1 + 7%)
= $18.19
