The two lines are parallel, no matter how long they travel they will not cross.
To do the first question, simplify the equation, putting like terms together, by adding and subtracting to do this.
Then looking at the equation that you solved for, look and see if there are any other equations that are related in some way to the original solved equation.
Pay close attention to the positive and negative signs.
Answer:
B 10% off sale, with a total price to pay of 756
Step-by-step explanation:
Retail price (Rp) = $800
Taxes (T) = 5%
- Offer A $75 instant rebate
Total price A (TA) = Rp - 75 + (Rp - 75) 5%
TA = 800 - 75 + (800-75) 5%
TA = 725 + 725 5%
725 5% = 725*5/100 = 36.25
TA= 725+36.25 = $761.25
Total price B (TB) = RP - RP 10% + (RP - RP 10%) 5%
TB = 800 - 800 10% + (800 - 800 10%) 5%
800 10% = 800*10/100 = 80
TB = 800 - 80 + (800 - 80) 5%
TB = 720 + 720 5%
720 5% = 720*5/100 = 36
TB = 720 + 36 = $756
- Offer C 5% off sale plus store pays sales tax
store pays sales tax means Walden's family will not need pay for taxes
Total price C (TC) = RP - RP 5%
TC = 800 - 800 5%
800 5% = 800*5/100 = 40
TC = 800 - 40 = $760
- Offer D a “no tax” sale—the store pays the tax
Means that Walden's family will need pay just the retail price
TD = $800
The beast deal is from the store B
486/900 = .54 = 54%. .......
