Answer:

Very handy question to know the answer to. I know of no place on the planet that does not have a tax of some sort.

The tax only applies when money changes hands. It does not apply to any discounts

So if you take the deal, the cost is

Cost of 2 pizzas = normal price - the discount.

Cost of 2 pizzas = 2*10.50 - 2.00

Cost of 2 pizzas = 21 - 2

Cost of 2 pizzas = 19.00 dollars.

Not you add on the sales tax. You can do this one of two ways, the long way or the short way.

Long way

Find the sales tax

Tax = % * cost

Tax = (7.5/100) * 19

Tax = 1.425 don't round yet.

Total Cost = purchase + tax

Total Cost = 19.00 + 1.425 = 20.425 Now round. This is a real problem. It depends on what you have been told to do about rounding when 5 is the last digit. I round up. So my answer would be 20.43 <<<<< Answer.

Short Way

Cost = (Price - discount)*(1 + %/100)

Cost = (21 - 2)*(1+ 7.5/100)

Cost = 19 * (1.075)

Cost = 20.425 = 20.43

4 • (6 – 4) 2 ÷ 2
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Cary is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

4* (6-4)= 4* 2=8

I think it is saying (8*2) divided by to, which in that case is 8,

but if it is asking 8 (2/2) then that would also be 8 I believe. I really hope this is correct and you have a great day :)

Complete the square on the following quadratic x2+10x+9=0
kakasveta [241]
Given a quadratic equation x^{2} +ax+c=0

1. the first thing we do when we want to compete the square, is write the coefficient of x as 2 times a number.

In our case the coefficient of x is 10, so we write 10 as 2*5

2. then we write + 5^{2} and - 5^{2} to the expression:

x^{2} +2*5*x+ 5^{2} -5^{2}+9=0

(x^{2} +2*5*x+ 5^{2}) -25+9=0

(x+5)^{2}-16=0



Answer: (x+5)^{2}-16=0
