Answer:

<u>$16.22</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

marked price        =  $18    = 100%

discount                = $?       = 15%

selling price/         =  $?      = 85%        

discounted price- this price is lower than the marked price as they have given you a DISCOUNT- an amount of money DEDUCTED.(a.k.a selling price)

selling price  =  <u>85%  x   $18</u>     =   $15.3= discounted price

                                 100%

sales tax=6%

=  <u> 6 x 15.3</u>     =  0.918 =   $0.92=sales tax

       100

total amount = discounted price + sales tax

                     =  15.3  +  0.92

                      =  <u>$16.22</u>

Answer:

Ellen will pay $16.22 for the book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1:

We know that the book Ellen wants to buy has a normal price of $18. However, there is a 15% discount. So, let's calculate 15% of $18.

18 x 0.15 = $2.70

This lets us know that there is a $2.70 discount.

Now, let's subtract the discount from the regular price.

18 - 2.70 = $15.30

So, now we know the discounted price is $15.30

Part 2:

We also know that Ellen has to pay 6% sales tax. The discounted price is 100% of the price, plus 6% is 106%. Let's calculate the tax to figure out the total amount.

15.30 x 1.06 = $16.22 when rounded to the nearest cent.

Therefore, Ellen will pay the total amount of $16.22.

Use the digits 2,3,and 5 to create a fraction and a whole number with a product greater than 2
mylen [45]

Product is multiplication.

Since the answer needs to be greater than 2 either the fraction needs to be an improper fraction ( meaning the fraction would be greater than 1) or the whole number would need to be greater than 2.


One answer would be 5 x 2/3 = 3 1/3

The time spent to travel a certain distance varies inversely as a car's speed. If it takes 5½ hours to travel a certain distance
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

6.6h

Step-by-step explanation:

  • So it takes 5.5 hours going at a speed of 60 miles per hour, multiply these two and we get a distance of 330 miles
  • Use this distance to find the time if speed is 50 miles per hour, so time is derived by dividing the distance by the speed
  • 330 miles divide by 50 miles per hour gives 6.6 hours
