Answer:
a. 28.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the theorem of similarity, the following equation can be generated:
Solve for x
Cross multiply
Divide both sides by 25
x = 28.8
<u>Answer</u>
c. buying it at a 10 percent discount without sales tax.
<u>Explanation</u>
We are going to compare the 3 choices and then determine the most cost effective.
<em>a. using a paid membership card to buy it at a 10 percent discount.</em>
10% of $100 = 10/100×100 = $10
cost = $100 - $10 = $90
On top of this $90 there is the charges of the membership card.
<em> b. buying it online at a 10 percent discount with a $5 shipping charge.</em>
100%-10% = 90%
90% of 100 = $90
Cost: $90 + $5 = $95
<em>c. buying it at a 10 percent discount without sales tax.</em>
100% - 10% = 90%
90/100 × 100 = $90. This is the must cost effective method since there is no other cost involved.
So,
0.2(n - 6) = 2.8
Distribute.
0.2n - 1.2 = 2.8
Add 1.2 to both sides.
0.2n = 4
Divide both sides by .2.
n = 20
Check.
0.2(20 - 6) = 2.8
Simplify inside parentheses.
0.2(14) = 2.8
Multiply.
2.8 = 2.8 This checks.
S = {2.8}
$288 Okay so for a 240 plus a 20 percent is should be 288 dollars. Correctme if im wrong
