Answer:
Yes, he can.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the sale, you need to times the sale percentage by the original price so
60 x 0.50 = 30
Then you subtract the original price by the sale price so
60 - 30 = 30
So the with the sale, the price is $30.
Now the tax
Do the same
30 x 0.045 = 1.35
Now instead of subtracting you add so
30 + 1.35 = $31.35
Yes, he can afford it.
Answer:
-6.1 - (-3.13) = -2.97
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>This is going to be an arithmetic progression:</u>
- 48500, 48500 + 1200, 48500 + 1200*2, ...
<u>So the first term is </u>
<u>and the common difference is </u>
<u>Sum of AP is:</u>
- S = (a₁ + aₙ)*n/2 = (2a₁ + (n - 1)d)*n/2
<u>Substitute and solve for n:</u>
- (2*48500 + (n - 1)*1200)*n/2 = 321000
- (97000 + 1200n - 1200)n = 642000
- 1200n² + 95800n - 642000 = 0
- 6n² + 479n - 3210 = 0
<u>Solving we get a positive root of:</u>
- n ≈ 6.21 and it rounds up to 7 years
Answer
1,728 and 35,831,808
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Any number less than 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number Lin multiplies by 7/8. So, we have:
(7/8)*x < 7/8
We need to find the possible values for x. Lets start by dividing both sides of our inequality by (7/8) in order to get x alone on the left side.
(7/8)*x / (7/8) < (7/8)/(7/8)
Reordering:
(7/8) / (7/8) * x < (7/8)/(7/8)
As any number divided by itself (except from 0) is equal to 1:
x < 1
So, the number that Lin multiplied by 7/8 MUST be less than 1. This is evident, as any positive number multiplied by a number less than 1 will decrease, doesn't matter if its a negative or positive number.
So, such number is less than 1. Any number less than 1 could be Lin's number.
