Answer:
- The first mistake was in not taking 18% off the iPad price. A second mistake was in using an incorrect value for the sales tax multiplier. Those two mistakes together are why the answer is incorrect.
- ($575 +0.82·2·499)·1.08875 = $1517.02
Step-by-step explanation:
iPads are 18% off on the day of purchase, so they should be charged at ...
100% -18% = 82%
of full price. The sum shown includes two iPads at $499 each, without any discount. The total price is too high by $179.64.
The tax rate is given as 8.875%, so the multiplier on price will be ...
100% +8.875% = 108.875% = 1.08875
The multiplier used by the student in the problem is 1.0875, so is too low.
_____
A correct computation could be written as ...
($575 + 2×499×0.82)×1.08875 ≈ $1517.02
Answer:
3.803% Profit
Step-by-step explanation:
First let us calculate total sales, then calculate the total cost, and then divide the two.
Sale: 120*1.1=132 and 52*.9=46.8
Cost: 120 and 52
Profit equation:


Simplify:
or 3.803% Profit
Answer:
Interest rate, R = 244%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following data;
Principal = $270
Simple interest = future amount - principal = 309.60 - 270 = $39.60
Time = 22/360 = 0.06 years
To find the interest rate?
Mathematically, simple interest is calculated using this formula;

Where;
Substituting into the equation, we have;
Cross-multiplying, we have;
<em>Interest rate, R = 244.44 ≈ 244%</em>
<em>Therefore, the pawnbroker charged Elisa a simple interest rate of 244%.</em>
