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

Graph the solution if the this inequality 4/9x-10&gt;x/3-12
cupoosta [38]

You want to isolate the x-term from the constant term, so you can subtract x/3 and add 10. This gives you

... 4/9x -10 -x/3 +10 > x/3 -12 -x/3 +10

... 1/9x > -2 . . . . . . collect terms

Now, you can multiply by 9 to see the condition on x.

... 9(1/9x) > -2(9)

... x > -18


On the x-y plane, the graph of this will be a dashed line at x=-18, and the half-plane to the right of that line will be shaded.


On a number line, there will be an open circle at x=-18, and the number line to the right of that circle will be marked (bold, colored, shaded, whatever).

10. An arithmetic sequence has this recursive formula. What is the explicit formula?​
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

a_{n}=45-3n

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1:

Arithmetic sequence is in the form

a_{n} =a_{1} +(n-1)d\\

d is the common difference, can be found by:

d=a_{n}-a_{n-1}=-3

Subtituting the a_{1} and d

You get:

a_{n}=42+(-3)(n-1)=45-3n

Method 2 (Mathematical induction):

Assume it is in form a_{n}=45-3n

Base step: a_{1} =45-3(1)=42

Inducive hypophesis: a_{n}=45-3n

GIven: a_{n+1} =a_{n}-3

a_{n+1}=45-3n-3=45-3(n+1)

Proved by mathematical induction

a_{n}=45-3n
