Find 6% of 3,500 and 4% of 4,000 then subtract the two
Lets be a price of the calculator - $ a
then , after using the coupon, you need to pay $(a-18)
and after using 15% discount , you need to pay (1-0.15)a=0.85a
then, if
(a-18) will be more than 0.85a, you should prefer 0.15 % discount, because it will be cheaper,
a-18> 0.85a
a-0.85a>18
0.15a > 18
a>120, that means that if the price of the calculator more than $120, 15% discount is better,
but if the price of the calculator is less than $120, you should choose $ 18 coupon.
for example, we have the price of the calculator $100
100-18=82,
100*0.85 =85, coupon is better.
If the price of the calculator $200
200-18=182,
200*0.85=170, so 15% discount is better
if price of the calculator is $120,
120-18=102
120*0.85=102,
it will not matter, what you are going to use, because you are going to pay the same amount of money
Answer:
9/2
Step-by-step explanation:
in order to find the fraction form of 4.5... we need to set a denominator. The denominator has to be greater than 1 because we 4.5 is not a whole number...
we want the simplest denominator in the end... so we'll pick 2 for a denominator and change it if it doesn't work in the end...
now that we know the denominator... we have to make the numerator 4 times larger than the denominator (2)... when we do this... we get 8/2
since we made the numerator 4 times larger than the denominator... we know that 8/2 is the same as 4
now we need to find the remaining 1/2
this can be done by simply adding 1/2 to 8/2 (which is easily done thanks to a common denominator)
Since 9/2 cannot be simplified any further... it is our final answer
